Therapists in North Central, San Antonio, TX

You are not alone! When trying to cope with life’s ups and downs it can be helpful to seek counsel from one who can remain objective. As a Licensed Professional Counselor I work to facilitate: marriage * relationships * personal growth * life transitions * grief/loss * mental health diagnosis * substance abuse recovery * parenting the special needs child

I am an encouraging therapist who is passionate about helping others reach their goals and experience hope and healing. My therapy approach is rooted in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have found this approach very effective with a multitude of issues. CBT is strongly supported in the professional literature as having verifiable evidence of success. As a Christian, I like the emphasis CBT has on the importance of building truth into our lives and how important it is to speak truth to ourselves.

The connection between client and therapist is the main factor necessary for successful therapeutic change. I will help you clarify essential goals, that once achieved will lead to you firing me. By being "client-centered", our sessions will be led by you and I will walk with you during your journey, adding evidence-based information, posing insight-oriented questions and helping present relative information in a novel context (due to my being unbiased). "Firing" your therapist means you feel confident to utilize new skills to better manage life:)

"Our primary focus is Client centered. We believe Counseling is about the Client and not the Counselor. We help Clients develop skills collaboratively to alleviate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other symptoms. Omni Layne Counseling has both male and female counselors".

On our journey through life we all face challenges. We may be dealing with grief issues, relationship issues, or need help with communicating more effectively. We may feel overwhelmed, anxious, trapped, confused, alone, fearful, depressed, frustrated, stuck, burdened, and unhappy. I have always been fascinated by how people change, learn, and grow. I believe that given the right context, such as a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment, people can make the changes they need to make to live a happier, more productive and positive life. Given the right tools, everyone has the capacity to engineer their life in a healthier way.

I am the founder of Artvango, a nonprofit org offering expressive forms of therapy to children who have experienced challenging times. We have trauma trained therapist that use various forms of expressive therapy to help children self-express and begin the healing journey. Parents are also included in the therapy process and educated on the effects of trauma. Our goal is to help the whole family not just the child.

I have worked with anyone and everyone in some way or form in the time I have been practicing. I want clients to feel free to be able to understand that the work is all theirs and I am just a person who facilitate growth.

I believe that everyone has the capacity to find happiness and self-fulfillment, and counseling can be an essential tool in that journey. My goal is for each of my clients to feel safe, understood, supported, and hopeful. Whether you are dealing with past trauma, struggling with depression, having a family conflict, or dealing with another life stressor, processing your thoughts and feelings with a licensed professional can help spark positive change in your life. You may know exactly what you want to work on or just have a sense that you need to talk to someone. Either way, reaching out is the first step.

Life is much more complicated than most of us expected! As a Christian, I share the same dilemmas as you. We are all looking for answers in a world full of obstacles. Counseling should be practical, so I meet my clients exactly where they are in their lives, but armed with my Christian perspective and 30+ years of experience working with adults and children. Counseling with me is warm and practical, and because I have enjoyed raising three children of my own, counseling is often fun. After all, as we Christians understand, love is at the core of most solutions.
