Hello! My name is Dr. Megan Smith. I am a National Board Certified, licensed professional counselor. I received my PhD in May 2020 in Counselor Education and supervision from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Processing trauma can often seem daunting, and can feel very lonely. Trying to find the right counselor can further intensify those feelings. It has been my honor and privilege to have worked, as a counselor, with clients who have survived trauma since 2017. I believe that if you want a counselor who can provide a safe environment to process trauma while encouraging healing, then you are in the right spot!

Are your relationships feeling strained due to spiritual trauma or different views? Do you feel depressed or anxious because you no longer feel like you have a place to belong? Many people, including LGBTQ+ people and their allies, have experienced some sort of religious trauma , spiritual deconstruction, or an overall disenchantment with church and religious institutions and find themselves disoriented and alone. Like you, my clients have struggled, sometimes feeling as if they can’t be their authentic selves, feeling pressured to be a people-pleaser and afraid of the consequences if they don’t. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I work with adults ages 19+. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I am a trauma based, and focused clinician.

I am curious of your lived experience. Although it may be the source of the pain you carry unseen, I believe in it we can also find your place to heal.

I am Diana Loesch, I'm new to Texas, and I LOVE it. I have recently opened a private practice, The Happiness Warriors, and it is an exciting (and scary) time! I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2006, and I have worked with folks with a variety of concerns-anxiety, depression, trauma , codependency, and chemical dependency, from diverse backgrounds, ages, and cultures. The common thread, across all issues, is the desire to live life more freely, to be happy, to be confident, to feel joy! And that is available to you. If you are ready to make a change, please reach out, I'd love to be part of your journey!

As individuals, we navigate through life with the tools that were handed to us through our family systems. Sometimes that's not enough to keep us on course for what we desire out of life. Relationships can be complicated, depression can be isolating, and anxiety can be crippling. Breaking free from the chains that mental health binds us to can be the most liberating feeling, why not try it out?

Welcome! I am currently accepting new clients throughout Texas who can meet virtually. I am recognized as a National Certified Counselor by the NBCC.

I also enjoy working with people who are recovering from religious trauma , spiritual abuse, and adverse religious experiences. I utilize a trauma -informed, person-centered approach to CBT in my practice, and I also have experience using EMDR to process severe trauma .

Having a baby is a huge life transition individually and for the family. Change can happen in an instant but navigating your personal transition in response to that change takes time so it is important to nurture yourself through pregnancy and postpartum. During the perinatal period, anxiety can feel overwhelming especially if you are having scary thoughts and difficulty regulating emotions. You are not alone and at times motherhood is hard. It's okay to make yourself a priority and be mindful of what you are feeling and needing. When we take care of ourselves, we are then better equipped to be there for others in our life.

I believe we all have the capability to grow and move into a place of wholeness. I aspire to walk alongside my clients as they grow and evolve; shedding unhelpful truths, memories, or behaviors you may have gathered along your journey. I can help you heal from old trauma wounds, gain insight about your inner world, learn to become an observer of your thoughts/emotions, and gain helpful tools to help you in those inevitable hard moments. Curiosity, self-empowerment & authentic human connection will be the cornerstone of our work. We'll laugh, we'll cuss, we'll gossip and we'll cry. Self-healing and wholeness lies within you!

Anxiety takes many forms: stress, worry, PTSD , panic, OCD, perfectionism. Anxiety is feeling so overwhelmed that you feel paralyzed to even try anything. Anxiety is that surge of pounding heart when you’re speaking in front of a group of people. Anxiety is feeling terrified to take a leap of faith due to fear of failure or getting hurt. I could go on and on... If you have experienced this, you are not alone. Contrary to popular belief, courage is NOT the absence of anxiety. Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. I help people overcome anxiety by enhancing courageous living, however that is defined by YOUR goals and values.
