Hi, I'm Emily, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who are looking to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal, strengthen emotional connection, or prepare for marriage.

Dawn Gutierrez

Dawn Gutierrez

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • San Antonio, TX


Hi! My name is Dawn Gutierrez. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in healthcare.

My clinical experience spans across Family Health, Women's Health, Behavioral Health, Emergency and Trauma comprehensive care at the Military Hospital for over 15 years. I then specialized in gender-affirming services such as hormone therapy and ongoing care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals. While providing care for the LGBQTIA community, I was drawn to continuing my education in Mental Health Care to provide Psychiatric services to this community as well.

I approach each patient with respect for their lived experience, identity, and goals, emphasizing collaborative decision-making and individualized treatment plans. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical excellence, and a strong belief that affirming, accessible healthcare is essential to both mental and physical well-being.

I have extensive experience delivering care through both telehealth and in-clinic settings, allowing me to meet patients where they are and reduce barriers to access. I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care in a safe, respectful, and affirming environment.

Outside of work I enjoy spending quality time with my family, which brings balance to the work I love. Caring for others—both at home and in my practice—is at the heart of who I am.

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 a LGBTQIA Therapist in Richmond

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Richmond starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, gender, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. The right fit is about more than general experience — it also includes a therapist’s approach, communication style, and ability to offer care that respects your identity.

In a smaller city like Richmond, the number of local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited, so virtual appointments can help expand your options across Texas. You may prefer an in-person office nearby, or you may find that virtual care makes scheduling easier. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you see how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ people and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Richmond can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated cost before booking can make the process clearer. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
