Attachment-based Therapists in San Antonio, TX

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?

If you're reading this, you're likely feeling overwhelmed, shame, or alone due to trauma or problems in your sex life or relationship. Perhaps you feel confused about your sexual identity or aren’t accepted and celebrated for who you are. Maybe you are stuck in a negative loop of excessive porn use or a compulsive desire for sex that is ruining your relationships and your life. Together, we'll navigate the parts of your life you've buried deep out of shame and pain. I know it can be terrifying to plunge into these depths alone. I'll be by your side every step of the way, offering a loving and non-judgmental space.

Are you looking for a change but feel stuck? Maybe you're looking to break certain patterns or need guidance on how to cope with stress, anxiety, or depression. Perhaps you have reached a point in your life where you have lost your identity, and need help connecting back to yourself. I am passionate about helping people create a more fulfilling life. A life where they can feel like themselves again.

It's not easy to ask for help. Maybe you've shared your situation with close friends or family and received support and advice, but things aren't really getting better. Maybe you've been hesitant to seek out a therapist. The fact that you're here now is a demonstration of your commitment and dedication to your own personal growth and your relationships. Whether you're experiencing anxiety or depression, or you're looking for a relationship, healing from a relationship that's ended, or are in a relationship you want to strengthen or repair, you're in the right place.

You are the expert of your life, I am just a therapist that can help you find your path. No one talks about it but therapy can be hard. Therapy involves us discussing our emotions, acknowledging what we are feeling, and making active steps towards change. Thank you for taking steps towards taking care of you. My goal as a clinician is to provide a safe space that will empower you to be yourself.

As a mental health counselor, I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth. Through my experience, I have facilitated group therapy sessions, conducted individual counseling sessions, and implemented evidence-based interventions to help clients overcome various mental health issues.

I believe it is my life’s work to be therapist and am inspired by the clients that I work with. I use an existential and relational approach with the majority of my clients as I believe we heal through connection. I have extensive experience counseling individuals, veterans, couples, and family members in many different areas such as addiction, PTSD, LGBTQ issues and trauma.

You hate when people ask your age. “Oh, almost the big 3-0,” they tease playfully. But you’re not laughing. Every time you think about turning thirty, you’re gripped by panic. There was so much you wanted to accomplish by this point, and you feel like you’ve done none of it. Worse still, the clock seems to be forever speeding up and squeezing the time you have left. You scroll through your socials as a distraction, only to see your peers thriving with new houses, exciting jobs, and loving relationships. Meanwhile, your own life feels worthless by comparison. Time feels like it’s running out, and you don’t know how to move forward.

Hey there! I’m Shane Chance, a licensed professional counselor right here in San Antonio, TX. Why did I become a therapist, you ask? Well, it’s simple: I absolutely love helping people navigate life’s twists and turns. I’m a firm believer in the incredible resilience of individuals and their capacity to bounce back, even when when things get tough. When it comes to therapy, I’m all about embracing the unique qualities of each person and situation. That’s why I’m an eclectic therapist. I understand that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and the therapy I offer reflects that belief.

"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.

Whether it is your first time in therapy or a you are a lifelong therapy fan, I strive to make everyone feel comfortable and accepted in my (virtual) office. In therapy sessions, I am flexible to client’s needs both in their goals and how they want to get there. I have some clients who prefer to be more structured and practice certain skills while I have other clients who prefer to make the session feel more like a free-flowing conversation. Some issues that I speciailze in are PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, veteran's issues, and life adjustment issues.

Everyone experiences life in their own unique way and what may be a breeze for some, may be a challenge for others. That is why I choose to practice in an eclectic manner, drawing from various counseling techniques and theories to find what works for you. Whether you are experiencing depression, coping with anxiety, facing one of life's many challenges, or struggling with another mental health concern. Together, we will work to alleviate your presenting concerns and symptoms, and equip you with the necessary tools and skills needed to overcome any challenge.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true self and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

Welcome! Congratulations on investing in your mental health and well-being. I encourage you to be selective in the person you are entrusting with your mental health, shop around, ask questions, and choose wisely. I am a bilingual psychologist who treats all ages but I specialize in systemic therapy( i.e. couples and families), adolescents, and police and public safety personnel.

We all encounter moments when the weight of our experiences, emotions, or circumstances feels overwhelming. It's during these times that having a safe, nurturing space can make all the difference. I want you to know that such a space exists, and it's within the realm of therapy. Therapy is more than just a place to talk; it's a sanctuary for your well-being. It's a dedicated space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a non-judgmental, confidential, and supportive environment. Here, I will serve as your trusted ally to guide you through challenges faced in your life.

I have hope when working with people who are going through intense emotion such as of anger, anxiety, or depression. I'm optimistic when working with folks who experience this because I believe in strengths-based counseling, and I've witnessed many people grow their strength to be able to process those emotions. Though the emotion difficulties can be similar across people I work with, the reasons each person feels this way are unique, and I want to hear your story.
