Abidemi Adewoyin

Abidemi Adewoyin

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Happy patient looking away

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.
