Who am I? What do I want? And how do I move forward from here? These are the questions that bring many people to therapy—and the questions I’m passionate about exploring. I’m Ron Saenz, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Houston. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through both insight and embodied experience. I draw from neuroscience, somatic awareness, and the wisdom of practices like meditation, yoga, martial arts, and flow states to help clients reconnect with themselves in deeper, more meaningful ways.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lubbock

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Lubbock starts with identifying what you want to focus on in therapy. That might be anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or experiences related to discrimination or family dynamics. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they're a good match before you commit.

Lubbock has a smaller pool of affirming providers compared to larger Texas cities like Austin or Dallas, which can make the search feel limited. Virtual sessions expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health care. Whether you prefer in-person appointments in Lubbock or virtual visits from home, having both options makes it easier to find the right fit.

Therapy in Lubbock can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who accepts your coverage.
