Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does LGBTQ Therapy Cost?
We have counselors at different price points based on their experience levels, ranging from $65-165 per session. We’ll match you with the specialist who best fits your unique needs given your emotional goals and budget.
Will Insurance Cover LGBTQ Therapy or Gender Transition?
It depends on the insurance plan. Unfortunately, in the US (& especially in the south), mental health care in general is not covered equally to medical care by insurance companies. LGBTQ and Gender Affirming care is even less likely to be covered due to the high stigma and recent anti-LGBTQ legislation.
However, at The Mind Parlor, we know the tricks of the trade to give you the best chance to receive maximum reimbursement with your insurance. Just let us know you wish to file for reimbursement with insurance, and we will add the appropriate codes to your file and give you the ready-made receipts with everything your insurance company will need to pay you back!
Do You Have Gender Neutral Bathrooms?
Yes, yes, yes!! We have not one, but two gender neutral bathrooms in the building. Plus, every single staff member at The Mind Parlor is not only accepting, but genuinely celebratory of the transgender, non-binary, & LGBTQIA+ community. You will always be accepted and safe in our cozy space.
Is It Safe To Visit Your Office As An LGBTQIA+ Person?
Absolutely. Most of our clients are in the LGBTQIA+ community or are still exploring & experimenting with their gender expression. The Mind Parlor has purposely chosen to exclusively hire staff who have both personal and professional experience in the LGBTQIA+ community, specialized professional training in Gender Identity, and are passionate and celebratory of working with clients from all the beautiful colors of the rainbow.
No matter what you look like or where you are on your journey, we would LOVE to have you in our home. Plus – there’s a security guard in the building for anyone who wants a bit of extra reassurance or even a friendly escort through the parking lot.
Can I Schedule Online Sessions If It Works Better With My Schedule?
Definitely! We offer both in person sessions in Dallas, Texas and online counseling throughout the state of Texas. As long as you are within the state of Texas, we will gladly offer you virtual therapy and we’ve found it to be just as effective as in person counseling.
How Long Does LGBTQ Affirming Therapy Take?
The results you see from therapy largely depend on each client’s personal participation, openness, & willingness to implement the new changes which better match their desired life goals. In other words, you will get out of therapy what you choose to put in towards your emotional growth.
What we can promise is this: Because we are a team of specialists rather than a team of “I-work-with-everything” therapists, we will get you in and out of therapy in the most efficient and affordable way possible! Pinky swear.
Do You Work With Gender Curious Children or LGBTQ Teens?
Yes we do! We currently work with LGBTQIA+ or gender curious adolescents and teens in person in Dallas or online anywhere in the state of Texas. If you’re looking for a LGBTQIA+ specialist who works with younger kiddos (12y/o or younger), send us an inquiry anyway and we will be happy to provide you with an out-of-house referral to our most trusted affirming therapists who work with that age group.
How Do I Keep My Decision to Go to LGBTQ Therapy Private If I Have Roommates or Live With Family?
Your therapy sessions are entirely confidential and protected by HIPAA. Your therapist cannot confirm or deny to anyone that you are a client of The Mind Parlor if you are an adult. Many of our clients who live with roommates or family choose to come in person to our Dallas office or have virtual therapy sessions from their car or a private and confidential co-working room or conference room where they won’t be disturbed.
“Coming out” to friends, family, or work is a very delicate and important process and is totally up to the individual to decide when they are ready to share this information. People who struggle within the LGBTQ community often also have a variety of other emotional challenges including social anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, body image issues, difficulty functioning at school or work, stress management problems, and more.
Some clients choose to share any of these other symptoms or emotional struggles with their friends or family while they are taking time to prepare themselves for bigger conversations like “coming out” which may come later. Emotional struggles are very personal and what you choose to share with others is totally up to you, in your own time.
For Teens - How Do I Ask My Parents To Take Me To a LGBTQ Specialist Without “Outing” Myself?
“Coming out” to friends, family, or work is a very delicate and important process and is totally up to the individual to decide when they are ready to share this information. While The Mind Parlor is well known for our work with the LGBTQ community in Dallas, we also treat many other mental health concerns.
For example, people who struggle with identifying their sexual orientation or are within the LGBTQ community often also have a variety of other emotional challenges including social anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, body image issues, difficulty functioning at school or work, stress management problems, and more.

At The Mind Parlor, we’re not just therapists—we’re people who genuinely care and want better for the world.
We’re your partners in growth and here to help you embrace your identity and feel confident. Let’s start this journey together.
