LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy in Austin and across Texas

You deserve a therapist who already gets it, so you can spend your sessions on what matters to you instead of educating them. Colors of Austin Counseling is an identity-affirming therapy collective. Queer, trans, nonbinary and questioning clients are at the center of our work, not an add-on. We see teens, adults, couples and partners of every configuration, and families supporting an LGBTQIA+ loved one, in person at our two Austin offices or virtually anywhere in Texas.

How we work

Your identity is never the problem to be fixed. Your therapist will use your name and pronouns, follow your lead, and help you build a life that feels like yours.

What we help with

Identity and relationships

  • Coming out, and exploring sexual orientation and gender identity, including gender exploration and dysphoria.
  • Relationships, including LGBTQ+ couples and non-monogamous and polyamorous partners.

Healing and well-being

  • Anxiety, depression and minority stress, and trauma, including religious and spiritual trauma.
  • Family conflict and rejection, living at the intersection of queer and BIPOC identities, and neurodivergence and self-acceptance.
