LGBTQIA Therapy in Austin, TX, Round Rock, TX and the State of Texas
You’re tired.
On paper, life should be great. So why isn’t it enough? You want to break the cycle your family has followed, but doing things for yourself feels selfish. You love what you do, but the intensity of what you do and who you help doesn’t give you much time to focus on yourself. You’re trying so hard to make it, but you’re losing sight of who you are.
You’re overwhelmed.
Trying to navigate life is hard enough without also dealing with bad therapy. You need a place to sort it all out. You need support that understands without you having to explain every. little. thing.
It feels as if you are losing hope.
You just want to feel normal and lovable. Everyone deserves that, right?
At Hope For The Journey, we get it. Our LGBTQIA Therapy can help you to heal and learn the skills you need to thrive in a world that can be less than embracing.

Individual LGBTQIA Therapy
Living in Texas can be challenging when you are different. You may identify as gay or lesbian. Or, you are transgender or trying to figure it all out. Whatever your circumstances, living as a part of the LGBTQIA community comes with risks.
Plus, there is often trauma in our lives.Â
That’s why having a team of trauma therapists for your LGBTQIA therapy can be so helpful. Our therapists have the skills to not only help you understand yourself. An LGBTQIA therapist can also help you to heal the unresolved traumas of the past that might be holding you back.Â
Some signs that you might benefit from counseling include:Â
Difficulty sleeping
Always feel on edge…like something bad is about to happen
Feeling bad about yourself
Isolation
Unhealthy eating patterns
Controlling relationship patterns
If you are unsure whether or not counseling might be helpful for you, our Care Coordinator is ready to take your call. We can help answer your questions and help match you with the LGBTQIA therapist that can best help you.Â
LGBTQIA Couples Therapy
Your relationship matters. But, not every couples’ counselor will be able to understand the dynamics of a queer relationship. Even if they do, you might still need a trauma specialist to help you and your partner to heal.Â
Some benefits you might expect from LGBTQIA Couples Therapy at Hope For The Journey include:Â
- Improved communication
- Feeling Understood
- Coping skills to keep your cool during conflicts
- Healed attachment wounds
- Improved sex
