Therapists in San Antonio, TX

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor working with children, adolescents and adults going through a variety of situations and life transitions. I earned my bachelors in Psychology in Mexico City and a Masters degree in psychoanalysis. I then moved to Miami, FL to pursue another masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. 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.

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.

Do you find yourself reliving unpleasant memories from your past? These could be situations of childhood abuse/neglect, the horrors of war, or single traumatic events (such as car accidents, assaults, or any situations in which your life or the life of a loved one was threatened). If this is the case, you might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is common in civilian and military populations. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS A SOLUTION. There is a powerful therapy called EMDR which has proven to be effective with not only PTSD, but also many other mental health disorders, because more often than not, trauma is the core issue.

Feeling stuck, hopeless, or confused? Need a change, but not sure what it would be? Sometimes life throws challenges that are too overwhelming to handle alone. Whether you are having trouble accepting or believing in yourself, fighting depression or anxiety, managing anger, or dealing with relationship problems; psychotherapy can be an extremely helpful process to facilitate personal growth and insight.

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.

We all get stuck in relationships, issues, and negative thinking, at times. Your situation is unique and so should your therapy. You deserve professional guidance with what you desire to receive help. Please reach out to me and receive that help because you are worth it!

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you’re having the same experiences or relationships again and again despite your efforts otherwise. Or perhaps you’ve been through something terrible and want to escape the grip the past has had on your life. Whether you’re looking for information or transformation, you are not alone. I’m a Licensed Psychologist and Air Force veteran with experience treating adults with a wide variety of mental health concerns. I have a particular interest in helping those who have experienced trauma, those who haven’t benefitted fully from previous therapy, and those whose symptoms have made recovery challenging.

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.

I specialize in providing therapy for anxiety, low self-esteem and perfectionism. Many of us strive for perfection and constantly feel like we're falling short, finding it impossible to accomplish everything within the limited hours of a day. This pursuit of perfection often leads to intense self-criticism and feelings of low self-esteem and inadequacy. My primary objective is to provide a nonjudgemental and calming atmosphere where I can assist you in achieving a state of balance while managing the various demands of your life and the high expectations you set for yourself.

My passion has become couples therapy, and I have recently become an " expert" in the field.

You are not alone. Entering the work of therapy can be scary, vulnerable, and yet hopeful all at the same time. As your therapist, I am committed and honored to walk with you through your hurts, challenges, and fears so that you can experience healing, restoration, and hope. I work with individuals from children (and their caregivers) to adults to help with the important and challenging life stages. My hope is to provide support to you through your journey of uncovering insight and strengthening your unique gifts.

Welcome! If you are here is because you have taken an active role in your healing. I can help by guiding you through those confusing rough areas where you could really use an impartial and non judgmental guide. I do this by helping you identify the areas of your life that need some work through insight, identifying patterns that are no longer working even if they did a wonderful job of helping you survive in the past, reworking emotional responses that no longer align with your current values or just being there supporting you as you process difficult emotions. Let me join you on your path to healthier relationships.
