Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.
Licensed Private Counselor, MS, MEd., LPC, EMDR Trained
I am a Licensed Private Counselor serving clients in Texas. I believe all experiences in our lives whether good or bad can help a person grow by equipping themselves with knowledge and skills to better understand who they are as a person. All information about a person is important and can be used as a steppingstone toward wholeness and healing. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and people with special needs.
Hi, I’m Elizabeth Gyang, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master of Science in Nursing. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping each individual achieve emotional wellness and improved quality of life.
I believe every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to empower you and your family with the tools and guidance needed to navigate life's challenges and build lasting resilience.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and wellness—one step at a time.
My name is Rachel Butler and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas. I am a queer, nonbinary person living in Texas and my pronouns are they/them/theirs. I primarily work with adults and LGBTQIA+ individuals in the areas of trauma, anxiety, boundary setting, crisis, and relationship issues.
Hi, I’m Lauren.
Let’s skip the therapy stereotypes for a second.
If you’re looking for someone who’s going to sit quietly, nod, and give you a bunch of “mm-hmm’s” while you spin in circles, I’m probably not your therapist. If you’re looking for someone who will actually listen, be honest with you, and help you figure out what the hell is keeping you stuck, we might be a really good fit.
I believe growth requires asking tough questions and having uncomfortable conversations. I also know that trauma, change, and vulnerability can be scary as hell. My goal isn’t to throw you into the deep end and tell you to swim. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to approach the hard stuff while still challenging you in ways that actually lead to growth—not overwhelm your nervous system.
Hi, I’m Nathan, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in Texas with 25 years of experience in Christian counseling. I earned my M.A. from Amberton University and my B.A. in Pastoral Counseling from Criswell College. As a multicultural therapist, I enjoy helping people from all backgrounds work through life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
PMHNP | Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD | Medication Management | Virtual Texas
Providing virtual psychiatric medication management for adults across Texas with convenient telehealth appointments.
Hi, I’m Delia Patino, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 6 years of experience providing mental health care and more than 15 years of nursing experience. I believe mental health is an essential part of overall wellness, stability, and quality of life.
Seeking support can be a difficult first step, and I strive to provide a compassionate, respectful, and judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, mood disorders, ADHD, and psychotic disorders through personalized medication management and evidence-based treatment approaches.
I believe therapy should feel less like performing and more like finally being able to exhale. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and rooted in genuine human connection. I specialize in psychoanalytic and narrative therapy, helping clients explore the deeper patterns, relationships, experiences, and stories that shape how they move through the world. Together, we work to uncover the “why” beneath recurring emotions, behaviors, relationship dynamics, and internal conflicts while also rewriting narratives that no longer serve you.

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 an LGBTQIA Therapist in Laredo
Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Laredo starts with finding identity-affirming care that matches your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, family or relationship stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse clients, or training related to gender-affirming care. These details can help you find someone whose background fits the kind of support you want.
In a mid-size city like Laredo, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in Texas. You may also want to compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Read each therapist’s bio before booking to see how they describe their style, the communities they support, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Laredo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and review estimated costs before booking. You can browse profiles, review estimated costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
