Lesbian Therapists in Olmos Park, TX

Greetings! I'm Susan, a proud former Marine and native Texan with a heartfelt dedication to providing therapeutic support. I've also had the privilege of working extensively with adults facing various challenges, including Intellectual Developmental Disabilities, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Usher Syndrome, and more. As a Neuro-diverse individual myself, I have a special affinity for working with Neuro-Diverse individuals, along with veterans.

My name is Shanna Dominguez and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. You may be experiencing worry, fear, anxiety, depression, or a variety of other emotions. Good news, those emotions can be managed, I believe there are two experts in the room: You are the expert of your life and I am the clinical expert. I have had the privilege of working with adults, couples, and adolescents. I use a variety of techniques and theories to guide my work with you depending on what fits your needs. I specialize in CBT and DBT methods. As humans, we not only want to feel understood, but we want to understand ourselves & why we do the things we do.

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 intent within my practice is create a safe space for all of your experiences. I have been dedicated to providing community mental health interventions for the past 10 years. I have extensive training and experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy, stage-based trauma therapy, LGBTQIA-affirmative therapy, and couples and family therapy. I provide an integrative theoretical approach and I believe in utilizing creative modalities for my clients. For those in the San Antonio area, I do offer walk and talk in person sessions. Please feel free to email me for a consult to learn more about this modality.

I would like to support your journey of finding a stronger connection to your true authentic self by exploring your concerns, strengths, limitations, background, beliefs, desires and goals. You are an expert on yourself and with my support we can facilitate a safe trusting space with curiosity and compassion. I provide individual and couples therapy from a trauma informed, anti-oppression, inclusive space. I support clients navigate through sexuality/sexual wellness, relationships, anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and grief issues.

I view counseling through a cultural lens, this means I focus on all the dimensions of your lived experience as an individual who interacts with the world around them. My goal as a counselor is to help you acknowledge and consider your cognitive, emotional, relational, spiritual, motivational, and aspirational facets. It is my hope to support your self-healing journey by facilitating a deeper understanding of your worldview perspective, connections, and goals.

My therapy style is friendly and genuine, and I use humor and honesty to provide my clients with emotional support throughout their healing journey. I enjoy working with teens and adults who are often perceived as different, have trouble fitting in, or feel isolated and stressed by the demands of daily living. I act as a supportive guide to help clients reconnect with themselves and relearn how to recognize and honor their needs. Together we will find strategies to provide you with a sense of ease while navigating life with more strength and confidence.

Have you ever found yourself at a crossroad where you are attempting to better yourself and receive push back or criticism for those around you? Have you ever felt crazy for trying something new yet yearn for a better future for yourself and family? If you are in need of a boost of confidence and support through this process; I am here to help. My whole heart harmonizes with those who have pushed back with their faith, or had to escape outright and are attempting to acclimate in a world that does not feel embracing.

I have experience working with various issues including but not limited to trauma, substance abuse, anger management, physical abuse, adjustment issues, and divorce. I assist clients in overcoming obstacles that are challenging to overcome in their lives. Additionally, I collaboratively work with clients to improve their overall functioning in their daily lives. I believe in meeting clients where they are in life, while facilitating an environment for change. I am an active listener who is attentive to clients' and their needs and wants. I believe the client is the expert in his or her life.

I help you gain control over difficult issues QUICKLY to feel happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. First, we need the right understanding of the issue ... then I use research-based approaches to maximize benefit in as few sessions as possible. Many of my clients are high-functioning, working professionals who are experiencing symptoms they just can't shake - we work together to solve that and get you back to feeling good in your life. Even just 1 session of good therapy should feel very helpful.

It takes courage to start therapy. You've probably tried a number of ways to do this yourself. You want to feel better, more in control and not be so bothered by certain people, things, and past events. That is exactly what I am trained and experienced in helping people do.

Dr. Nix is located in Alamo Heights as well as in Oak Hills. She has worked as a clinical psychologist for over 20 years. She completed her internship and Fellowship at State University of New York and at the Post Graduate Center for Mental Health in Manhattan. For the past 10 years she worked with the military population, specializing in combat trauma. She has extensive training in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy as well as many other modalities. Dr. Nix also offers a non-12-step approach to substance abuse that emphasizes the power of choice and freedom from destructive notions of powerlessness and disease.

Life can get tough and overwhelming. It can feel like being submerged after a rough wave. That’s where I come in - to help you navigate the waves. As a solution-orientated therapist I am interested in exploring your strengths and resources and how we can utilize them to build solutions. I believe a positive connection is important for the therapeutic process to be beneficial, which is why I value creating a safe space built on collaboration, warmth, and understanding.

You have many choices when it comes to picking a counselor/therapist, but what is the most important thing to consider when choosing? Does the person appear to be kind? Do they have the qualifications to serve you? Does he/she make you feel comfortable and ease the anxiety you might be feeling regarding sharing such personal information so quickly? How does the office environment feel (telehealth or in the office)? More importantly, how quickly do you feel your exact problem is being addressed?

Our minds can be real asshats sometimes, and this often makes us sad, annoyed, frustrated, even down right depressive. Using a mindful, relational, somatic and holistic perspective with psychoeducation, humor and sometimes silliness, I will work collaboratively with you to help you discover the strengths that will allow you to overcome self-sabotaging behavior or any other inner obstacle, and to regain a sense of wholeness and meaning. Only offering telehealth services for the state of Texas and I don't accept insurance.
