Geriatric and Seniors Therapists in 78217

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors and offer individual, family, and couples counseling sessions. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge clients' unrealistic beliefs and change their behaviors. In addition, I practice Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to assist individuals in identifying their strengths through growth and self-discovery to aid them in reaching their future goals.

It takes strength and courage to accept when one can't handle parts of life, and so, I commend you. As a therapist, I accompany clients exactly where they are while offering unconditional acceptance and respect without judgement to build a safe and inviting counseling environment. Each client brings a set of unique morals, values, beliefs, and strengths which makes each person who they are. I treat ALL issues from adolescent to elderly within individual, couple, family, or group settings. Chronic Illness, Infertility, Miscarriage, Child Loss, Adoption, First Responders, Trauma, Abuse, Neglect & Adolescents are some of my interests.

I'm a bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed psychologist. I am the Director of Behavioral Health team at Centric Physicians in San Antonio.

I provide services in post-acute and sub-acute care facilities in San Antonio. In addition, I do forensic assessments to help lawyers and judges answer psycholegal questions.

Picture someone who is wrestling with the complexities of life, feeling trapped by their thoughts, emotions, or past experiences. Yearning for clarity, seeking to break free from the grip of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. My goal is not just to help my client to survive but to thrive—to live a life rich in meaning and purpose.

We all want a harmonious and peaceful connection with our love ones. Sometimes we find ourselves at an impasse with our partners, children, friends, or co-workers. These impasses act as barriers that keep our relationships from growing or moving forward. Counseling /therapy gives a person the opportunity to see a "barrier" from a different perspective while acquiring new skills to move through the barrier or eliminating the barrier it self. Many times our underline intentions are good ones but our solutions to a problem may become barriers themselves. We may just need a different perspective or create a new way of behaving.

At Alba Wellness we are devoted to creating a warm, accepting atmosphere where clients can address important issues and move toward valuable change and growth. We believe that this should be a collaborative process in which clients are provided the tools to meet their therapeutic goals. Our staff is experienced in providing the support needed to address a broad range of subjects.
