LGBTQIA+

From our home office in Fort Worth, Texas, we at Same Time Next Week? Counseling & Consultation, take great care to offer support for and treat clients who identify within the various LGBTQIA+ communities. We support your exploration into your sexuality and gender identity.

Identity is not a one-dimensional concept. The way we relate to ourselves and the world around us is personal, evolving, and deeply entwined. For individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, the journey of understanding and expressing gender identity or sexual orientation can be joyful, painful, empowering, and beautifully complex. Often, all of these soul-stirring events are experienced simultaneously. At Same Time Next Week, we celebrate and affirm the rich complexity of this process. Whether you’re navigating identity, reclaiming your story, healing old wounds, or stepping into self-love, we hold space for you to be fully seen, deeply respected, and honored in your truth.

Gender identity refers to a person’s deeply felt sense of their gender. This may or may not align with the sex assigned at birth. For some, their gender fits comfortably within the societal expectations of “male” or “female.” For others, it exists beyond or between those categories: non-binary, transgender, genderfluid, agender, and more. Understanding and expressing one’s gender is a highly individual process. One that is influenced by culture, personal insight, and lived experience. In therapy, we provide support that’s informed, uplifting, and rooted in the belief that all gender identities are valid and worthy.

Sexual identity is a vital, deeply personal part of the human experience. The process of recognizing, naming, and sharing that identity can bring freedom and pride, but also fear, grief, and uncertainty. Coming out is not a single event, but an ongoing act of authenticity. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your feelings at your own pace and with unconditional support.

Many LGBTQIA+ individuals grew up in environments where their identities were unseen, questioned, or outright rejected. You may relate to being a bird raised in a cage, just learning how to fly. Once sheltered in spaces that felt safe but quietly caged, you’ve broken free. Now comes the tender, trembling art of learning to fly without walls. In therapy, we don’t force you out of the cage. We open the door and walk beside you as you test your wings and discover what it means to soar with strength, softness, and freedom.

You might also feel like a song you had to hum quietly with your identity softened or silenced to stay safe. Here, you don’t have to whisper. Therapy is where you begin to sing your melody, both in your voice and in your key. We believe in helping you find harmony between who you are and how you show up in the world.

The LGBTQIA+ community doesn’t just reflect society, it expands it. Like a prism, not a mirror, queer and trans identities reveal the full spectrum of human love, expression, and connection. Therapy can be a place to celebrate that light, to reject the binary, and to reclaim what was never broken in you to begin with.

We are here to support your healing, your joy, and your becoming. Whether you’re exploring identity, navigating relationships, or recovering from stigma or trauma, you deserve to live fully, freely, and with dignity. Your truth belongs here.
