Austin Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Lisa Daughters

Fat folx, LGBTQIA+ community, grief/loss, fertility struggles and pregnancy loss, relationship challenges, family dynamics - these are all near and dear to me. I'm a great fit for people who've been to therapy before (maybe many times) but feel the need to dig deeper.

Gloria Hatfield

I am a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and rights. I have run groups specific to trans and questioning teens as well as supported clients through life changes including transitioning or coming out to others. I believe that love is love and through communication and mutual respect partners can often get their needs met.

Adam MacDonald

*****Currently waitlist of 3-4 months*********I focus on working with those who feel “stuck” in their current stage of life, leading them to question if they are “good enough”. This is a painful place to stay and causes wounds that require healing. I would be honored to be a witness to your healing. You don’t have to prove to anyone that you’re good enough – because you are enough.

Virginia Cruz

Lisa Gianandrea

I love working with adults experiencing depression and anxiety; ADHD; life transitions; shame and perfectionism. I am a LGBTQ+ and poly-affirming therapist. I understand the stigma and hardship that can come with being a part of these communities. I am passionate about working with those exploring their own identities in regard to gender or sexual expression, working through family of origin issues, and building relationships that satisfy your unique need for connection.

I specialize in working with clients (mainly women, generally aged 14 to 40) who have relationship issues, gender and sexuality concerns, anxiety, depression, identity development, academic/career related distress, and eating and body image concerns. I also provide psychological testing for academic and career concerns as well as evaluations for gender affirming surgeries.

Lee Rogers (Catherine E. Lee)

Life has enough ups and downs without you feeling like that, too. Your emotions seem too big, feeling depressed one day and excited the next. You can’t sleep or can’t stay awake, anxiety makes it hard to focus, and life generally feels overwhelming. The changes in your life are taking over and you don’t know what to do about it. What you do know is that you want something different. I am here to help you slow down, uncover your strengths and discover your power to change.

Tishna Rollo

You are seeking support with some aspect of your life. You may be feeling stuck, struggling with difficult emotions, or going through a life transition. Perhaps you want to improve your relationships or deepen your connection to yourself. Everyone deserves compassionate support, particularly during challenging seasons of life.

Kaitlyn Begnaud Terro

I enjoy working with perfectionism, growth and transitional phases. My clients would describe me as warm, transparent and kind.

Ashlyn Bellamy

My clients often feel disconnected from themselves and the important people in their lives. They often feel overwhelmed, isolated, cut off from their emotions, or believe they feel too much. Many of my clients are members of lgbtqia2s+ communities and have experienced trauma and oppression. I work with individuals, couples, and relationships where one or more partners have experienced relational trauma, such as emotional abuse, neglect, childhood abuse, physical abuse, or sexual abuse.

Catherine Bitney

I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

Javan Jean-Noel

Are emotional and psychological concerns keeping you from performing your best? Are struggles in your athletic, and other areas of, performance starting to cause and/or worsen emotional and psychological issues? Everyone has times in which they'd like to perform their best, in and out of athletics. In addition to sport and performance psychology, my clinical interests include sleep, eating/body image concerns, romantic and sexual relationships, social anxiety, and emerging adulthood.

Miguel Lopez

Whether it's coming out, working through family dynamics, sex related concerns or even insecurities about entering into a community that is loving and supportive but sometimes emotionally taxing, there is a need to work through these emotions appropriately and effectively. Together we can discuss and problem solve issues related to being in the LGBTQIA+ community.
