Kabir Parikh (he/him)

Schedule with Kabir

Howdy!

I’m Kabir, an Indian, trans therapist based in Houston, Texas. 

I support folks navigating neurodivergence, gender and/or sexuality exploration, and relationship (romantic and family) shifts after gender transition. I also provide premarital counseling and am registered with Twogether in Texas so you can receive $60 off your marriage license.

My work is Internal Families Systems (IFS) informed, grounded in both mindfulness and an unshakeable belief that you’re not broken, the systems around us are broken, and you are responding to that. There’s so much in this world that can make life feel like a dumpster fire, from anti-LGBTQ+ legislation to watching dangerous amounts of violence on our screens. It makes sense that anxiety, depression, isolation, and suicidality are trends we’re seeing now.

Sessions can look like talking about ongoing stressors, traumas that you’ve experienced, and the joyful moments that keep you here. If you’re coming in person to the office, there’s dim lighting, fidgets, blankets, and a comfy couch ready for you to decompress in. This space is for you to bring any and all parts of yourself.

ABOUT ME

I show up to therapy as a co-collaborator: someone who moves at your pace, honors your autonomy, and invites creativity into the space. That might mean we take a walk during session, play a board game together, or chat over the phone if in-person or video doesn’t feel right for you.

My approach to therapy is about slowing down together, unpacking what’s weighing on you, and identifying the spaces where you have power, agency, and autonomy while naming the systems that make that harder. 

Outside the therapy room, I’m usually reading nonfiction and info-dumping the best bits to my wife (or anyone who will listen). I also love pestering my two cats, Mooshoo and Stella, and rewatching early 2000s Bollywood movies on repeat.

I received my Master’s in Social Work from University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor’s in Social Work from University of Texas at Austin.

Fees + insurance

Below are my standard rates for each service. I understand these rates may not be affordable for everyone, so I can offer sliding scale (lower) rates or provide referrals to lower cost providers.

  • Individual therapy (50 mins) - $120

  • Couples/family therapy (60 mins) - $160

I am currently in-network with Aetna and Cigna. If you have health insurance through another company, we can provide a superbill for you to submit to them for out-of-network reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to ask if your policy includes reimbursement for out-of-network outpatient therapy services.
