Therapists in San Antonio, TX

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.

In a world that spins faster everyday, sometimes we need help slowing down. Maybe you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, alone - even ashamed at the thought of burdening others as you encounter old patterns & new problems alike. Perhaps you're skeptical about therapy or believe your problems aren't legitimate. You may have concrete issues you wish to tackle, or maybe you'd like to do some healthy exploration of your identity and overall needs. Whether your emotional pain is recent or distant, your thoughts and feelings are welcome when we sit down together. My available services include psychotherapy and psychological testing.

There is no denying that life brings both joy and sorrow. Have you found yourself holding it together and pretending to be ok on the outside but you’re falling apart on the inside? Are you consumed by worry, fear, doubt and constantly question what the future holds for you? Do you feel lost, numb, or alone? If the statements above sound like you, there is hope! You don’t have to go through this difficult time alone. I can help! You and I will work together identifying strengths you already have to improve and navigate the world around you. This therapeutic process may bring laughter and sometimes tears but ultimately healing.

FREE consultations! Are you feeling stuck in negative thoughts, intense emotions, or behavioral patterns that don't serve your best interest? Are you hoping to build more meaning and joy in your life? You may feel hesitant about reaching out for help, especially with pressure from all directions to "have it all together". I'm here to join you on this journey to discover healing and build a balanced life. My goal is to help you find compassion for yourself, develop skills to help you navigate life stressors, and be confident in the resilient person you are.

Schedule your free consultation & guidance session! Whether it is addiction, codependency, trauma, depression, or anxiety, nothing should get in your way of you living your best life! What has happened before today, what is happening now, and the worries of what may happen tomorrow can be a source of suffering for everyone. Take action and move towards your goals, dreams, passions, and best you. I have nearly a decade of experience helping individuals strive for the life that they know they should have, reach milestones, find their voice, and be the catalyst for change in their own lives. Every person can be the hero of their story!

Hi there! I’m Andrea and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) in San Antonio, Texas. I’ve been working as a therapist for the last 9 years in a variety of settings, collecting a broad range of experience with diverse clients. I have a huge passion for working with individuals who have often felt misunderstood & mistreated by systems in their lives & I strive to build trusting & safe relationships with each client I see. My clinical training has afforded me the ability to work with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, personality disorders, & disordered eating.

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.

It’s not easy when you are feeling alone; like no one understands you or what you have been through. When you are having flashbacks, nightmares, triggers and when you live with constant anxiety, depression and physical symptoms. It's OK to ask for help! It’s not weakness when you seek out help through therapy. On the contrary, it shows incredible strength. I provide a warm, calm, non-judgmental, supportive and safe environment. I am LGBTQ-affirming. The therapy session is yours, not mine, and we go at a pace that is comfortable to you.

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.

Like many people. you are facing anxiety, depression, grief, or having difficulty with life transitions. You have some unresolved traumas that are holding you back from living your life to the fullest. You may even have developed a auto-immune issue or a chronic illness as a result of your high stress and traumas. My aim is to help you to overcome and work through your issues so you can get back to living and loving life.

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.

My intent within my practice is create a safe space for all of your experiences. I have been dedicated to providing community mental health interventions for the past 10 years. I have extensive training and experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy, stage-based trauma therapy, LGBTQIA-affirmative therapy, and couples and family therapy. I provide an integrative theoretical approach and I believe in utilizing creative modalities for my clients. For those in the San Antonio area, I do offer walk and talk in person sessions. Please feel free to email me for a consult to learn more about this modality.

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.

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.

It is an honor and a privilege to witness the healing process as it unfolds within individuals who enter psychotherapy. I truly believe that each of us have the power to reach our full potential. When we care for ourselves, we are able to have much deeper and more meaningful relationships with others. I work with people who have chronic mental illness and those who have experienced trauma or need support in stressful situations. I also help people who want to get to know themselves better or have a deeper understanding of self. I often refer to the unconscious and attachment relationships to help people gain insight.

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.

You are worthy of this work and I’m so glad you are reaching out for therapy! I'm an LCSW/Psychotherapist who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychosocial Dynamics Theory and other modalities to help you find meaningful advances. I have worked with individuals and families for over 15 years as a social worker and specialize in Solution Focused Outcomes because I want you to have practical ways to apply forward movement you desire in your life, career, family and relationships. Let me know how I can help!

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.

My practice is focused on working with young adults to navigate this stage of life's challenges, including identity exploration, higher education & career, relationships, and family changes. With so many unique changes and choices, our stress and emotions can become difficult to handle on our own. You may be feeling in need of new coping skills, a deeper understanding of and healing from past experiences, or more clarity on who you are and what you want your life to look like.
