I understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.
Hi, I’m Stephen. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are juggling work, relationships, and health while struggling to be kind to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, regain balance, and reconnect with what matters most.
I believe you deserve support that meets you with compassion and respect. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also a powerful step toward healing and growth. My goal is to help you feel supported as you work through the habits, patterns, and stressors that have been holding you back.
There are moments where each of us experience difficult and stressful points in our lives. Whether it's a painful divorce, the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, going through stress in a relationship, unresolved self-esteem issues, questions about gender or sexuality, dealing with a troubled child, family stress, or facing pain from childhood and/or adult trauma. Life can be hard at times; there is no doubt about that. I have come to view those challenging times that we all experience, albeit in different ways, as opportunities for us to make positive changes and adjustments - what I like to call "reset moments."
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help move my clients to lasting change. I have experience working in schools, hospitals, and in my own private practice. Through individual counseling, we move from places of stagnation and fear into the amazing future that each of us deserves and I believe we can have.
I am always amazed at the strength and courage of my clients. It's never easy to take that first step, to commit to the process of change, to put in the effort to do the hard work, and to hope for more. We must always remember that each of us has the power to be who we are intended to be and to create the lives we want. I look forward to working with you...

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.
