I am brand new at this. Please be gentle. I am the Community Projects Specialist at the Montrose Center (formerly Montrose Counseling Center), and I think we're notable.

The Montrose Center was founded in 1978, originally as Montrose Counseling Center, when a group of Houston-area lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender activists held a town hall meeting to galvanize the community in the wake of gay-rights opponent Anita Bryant's visit to Texas.

Among those in attendance were a group of therapists who thought it was important for Houston to have a publicly identified, safe and affirming place to go for counseling that did not pathologize sexual orientation and gender identity.
