LGBTQIA+ Therapy
Our practice was founded in 2013 with the intention to provide therapy services to LGBTQIA+ persons by clinicians with shared identities. Today we have a full staff of therapists with diverse identities that represent the clients we serve.
Our hope is that every person who has felt marginalized or misunderstood in a medical setting might find a therapist at Connally Counseling who provides the understanding and inclusion they deserve.
Why trust Connally Counseling with your therapy journey?
We are bridging the gap in services in our county for competent and specialized clinicians who both understand the client’s experience and are not intimidated by the client’s identity.
What Makes Therapy With Us Different
Our staff reflects our client population which creates camaraderie, safety and comfortability. Unlike other practices, our clinicians are queer identifying or allied and have extensive supervision and training around working with this population.
