Houston Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Dr. Nevine Sultan

Many of my clients come to me having tried traditional talk therapy unsuccessfully. My trauma-informed, body-centered relational gestalt approach allows you to explore how you may be clinging to traumatic memories, to confront fear and self-doubt, to integrate disowned parts of yourself, and to release what is limiting you. I have advanced training and certification in trauma-informed and body-centered/somatic approaches, hypnotherapy, breath therapy, therapeutic yoga, and mindfulness (MBSR).

Ryan Pescaia

My ideal client is one that wants help and wants to change. However, I feel most comfortable working with clients that are struggling with LGBT+ issues - specifically, anxiety, depression, and lack of familial acceptance. I can relate with this type of client and empathize more than most. I can help the client find hope, encouragement, and optimism. I can assist the client sort through the life-long implications of this specific trauma.

I frequently have the opportunity to work with people who struggle with feeling “good enough”, who struggle with feeling like they are “doing enough”, or who struggle with relaxing. I specialize in working with concerns related to anxiety, trauma, pregnancy & postpartum, life transitions, motherhood, LGBTQ+ wellness, and stress. Over the years, I’ve noticed that I tend to work well with individuals who have experienced childhood emotional neglect, perfectionism, and identity struggles.

You're ready to leave the religion you were raised in, but you are struggling to feel confident in this decision. Deep down you know that your former religion is no longer right for you, but every time you try to speak about it you find yourself stuck in feeling anxious and guilty. You're afraid to tell your parents, friends, or spouse about your decision for fear of how they will respond. I want to help you find the confidence, self-worth, and boundaries you need to get unstuck!

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Elizabeth Seabolt Esparza

My main passion is working with the LGBTQ community. My areas of interest include grief work, trauma, dissociative disorders, HIV, depression, and anxiety. While I am not a couples therapist, I take a sex-positive approach and enjoy working with folks in polyamorous/non-monogamous relationships, as well as members of the kink community. I view therapy as a collaborative approach between the therapist and the client. **Please note- I do not accept insurance but can provide a receipt**

Sandra Thomas

I am a travel companion on this journey of life we are all on with my clients. I am able to listen to what is bothering you, offer advice and a different perspective to situations you may have or are currently facing, and I am able to give you coping skills to help you traverse either the path you have chosen or a different path you may have missed.

Lauren Timkovich

It's easy to feel lost for answers, especially if it feels like you've tried everything to fix the problems you're facing. Maybe you're burnt out, the solutions you've tried aren't working, or you've experienced a big life disruption you don't know how to recover from. I help women and men who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, relational conflict, and anger; those who feel like they've drifted from their deepest desires for life. I get it, life is so hard to navigate!

Katherine Traxler-LaFrance

With my therapeutic lens, I see the best in my clients. I see their strengths and where they are working to improve. I do my best to understand where they are coming from and meet them where they are. So when we have sessions together, know that you are getting someone who is on your side. Even in family or couples sessions, no one is the bad guy. The problem is the bad guy. We work as a team. We are all allies in tackling this conflict that is making you feel disconnected and frustrated.

Elizabeth Bolton

My ideal client is an athlete or athletic artist (active or retired) who wants to improve their relationship with their body to improve their performance, and strengthen the relationship within their identity. Whether or not they are preparing for a professional career, the athletes I work with have a more complicated relationship with their body than their non-athletic peers and need that relationship to be at the top of their game.

The Family Relationship Center PLLC

Are you wanting a better relationship but just do not know where to begin? Sometimes when a couple just verbalize each others perspectives, hearing something new may change how they interact and move forward. Having new tools to communicate and see your relationship help tremendously.

Rae McWilliams

I love working with clients who are looking to be affirmed and accepted. I am a sex positive, kink and polyamory friendly therapist with a humanistic lens, who believes that you are the expert on your own experience and health. I enjoy given clients a safe space to work through past experiences, identity conflicts, sexuality confusion, communication conflicts with loved ones, racial injustice experiences, and challenging toxic masculinity ideology.

Marcey Heschel

I work primarily with individuals and adolescents struggling with anxiety, self esteem, depression, LGBTQ+issues, highly sensitive people and empaths. I also work with couples and families as I believe that in order to best understand a client, I must also understand the family and system that they come from. I particularly love working with adolescents because I know first hand how tough those years can be.
