Multicultural Therapists in San Marcos, TX

I am a multicultural, multilingual, Latina Clinical Social Worker, who is deeply committed to providing a safe, strength-based, client-centered, empowering environment, where we can collaboratively work to increase your emotional wellbeing by supporting and guiding you on your unique emotional healing journey.

Karina Garcia treats adults, adolescents, couples and families who have a wide range of presenting problems. I have particular interests in trauma, relationship issues, including couples therapy, mood disorders, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, sexual abuse, ADHD and men's vulnerability. I have specialized training, experience, and interests in the treatment of children with behavior problems and families disrupted by divorce. I also enjoy working with multicultural backgrounds as well as immigrant populations. All services are available in English or Spanish.

Individuals, couples, and families who come to my office are generally in some sort of pain or discomfort, moving back and forth between what is happening in their lives and what they want from life. Our conversations help shed light on why this is happening and what we can do to help you feel better. Although I use a variety of psychotherapeutic methods in my practice, the foundation of my work is in the relationship we create, the trust we establish, and the compassion we share. I welcome you to my practice.

In my experience, I've found that people come to therapy when they are in a crisis situation or encounter something that seems too overwhelming to face on their own. I approach my work in a collaborative way that promotes self-awareness, understanding, support and discovery, promoting safety and understanding. By focusing strengths, I hope to assist my clients in finding healthy ways to cope with stressors, achieve desired changes, better understand how they relate to others and the world, develop personal potential and empower in a gentle, purposeful manner.

Whether you had more ups or downs in 2020, it was a trying year for everyone. Perhaps it brought new behaviors out of your children or yourself. Maybe it reminded you of past traumas. Many of us have "big T" Traumas like abuse or near death experiences. All of us have some "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected by others. Part of us gets stuck back when the no-good-dirty-rotten-thing happened, but you don't have to stay there. You can be free of the grip of both big T and little t traumas. These no longer have to affect you, your child, the way you parent, or a myriad of other things like weight management.

My ideal client is someone who knows that therapy will not work unless they are able to put in the effort as well.

I am an EMDR trained, trauma-informed, warrior therapist who has had to face difficult situations myself, have learned from my own trauma, have grown in ways I never thought possible. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist not only do I use my educational background, but also life lessons to assist other women who are in the midst of their journey, no matter what that journey is; depression, anxiety or fear. Fear comes in many forms. Trauma comes in many forms. Micro-aggressions leveled at you from work and home all can play a role in how you have navigated life; how you have lost your way at times.

My primary therapeutic methods are Solution Focused, CBT. Trauma Focused, Client Centered Mindfulness and Positive Phycology. Culturally, social, racial and economic status considered, and my client has a voice in therapy. I also provide identity work and life transitions, especially for single parents, college students and newly retired. I also have Women of Color groups and women wellness retreats.

I am working on a horror reality-based project with the business mogul & my Spiritual husband "Curtis 50 Cent Jackson". I provide treatment in Virginia & Texas. Clientele includes Secretary of Defense, Department of Defense, Veterans, celebrities and civilian families. I help people manifest life goals using multi-modality therapy, energy/love, mindfulness, prayer/meditation, super foods, movement, music, nature, art, and/or positive affirmations for clarity. Additionally, I educate client about maximizing their somatic and automatic nervous system by reprogramming negative thoughts.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to talk about your feelings, thoughts, and experiences? Maybe you worry all the time, or feel tired, irritated and unmotivated. You have a real desire to change things, but you feel stuck and overwhelmed. I can help you gain insight into your emotions, develop healthier coping skills, and build resilience. With therapy you can find a deeper sense of self-awareness and have a better relationship with yourself and others.

Hi there, I'm Kelly. I know that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy, and I strive to meet my clients where they are at. I use strength-based, egalitarian, and person-centered approaches and believe in the major importance of creating a safe and shared space in which everyone can feel open to explore all aspects of themselves. Being vulnerable is not easy, and I acknowledge the strength and guts it takes to make that first step toward change.

My name is Rozana Yousef, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate practicing in Texas, USA. I offer telehealth counseling to adolescents and adults, and have experience working with individuals from multiple cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I offer counseling in both English and Arabic to individuals and couples. My main therapeutic modality is cognitive behavioral therapy, but I tend to employ techniques from other modalities including dialectical behavior therapy, existentialism, narrative therapy, and others. I am also trained in EMDR and am able to use it in telehealth sessions.

I specialize in gender and sexuality, with over 7 years experience serving my LGBTQIA+ community. I feel strongly that shared experience helps people feel safe and seen in the therapy room. Using a relational approach, I believe that majority of therapeutic healing happens with human connection. This means I show up as human with my clients. You can expect accountability as well as empathy. I engage in the therapy conversation to allow reflection of your emotions. My specialization in queer matters is combined with treatment of complex trauma, mood, and personality disorders.

Through my years as mental health clinician, I have learned that change is not possible in isolation. It would be my privilege to assist in your change/growth process. I offer an eclectic approach to psychotherapy with an extensive background in the treatment of trauma.  My training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dr. Bruce Perry's work The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics has enabled me to specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD and many other diagnosis.

Beginning a therapeutic journey is incredibly courageous. With 20+ yrs experience working with all walks of life, the goal is to build collaborative relationships in a safe, confidential setting w/creative, compassionate strategies. I believe solution-focused, client-centered therapies are most effective.

I am passionate about working with women in their twenties or thirties, who are having a tough time navigating what can be an incredibly challenging and transitory chapter of their lives. My specialty lies in helping women get clear about who they are and what they want, and thus engineering a life that is deeply reflective of their most authentic selves. Career changes, friendship shifts, and relationship dynamics may all be things my client needs help navigating, and using a holistic and mindfulness-based approach, I help her find clarity, purpose, and a deep sense of integrity.
