Therapists in San Antonio, TX

I am drawn to the work of therapy because I believe it is in the context of relationships that we come to know the many facets of ourselves, and can encounter opportunities for profound growth and healing. I see the therapy process as one of joint exploration into the rich worlds both within and around us, and consider it a great privilege to think deeply with others about what matters most in their lives. In this process I draw from evidence-based treatments like psychodynamic, relational, and experiential approaches, while seeking to respond flexibly to the unique needs of my clients.

Universally, we all get stuck in life, and universally, we all have the power to learn and change. I believe the therapeutic relationship is foundational to meaningful wellness and growth. My approach to therapy involves creating safety through honoring an individual’s culture, values and experiences. This paves the way for healthier patterns of navigating one's emotions, responses and relationships. I am here to understand your experiences and support you in living a fulfilling life.

Healing begins with you, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm here for you during this journey. I have 17 years experience in the mental health field and 15 years experience in treatment. I am EMDR trained, and love helping clients heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety. Trauma is a lot more common than you realize, and includes any experience that has affected your self worth and/or wellbeing. If you feel different or like you don't belong, come see me. I'm real, compassionate, empathic, and transparent.

We encounter moments when the weight of our experiences, emotions, or circumstances get overwhelming. In those moments, I'd like to make myself available to you to process and explore your thoughts and feelings. Therapy is more than just a place to talk; it's a sanctuary for your well-being. It's a dedicated space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a non-judgmental, confidential, and supportive environment. Here, I will serve as your trusted ally to guide you through challenges faced in your life.

Are you a woman juggling life's demands, feeling stuck or underappreciated? Whether you're a mom, caregiver, or professional woman, I'm here to help. I value healing, inner peace, and security. My expertise includes women's issues, trauma, chronic illness, and more. Seeking EMDR, psychedelics, couples therapy, or traditional therapy? I offer individual and group sessions from your own home. I now offer clinical supervision for aspiring therapists too. Let's embark on this healing journey together.

Are you pregnant, a new mom, or an experienced mom wrestling with anxiety, uncertainty, and the stress of carrying an impossible load? Perhaps you feel like you're never caught up. During our work together, you will find it possible to breathe easy again, find balance, and prioritize your own well-being for a change. If you are a parent looking for a counselor for your teenager, I will work with your child to help them love, honor, and cherish themselves and their relationships with others. As we work together, your teen will learn to embody self-respect, utilize boundaries, and communicate their needs clearly.

Hi there, I'm Yvonne. I am an empathetic therapist who has military experience. I devoted over 22 years to empowering and guiding others to be successful in becoming the person they wanted to be while serving their country. Are you struggling to be authentic in your relationships, work and with your self? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to where you want to be in life. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit.

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true self and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. These challenges may be related to family, relationships, work issues, and a myriad of other concerns.

I believe that through periods of difficulty and challenge lie great opportunities for personal growth and healing. Through a warm and supportive client-centered relationship an atmosphere of compassion and trust can develop that can help clients gain insights and develop the tools necessary to cope and thrive. I enjoy working with adults, couples and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and who desire healthier, more effective ways of coping with life and relationships. I enjoy helping clients through times of major transition such as adjustment to parenthood, divorce, grief, and empty-nest.

Most of us, at one time or another, experience personal problems. Sometimes they affect one's overall performance, sometimes they don't. I am available for those times when situations in life cause personal problems and you need help to get you through them. You don't have to do it alone. I strive to provide a comfortable and trusting environment where you can relax and feel safe. I aim to make therapy a place where you like to go. I know that we are all very unique. I approach each client in a way that is specific to their needs. I am also accepting licensed interns needing supervision.

My job is to help people live happier lives. My office is a continuing education service for all who enter. The goal for me, and hopefully for the person I am working with, is to learn from each other through the change agent of conversation. After 40 years of experience, my belief is that humans never really change until what they have done is working anymore, is broken, and/or gone. Thus change begins with loss, some small and some life ending. At these moments of transition, learning how to let go is the lesson, whether we like it or not. Whatever big change you are going through, positive or negative begins with an ending.

If we are to live into our potential and experience lives that are meaningful to us, it is helpful to gain insight into where we feel blocked and what needs to happen to move us closer to our authentic self. As a psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst, I can often help you on this journey. There are many reasons why we seek individual or couple therapy. Understanding ourselves better seems to be reason enough. But for some this decision comes when we are at a particularly difficult moment in life--a death, divorce, relationship concerns, retirement or any situation which may constellate strong feelings.

As a Solution-Focused, Gottman Cert. Therapist, I aim to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. We will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions by applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques. With 30 years of experience, and a Board Certified Diplomate, I must earn double the amount of continuing education as other therapists with an LCSW. My passion has become couples therapy, and I have recently become an " expert" in the field.

Life can be overwhelming. Do you experience anxiety, depression, low self esteem or relationship issues and need guidance to move forward? Together, we will identify and explore these issues. We will create goals so you can better understand the changes needed to make a difference in your life.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor working with children, adolescents and adults going through a variety of situations and life transitions.

I have worked with people from all walks of life going through anxiety, depression, domestic violence, incarceration, mental illness, and life transitions such as divorce, death of a loved one, entering adolescence, among others. My focus is mainly psychodynamic.

I have dedicated my life to pursuing knowledge that empowers client's to move away from both past and current sufferings. Life is challenging, please afford me the opportunity to help you navigate and heal your sufferings. Restore peace and tranquility to both your heart and your mind!

Life isn’t always easy-in relationships, perhaps in your job or career, and sometimes within yourself. You might feel stuck or lost, even though on the surface, you appear to be doing fine. You hide your emotions due to the fear that others will use it against you or perceive you as weak. You are exhausted from feeling not good enough, like a failure or that something is wrong with you. The noise of everyone else's expectations (and sometimes your own) makes it impossible to figure out what you truly want. But I'm here, and we will figure it out together.
