Shana Dallas

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.8 mi away • Lubbock, TX


I believe in the strength and grit that brought you here—and I trust that the same inner resources that carried you here can help you build the life you truly want. I work with emerging adults and motivated seekers who’ve read the books, followed the advice, and tried to fix it all, yet still feel something is missing. You don’t need another voice telling you what to do—you need someone who can help you hear your own. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about uncovering what’s been hidden, reconnecting with your inner resources, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

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 Therapist in Lubbock

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Lubbock starts with identifying what you want to focus on in therapy. That might be anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or experiences related to discrimination or family dynamics. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they're a good match before you commit.

Lubbock has a smaller pool of affirming providers compared to larger Texas cities like Austin or Dallas, which can make the search feel limited. Virtual sessions expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health care. Whether you prefer in-person appointments in Lubbock or virtual visits from home, having both options makes it easier to find the right fit.

Therapy in Lubbock can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who accepts your coverage.
