I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor and 5th year postgraduate Psychoanalytic Scholar with the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center. I have a passion for helping others find deep, lasting change as opposed to mere symptom relief.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identities and those impacted by trauma. I had the privilege of launching the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program for U.S. military in Korea, treating sexual, childhood, and combat-related trauma, and this experience, combined with my analytic background, largely informs my approach to care.

Nicholas Hoenes

Therapist

Virtual • Austin, TX


I’m a therapist who shows up — fully. I don’t sit back and just listen; I stay engaged, ask thoughtful (sometimes direct) questions, and work collaboratively to help you move forward. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen, valued, and supported in our work together — like they matter. That’s not an accident. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful tool for healing.

I also bring lived experience into the room. As a gay man and someone who has worked through complex trauma personally, I understand the importance of safe, affirming, and spacious therapy. I know what it means to carry parts of yourself that have long been hidden, and I consider it a privilege to support others in exploring theirs.
