Strength-Based Therapists in 78666

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.

I am committed to providing a non-judgmental space for you to explore what is holding you back from living a full and vibrant life. As someone who has benefited from therapy myself, I take seriously the need to provide a safe and collaborative space for you to navigate life’s challenges. I would be honored to meet you wherever you are at in your life with empathy, understanding, humor, and unconditional positive support.

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.

Investing time into understanding yourself and developing yourself is one of the best decisions that you can make. Life can feel overwhelming at times and can be difficult to manage. Change can challenge our ability to navigate successfully. Thankfully, you don’t have to navigate life’s transitions alone. I'm passionate about working with my clients to gain an understanding of their past and present stressors, while discovering new tools for healing and growth. Together we can explore what gives your life purpose, hope and meaning and discover paths for living your best life.

Therapy shouldn't be an added stressor. I use humor and support along with cognitive and reality therapy. I focus primarily on depression, bipolar disorder and major mental illness.

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.

We all have pain, stress, and disappointments to work through - big things and small. When left unaddressed, they show up as anxiety, grief, anger, perfectionism or depression, limiting our ability to be at peace with ourselves and in our relationships. Maybe something in your life doesn't feel right, and has become too much to bear by yourself. You want to step into new ways of being in the world, free from the shame, fear and pain you have been carrying for so long. Taking the first step towards getting the help you need can feel incredibly vulnerable, and I promise to honor the strength it took to get here.

Hey Wild Souls! I’m Liberty, a local therapist in San Marcos on the Square. I’m not your typical therapist - I’m all about making therapy seem more like an adventure & maybe even fun. I’m a nature-based therapist which means I might invite you outside to discover things about yourself that you just can’t access in the office. If you prefer to meet inside I'm all about bringing the healing vibes of nature into our sessions. My philosophy is simple; nature is an amazing co-therapist!

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.

It’s hard to be vulnerable. Especially with someone you don’t know. I work hard to establish a therapeutic relationship built on trust. I provide a holistic approach exploring all parts of a person’s past and current circumstances so that the process can help in giving insight for healing and growth.

As a DBT therapist at Greater Texas DBT, I specialize in working with clients whose emotional experiencing interferes with achieving and/or maintaining goals. I celebrate the unique qualities of emotionally sensitive individuals and am passionate about collaborating with clients to "build lives worth living" by capitalizing on strengths while systematically addressing areas in which living with emotional intensity or detachment has become problematic. I offer services to clients of all ages with a focus on early identification and intervention with adolescents and young adults, and in providing support to their loved ones.

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.

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 believe that our most basic human instinct is to feel connected to others and to ourselves, and I will use evidence-based practices to help you improve these connections. I understand that fear, anxiety, grief, and pain can all block our paths towards connection and healing, and I realize how broken relationships can turn into life-long regret and hurt. My goal is to individualize each treatment plan to your personal needs and areas of growth by emphasizing strengths, unlearning negative beliefs, overcoming fears, and inspiring you to create new paths towards healing. I am fully trained in EMDR and ERP to better meet your needs.

I believe that we are influenced by social and biological forces, but our life is not fixed because of them. Together we will explore and discover skills and a mindset to cope, resolve, and/or transition into the new chapter that waits. Through our work together, my hope is that you will find meaning and grow from there, not allowing fences that others – or ones you have placed around yourself - to hold you back.

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.

I am a licensed social worker dedicated to fostering a safe and inclusive therapeutic space for individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you are grappling with issues such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts, or life transitions, I am here to build a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship tailored to your needs. My practice serves clients aged 14+, and I welcome teens with a trauma-informed lens and solution-focused strategies.

Life is a Journey with many ups and downs. We never know what will happen even though we spend time trying to plan away our pain and control everything and everyone around us. If you find that your life's Journey is not where you want it to be or, you are experiencing stress and facing the pain of past traumas, I am here to help. If you want to work toward a life that brings you joy and fulfillment, I can assist you in finding your inner peace.

Just as the moon passes through different phases, so do we. Some phases are darker and some brighter than others, as is life. A new moon represents new beginnings, growth, rebirth, and renewed energy. I started practicing as Luna Nueva Mental Health, LLC, so I could accompany clients on their journeys toward healing, understanding, and coping with each new phase, change, and season in life. I offer psychotherapy as well as somatic thearpy utilizing training in Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting.
