LGBT therapists in Belton, TX

My name is Dr. Jessica Sanchez and I am a Spanish-speaking Licensed Professional Counselor and Chemical Dependency Counselor. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science from Lamar University in 2004 and became a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in 2008. In 2024, I graduated with a Doctorate of Psychology from the Walden University.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it is also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.

Seeking help can be the first step to acquire greater understanding and insight into our lives and relationships.

My clients should know that I provide a calm, nonjudgemental space where they can show up exactly as they are. I understand how overwhelming anxiety, depression, and trauma can feel, and I approach each session with compassion and respect. I believe healing happens at your own pace, and I will walk alongside you as we work toward meaningful change.

Hello! I'm Lina, a compassionate psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and self-esteem. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling genuinely seen and understood. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and engaged, and I view therapy as a collaborative process built on curiosity rather than judgment. I value depth over quick fixes and strive to create a space where you can explore your inner life with honesty, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and make choices that feel more authentic.

It's easy to feel stuck in life with limited support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in private practice and inpatient settings, I strive to make my clients seen and heard for who they are.

You've been called too much, or not enough. Maybe both, depending on the room. I work with individuals and couples in affirming, culturally responsive therapy. POC, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in ENM and nontraditional relationships, and anyone who's spent a lifetime translating themselves to be understood. Clients come in carrying grief, people-pleasing patterns, identity questions, the weight of being misread, or a relationship that's drifted, gone quiet, or is trying to find a new shape that actually fits. I'll challenge you and stay warm doing it. I don't ask you to shrink or perform to be met. This is a space to be known in full.

I began my career in education more than 25 years ago and currently serve as both a mental health professional and professional school counselor. I am deeply committed to promoting self-care, mental health, nutrition, and overall wellness as essential components of quality of life. In addition to being a Licensed Professional Counselor and certified school teacher, I hold a Master of Science in Nutrition and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My approach is rooted in holistic wellness, supporting physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being through healthy living and intentional self care.

What I most want to impress upon you all is that I myself, have over 210 hours on the couch. I have been engaged in my own inner work since 2013. I continue and plan to always dig deeper within to extract every inch of meaning that is possible to obtain on this journey of life to leave this world a little better than I found it.
