At The Couch Therapy, we know that being queer in Texas right now during Pride Month can feel complicated, in array of heavy, emotional, and uncertain when it comes to safety. With shifts in law, public debates, and increased barriers to affirming healthcare, it is valid if you're carrying the weight of grief, fear, and exhaustion. We sit with these same emotions in session every day, and we want you to know you’re not alone in feeling them. We know that affirming healthcare is lifesaving, and we've put together a list of Texas-based resources where you can find support, connection, and care that sees and affirms who you are.
