Attachment-based Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Trauma and stress can impact us in ways that are difficult to understand at first. You know that you’re experiencing distress, but you can’t put your finger on exactly why. You’ve been through some really hard things, but you’ve always pushed through. Grin and bear it, right? That only works for so long.

I am so glad you're here. My name is Elizabeth and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. You have taken the hardest step in reaching out and I look forward to working with you and/or your child. I specialize in attachment based models, working with adopted children and families, adult adoptees, and neurodivergent populations. You are in control and we go at your pace. I want to provide a safe space for you to be authentically you or your child to explore patterns and coping skills, and create a life that brings joy.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment where you feel comfortable expressing whatever is on your mind without fear of judgment. I believe that you are the expert in your own healing, and I will work collaboratively with you to identify and reach your treatment goals. I use strengths- based approaches while incorporating evidence based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to stimulate the brain’s natural ability to heal and address problems stemming from trauma. I also employ mindfulness techniques to cultivate calm, balance, and insight.

Sometimes, experiences in life can make it challenging to create healthy relationships with the world around you. It's my belief that as social, curious beings, healthy and meaningful connection plays a crucial role in our ability to relate to the world around us and ourselves. If you would like to better understand how attachment and life experiences inform these relationships, you may be in the right place. Together we can explore and help facilitate healing or growth in relationships that may be causing you pain or discomfort.

Accepting new clients! There's a reason they say "It takes a village to raise a child." Let's be honest, raising little humans is one of life's biggest challenges. I proudly serve children (3-17 yrs old) who may be struggling with big emotions & behaviors, developmental transitions, or child/adult mental health issues. Using a playful, client-centered & attachment-based approach, I can begin to understand & communicate with your child. I can actively support & guide them as s/he/they make sense of their feelings and behaviors.

In-person sessions are available! Aren’t you tired of reading profiles? Well, hello there; I'm Shaun, supervised by Abbey Pelosi, LCSW-S, CST! Finding a therapist can be challenging; it took me almost a year to find the person I felt comfortable with enough to be my therapist. I looked through profile after profile, and they all gave me the same basic information; what type of therapy they practiced, where they went to school, and how long they've been working. They had great resumes, but all I wanted to know was who they were as a person. Am I able to trust this person with my deepest secrets? Do we vibe? Do we connect?

"Be transformed by the renewing of your mind," wrote the Apostle Paul. That is my ministry: helping people who feel lost, abandoned, anxious, traumatized, or confused find transformation. Don't let ability to pay stand in your way if you desire real change! I will help you.

Welcome! My name is Amber Johnson-Bryant, LCSW and my practice is called Discover You Therapy, PLLC. I provide psychotherapy services to TX residents via virtual sessions. It's not an easy thing to realize you need help. Oftentimes, as a society, we feel we're "weak" when seeking assistance. We tell ourselves to "be strong" and "figure it out". What happens though when this is no longer effective? Sometimes, we need outside intervention because life gets chaotic, complex and confusing. When this happens, it's not only ok but completely normal as this is a part of the human experience. After all, we aren't robots!

Are you a weary weirdo? Are you a high-achieving adult or teen who struggles with relationships, self-esteem, or burnout? Are you someone who is seeking answers to difficult questions?

I take a person-centered and existential approach to counseling - aspiring to help clients find meaning and direction in their lives and relationships. With 15 years of experience in career development and higher education, I have significant expertise in assisting adolescents and adults with college and career decision-making.

Because you’ve experienced difficult life circumstances—traumas, transitions, emotional and behavioral difficulties or dysregulation, perhaps painful relationships; you may feel weary, hopeless, helpless, anxious or afraid.

Through the process of identifying, expanding, and utilizing one’s personal strengths and skills, life-enhancing change and confidence is within reach.
