Therapists in Ingram, TX

At QGB Therapy LLC, Dr. Bailey and associates specialize in offering culturally humble treatment for those navigating personality disorders (borderline personality disorder), severe dissociative disorders (dissociative identity disorder), and complex or relational trauma. Their approach is non-directive and grounded in the belief that we are all capable of healing when we feel safe and understood within ourselves and by others. We are also happy to provide services and hold space for those who may not have or desire diagnosis. As with all services offered, possible diagnosis is a collaborative process.

I believe in creating a unique and supportive environment where no topic is off limits. My approach in therapy is centered around each person’s individual needs.

You can rely on my authentic, interactive, and curious self to be with you as you navigate your own path of healing. I am here to talk with you, explore with you, feel with you, and at times, challenge you.

If you're here you've probably met some life challenges. You may be feeling stuck and alone. I'm hopeful I can help. My name is Will Abshier, LPC (they). I specialize in general mental health, LGBTQ+ mental health, concerns of gender & sexuality, mood disorders, and trauma. My specialty and training have grown from 5 years of experience serving our LGBTQ+ community in combination with my own lived experience. I strongly believe that effective therapy needs to be accessible, individualized, mindfulness-based and solution-focused. I work creatively with each of my clients to provide them a truly meaningful experience in therapy.

Life can oftentimes feel overwhelming and if you have wished for an instruction manual or 'how-to' guide, you are not the first, nor will you be the last. My approach works to help you better understand how best to navigate the world around you, especially if the world was not built with you in mind. Together, we can develop the support, structure, and safety that you deserve while going through life. My practice is neurodivergence-affirming and queer-positive. I strive to foster an environment where you can belong, instead of one where you have to fit in.

So, you’re looking for a therapist. Asking for help is a courageous first step to healing! As I tell you more about my skills and specialities, keep in mind I’m here to center you and your needs for therapy in a gentle way. My primary goal as your therapist is to hold a safer, nonjudgmental space for you as we uncover your innate power and most genuine self. I truly believe you are the authority of your own experiences and I am here as part guide, part sidekick, and part confidant.

Are you or your child struggling with signs of anxiety, depression? Maybe feeling out of place or constantly misunderstood? I am here to tell you, you are not alone. Given my own identities and experiences I am especially passionate about working with children, teens and young adults (ages 4-21) with the following identities: Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA2S+, Impacted by foster care/adoption, and/or Impacted by trauma. I practice from client centered theory using a prescriptive lens to apply what is most effective for you/your child while viewing things through the broader picture of attachment and interpersonal neurobiology.

I’m fucking tired, too – of all of it – but nothing is going to change until we dig deep into the roots of how we got here. We must reckon with our personal and collective past if we’re going to have any real hope of a future worth living in. Healing is like vomiting – the only way to feel better is to get it out. I will be like that friend who holds your hair back as you release whatever’s ailing you. This is a collective effort that we all must hold ourselves accountable to… just come find me when you’re ready to hug the toilet.

I hope you take a moment to recognize how much work you’ve done to get to this place. You’ve survived this long, and you should be proud. For most folks, surviving on its own doesn’t cut it anymore. We need to make some adjustments to sustain a more grounded and full life. I want you to experience collaborative healing that is safe, free of judgment, occasionally humorous, and rooted in kindness and gratitude. I currently practice under Therapy Austin and Central Austin Psychotherapy offering in-person and telehealth services.

Questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity? Navigating a new diagnosis or questioning if you’re neurodivergent? The journey can be daunting, and having a therapist you trust can make a huge difference. I am passionate about supporting teens and adults in navigating life’s challenges with authenticity, curiosity, connection, and hope. I specialize in the intersection of mental health with LGBTQIA+ identities, with particular interest and experience in working with queer folks in eating disorder recovery.

I am proud to work with clients whose brains are different, whose ways of looking at and interacting with the world are unique, and who are looking to untangle their authentic selves from the mask society pushed them to wear, learn to love/accept themselves as they are, and use this radical self-love to make the changes they want to see. Creative, brave, bold, spicy, innovative, intelligent, justice-oriented - these are the traits that were already there inside those wonderful human beings I serve, and one way or another the world tried to bury them. But the world didn't know they were seeds.

I believe that a lively and genuine therapy relationship can be a means to healing and self-discovery. My goal is to help folks gain access to a full range of emotions. My experience as a musician and parent make me a good fit for artists and parents alike. As the premiere psychotherapist working with transgender clients in Austin Texas since 1998, I bring unparalleled knowledge and skill to those seeking to understand their own unique identities. I am an affirmative psychotherapist using relational and attachment theory, and mindfulness related to interpersonal neurobiology, I work with individuals and groups.

Have you ever felt alone in a crowd? Struggling with the difficulties of your lived experiences and feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders can be a common human experience, and overwhelming to the point of feeling weak, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. When you find yourself grappling with a sense of doom and experiencing a feeling of everything falling apart around you, all you desire is someone who can acknowledge your emotions, stand by your side, actively listen, and empathize with your situation.

I primarily work with clients within queer community, especially trans folks, and lifestyles such as kink, polyamory, or sex work. My hope is to provide a safe space (and a sliding scale!) where you don't have to spend your time in therapy educating your therapist on the concepts that are everyday within your own life. I love work around emotional regulation, communication and conflict resolution, with individuals and with multiple people within a relationship, to help develop healthier coping mechanisms, processing techniques, and self-acceptance/self-care methods to improve feelings of empowerment, security, and life satisfaction.

I view my clients as being experts on their own lived experiences. I am a client centered counselor, and I believe that my clients have what it takes to make positive changes for themselves, and hope to assist them in this process. My goal is to help them to build skills and create new thought patterns which are more conducive to them being able to live their lives as the best version of themselves.

I specialize in treating clients with intersectional identities, specifically: nonbinary/LGBTQIA, neurodivergent, chronically ill, and BIPOC-identifying. I would describe myself as a compassionate therapist dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey toward mental wellness. In my practice, psychotherapy is a collaborative journey where I empower my clients to actively participate in their treatment decisions. Your goals are my priority, and together we'll work towards fostering mental flexibility, emotional control, and mindful awareness.

I understand it can be difficult to choose someone you can trust to collaboratively guide you through your healing journey. My role is to meet you where you are in the process, in a non-judgmental and positive way towards the goals or changes you envision as possible. My experience is working with people struggling with Depression and Anxiety. Including Queer/Trans community, multilingual communities, intersectional identity issues, acculturative/cultural stress, identity development, chronically-ill and different-abled community, and Latinx/e community. I provide these services in English and Spanish.
