Dr. Victor Wiesner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Conroe, TX


Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

Dawn Gutierrez

Dawn Gutierrez

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • San Antonio, TX


Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.

I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Corpus Christi

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Corpus Christi starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist whose profile names experience with LGBTQIA+ communities, gender identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some therapists may also list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or experience with gender-diverse clients. These details can help you find care that fits your needs, values your identity, and supports the goals you choose to bring into therapy.

In a mid-size market like Corpus Christi, local options for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual sessions can expand access if you want more choice beyond nearby offices or need a therapist whose availability fits your week. As you compare options, look at whether the therapist is accepting new clients, offers a free phone consultation, and has training that matches what you want to focus on. Reading bios closely can help you see how a therapist describes their style, communication approach, and experience with LGBTQIA+ clients before you book.

Therapy in Corpus Christi can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before your first session. You can compare therapists by specialty, appointment type, availability, and insurance fit, then book directly when you are ready.
