LGBTQ+ Therapy Group: Virtual, Tuesdays at 3:00
A small, therapist-led group for LGBTQ+ adults across Texas. A place to be fully yourself, talk with people who get it, and feel less alone in what you’re carrying.
- Tuesdays, 3:00 PM Central
- Virtual — join from anywhere in Texas
- Led by a licensed therapist
You don't have to explain yourself here
Maybe you’re out to everyone. Maybe you’re out to a few people, or still figuring out what your identity means for you. Maybe you have a full life and good friends, and you still feel a quiet tiredness from always reading the room.
That tiredness is real. Living as an LGBTQ+ person in Texas often means managing other people’s reactions, at work, with family, at church or in your own community. Over time, that steady vigilance wears on the nervous system. It can show up as anxiety, burnout, numbness or trouble trusting others.
This group is a place to set that down for an hour each week.
This group may be a good fit if you:
- Identify as LGBTQIA+ or are questioning, at any stage of coming out
- Feel like you have to edit yourself to stay safe or accepted
- Carry hurt from family, faith communities or past relationships
- Want connection with people who understand without a long explanation
- Have tried therapy before and want something more relational
- Are 18 or older and live in Texas
What we talk about in group
Each week is shaped by what members bring. Common themes include:
Identity and self-acceptance
Making room for every part of who you are, without shame or performance.
Family and chosen family
Navigating strained family ties, building chosen family and setting boundaries that protect you.
Religious and spiritual hurt
Untangling messages you absorbed growing up, at your own pace and on your own terms.
Relationships and dating
Attachment patterns, trust and what healthy connection looks like for you.
Work, stress and burnout
The cost of code-switching, staying "on" and wondering how much of yourself is safe to show.
Living in today's climate
A steady space to process the news, the laws and the fear, and to find ways to stay grounded.
What it's like to be in this group
The first session can feel a little nerve-racking. That’s normal. You’ll never be put on the spot, and you can share as much or as little as you want. Many people just listen at first.
Our approach is trauma-informed and affirming. That means you set the pace, your identity is never up for debate, and we pay attention to how your body and nervous system respond, not just your thoughts. Over time, group becomes a place to practice being seen, which is hard to do anywhere else.
What’s shared in group stays in group. Every member agrees to keep others’ names and stories private.

Meet Mindy Kitchens, LCSW
I started this group because I know how much it matters to be in a room where no one asks you to shrink. In group, my job is to keep the space safe and steady so you can show up as you are. I believe each person is the expert on their own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as you find your way.

Questions about the LGBTQ+ therapy group
Is this a therapy group or a support group?
It’s a therapy group led by a licensed therapist. It offers the connection people look for in an LGBTQ support group, with the added structure and safety of clinical care.
Do I have to be out to join?
No. You’re welcome wherever you are with coming out, including if you’re still questioning. You never have to share more than you’re ready to.
Is the group confidential?
Yes. Members agree to keep everything shared in group private, and sessions take place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. Your therapist will go over limits of confidentiality during your screening call.
Do I have to be on camera?
We ask members to keep cameras on when they can, since seeing each other builds trust. If that feels hard at first, let us know — we’ll work with you.
Can I be in this group and individual therapy at the same time?
Yes. Many members do both. Group and individual therapy often support each other well.
Do I need to live in Dallas?
No. The group is fully virtual and open to adults anywhere in Texas.
You deserve a place where you can just be you
