Hello and welcome! I’m Anum, a licensed therapist providing support to individuals in Texas and Florida. Imagine therapy as a personalized compass, guiding you through the landscapes of your inner world from the comfort of your own space. I’m here to help you navigate your unique path to healing and growth, no matter where you are on your journey.
I am a multi-state licensed therapist across California, Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas, specializing in helping adults navigate deep-seated mental health challenges alongside intense personal and professional transitions.
With vast clinical experience, I have served as a university career counselor, a specialist for healthcare professionals, and a dedicated clinician within both the US Navy Family Advocacy Program and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
My practice provides a highly supportive, practical space for college students, working adults at all career stages, healthcare workers, service members, Veterans, and the LGBTQIA+ community.
I blend empathetic listening with deep clinical insight to help you manage and heal from:
Core Mental Health & Neurodivergence:
Anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and identity exploration.
Trauma & Life Impact:
Complex trauma, PTSD, grief, loss, and managing chronic medical conditions.
Daily Survival:
Severe career burnout, relationship problems, and navigating life's overlapping pressures.
I want all my clients to know that they are safe to discover whatever they want to learn about their lived experiences. Working with me is very autonomous and rooted in self-determination. You will act as the guide along your healing journey. I am happy to serve as a resource center, grounding presence, and conversationalist throughout your journey. I will always encourage you to show up as you are and trust that the rest will follow as we untangle the many strings that make up our mind, heart, and lived experiences.
I work with clients presenting with a variety of concerns, but work primarily with family history and attachment patterns showing up in the present. Many of my clients come in for current stressors, and find they also need help with developmental trauma.
Clients are welcome to book the first available consultation time on my calendar. I will reach out upon booking to confirm our time, and will offer something sooner if it is available.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. I specialize in helping adults and older adults navigate workplace stress, family challenges, and emotional wellbeing. My areas of focus include career burnout, work-life balance, anxiety, depression, intimate partner violence, divorce, caregiving stress, and cross-cultural adjustment.
I believe every person carries an inner strength that can be uncovered and nurtured. In therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can share your story, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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.
