Female Therapists in Atascosa County, TX

I have been a counselor for over 20 years. I have been a clinical director of psychiatric facilities, a college counselor, a private practitioner, and a clinical supervisor of counseling interns. I have a master's degree in education with a concentration in guidance and counseling and a doctoral degree in Ph.D. in psychology. I have experience counseling in areas such as women's issues, aging, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and domestic violence. I work with teens and adults of all ages. Goals are personal, and I aim to help people reach their individualized goals. I believe all have strengths upon which they can build to achieve

I am a Licensed Clinical social worker, currently licensed in the state of Texas. I am a native Texan and live in the rural south. I have a passion for working with children and families. I worked for Child Protective Services for almost a decade and have since worked for various agencies targeting the mental health needs of children and adolescents. I have experience working with the Juvenile justice system as a detention officer and a therapist. I have experience with CPS court systems as well as working with victims of abuse and/or neglect.

Most of my clients are teens and adults experiencing anxiety, school issues, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, or career dissatisfaction. Using a solution-focused approach, clients make changes to increase their satisfaction in their daily lives through committed action between sessions. I'm also certified in ADHD Assessment & Treatment and coach teens, parents, and professionals learning to do life in a way that is most effective in meeting their unique needs.

I work with individuals/couples/families seeking to restore balance and connection within their lives and interpersonal relationships. Unhealthy relationships can cause both emotional and physical stress, whereas healthy relationships can enhance and improve overall well-being. I have trained in a range of modalities in order to provide tailored treatment plan that can be integrated into your daily lives. I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate and supportive environment in which you can safely explore and work through emotions, thoughts and beliefs that may be keeping you from moving forward and living a fulfilling life.

As a therapist, I believe that counseling services are a means for those in need, to seek professional, impartial and nonjudgmental assistance in a safe and comfortable environment

Society tells us what to feel, enjoy, experience, and what is beautiful. Screw societal norms and expectations. Let's break those barriers and create new norms. Want to try kink, poly, or open marriage? Great! Let's find the best way to do it! Feel that panic growing during confrontation? So do I. Let's find healthy ways to reduce it. Having relationship problems? We all do, no one is perfect; but we can learn to communicate better. Overweight? Me too! I'm beautiful and so are you!

My focus is to work on what you want to work on. I trust that you know yourself better than I do and as a result my job is to help you get to where you are going or want to be. My job is to provide you the psychoeducation, coping skills and encouragement to meet your goals. I tell all my clients that I am not around forever but just for right now. And there will come a point where you have the tools necessary to no longer need professional assistance.

Feel like you're getting lost in your own thoughts? Are you worried your situation won't get any better?

We want to help you get to a point where you're not just getting through each day, but actually living an anxious-free life.
