Luke Hayslip

Luke Hayslip

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

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 Lubbock

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lubbock starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly states experience with LGBTQIA+ people, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit may also depend on what you want support with, such as identity exploration, relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, or family dynamics. A therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and background can help you see whether their experience matches your needs.

In a mid-size market like Lubbock, local affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger cities, and virtual care can expand your options. You may want an in-person therapist near your home, campus, or workplace, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Read each bio for direct mentions of LGBTQIA+ populations, queer affirming therapy, transgender friendly care, and the therapist’s communication style.

Therapy in Lubbock can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lubbock who match your preferences, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can review therapist bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
