Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Hello there! I hope to provide you a safe and sound environment to be able to learn, analyze, and collaboratively work together to find solutions for your depression, anxiety, trauma, and life events that are causing you to lose sleep at night, insomnia, and/or sleep disorders by using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other methods in order to get a good night sleep. I will listen to your concerns and interact with you to find solutions. I am a very resourceful therapist with many years of experience as well as life experiences. I am fluent in Spanish and can provide counseling efficiently to bicultural individuals.

As a therapist, I believe in empathy. Unconditional positive regard is high on my list of priorities when interacting with clients of mine. I believe that we are all, more alike than different. I seek to rid stigmas and to do away with labels. We are greater, together! I seek to make therapy feel easy peasy! I take an eclectic approach when dealing with each client because everyone is different. At times, I blend treatment modalities in an effort to meet clients where they are, while finding what works. Easy dialogue is the vehicle that makes things cohesive.

*** www.EsperanzaCounselingSA.com *** Esperanza Counseling Services offers evening & weekend sessions in English and/or Spanish. I enjoy working with people of all ages: 3 - 100. The purpose of counseling is to instill hope, provide a safe place for people to voice their feelings and concerns, while empowering them with tools to improve their lives. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their age or circumstances. I have many years of experience working with children who have attention deficits and hyperactivity (ADHD). I worked in public schools for 8 years; 4 of which as a Parent Educator.

Hello, please click on my website to schedule a free consult. I worked in the behavioral health field for several years before beginning my career as a counselor. Before that I was a stay-at-home mom to two boys. My journey as a counselor began because I wanted to help guide people in managing their complex feelings and emotions, so that they could experience a peace of mind and healthier outcomes in their interpersonal lives. I want my clients to feel safe opening up to me. I am empathetic, open-minded and inclusive. I honor all colors, cultures, identities, and preferences, and I believe it takes strength and courage to seek help.

I have over 10 years of experience providing mental health care to a wide variety of populations, from children to adults. I use an array of different psychotherapy approaches, specific techniques, and interventions, from modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing. I also utilize the corrective, healing power of the interpersonal process in psychotherapy. I enjoy getting to know my clients and finding a style and approach that works best for their needs during our time together in the therapeutic relationship.

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

Life can be hard. Whether it is transitioning from one phase of life to another or financial and work stressors there is always something that we have to learn to cope with and it can be very easy to start feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I believe every experience in life has a purpose. Nothing happens by chance. Failure, conflict or ending a relationship isn't meant to break us but to provide valuable lessons for us to learn, grow, gain insight, become stronger and live happier. I can support and guide you in your search for inner strength needed to regain your sense of control, purpose and joy.
