Transgender Therapists in Galveston, TX

I have a genuine love for people. I specialize in treating the LGBTQ community, and I advocate for transgender and non-binary people. I also treat domestic/sexual violence, depression, anxiety, autism, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, stress, relationship issues, trauma, hoarding, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and work stress.

Each individual is unique and different and having to reach out to someone for help is a scary and vulnerable situation. I acknowledge this and welcome you in a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment to collaborate together with goals to help you. I modify my therapy to the individual needs and personalities. I believe in client centered and strengths-based therapy. I work jointly with my clients to help them grow individually within their own resilience. I practice and train mind-body-medicine skills with clients to help them manage stress.

Hello and welcome! My name is Tania Pratt, and I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas.

Someone once asked me, "Ashley, what is the number one thing that brings people to counseling?" I laughed and answered, "PEOPLE. People bring people to therapy!" We've all heard that adage: "People go to therapy for the people in their life that WON’T go to therapy”, and it's funny because it's absolutely true! As a professional counselor, I have never met someone who didn't have a story. Everyone has PEOPLE! Everyone has family struggles and relationship issues. Everyone has trouble processing emotions when they feel overwhelmed. Everyone needs someone to confide in and feel safe with, and that's what therapy can be for you.

My diverse therapy skill sets allow me to work with almost any client presenting with a variety of interpersonal, occupational, and academic concerns. I am able to assist clients dealing with stage of life changes, self-harm behaviors, sexuality and gender concerns (LGBTQI+ Ally), relationship problems, mood disorders, sex addictions, women's issues, men's issues, spirituality concerns, and substance abuse concerns. I have been trained and certified as a Gottman Method Level 2 couples therapist and I am currently providing therapeutic services to include individual therapy, family therapy, couples, premarital and marital therapy.

I am a passionate professional with over twenty years of experience, the majority of which has been spent working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have a genuine, natural rapport with my clients and truly believe in the therapeutic process. I am excited to enter the telehealth platform to deliver counseling services. In my practice, I prefer to use a variety of counseling modalities depending on the age and needs of the client.
