LGBTQIA Therapy - Hope For The Journey

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.

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.

Some signs that you might benefit from counseling include:

Difficulty sleeping
Always feel on edge…like something bad is about to happen
Feeling bad about yourself
Panic Attacks
Isolation
Unhealthy eating patterns
Controlling relationship patterns

If you are unsure whether or not counseling might be helpful for you, our Care Coordinator, Nia, 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.

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.

Some benefits you might expect from LGBTQIA Couples Therapy at Hope For The Journey include:

Improved communication
Feeling Understood
Coping skills to keep your cool during conflicts
Healed attachment wounds
Improved sex

How Does Good LGBTQIA Therapy Help?

Anti-oppression + Skills

No matter what brings you into therapy, you want a counselor that can hear your story and see the real you–not judge you for what happened to you.

LGBTQIA+ Therapy As Unique As You

LGBT Therapy should never be cooke cutter. When your treatment is grounded in science, but fueled by what works for you, you get a new, impactful process that creates real change.

A Clear Finish Line

We believe therapy shouldn’t last forever. If it’s done right, our clients will finish counseling with resiliency to feel better for years to come. Our aim is to work ourselves out of a job.
