I’m a Doctor of Social Work, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Army combat veteran with degrees in Sociology, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Social Work. My approach to therapy is humanistic, compassionate, honest, and practical. I believe that life’s stressors, whether they come from work, relationships, major life changes, past experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed by everything at once, can affect us in ways that are difficult to manage alone.
I strive to create a space where you feel respected, heard, and understood without judgment.
My name is William Dexter I am a LMFT licensed marriage family therapist. I am devoted to the health, well-being, and safety of clients and have lived a clean and sober lifestyle for over thirty years.

I'm Brad and I'm a therapist in North Austin who specializes in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My style has been described as compassionate, mindful, and relational.

I have been working in the mental health field for many years and have had the privilege of supporting individuals through many of life’s challenges.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

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.
