Chronic Illness Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Hi there! My name is Jacy. As a licensed clinical social worker and registered play therapist, I have found my passion in working with children and families. My therapeutic approach utilizes a strengths-based perspective and honors each child’s unique gifts and needs. My expertise is working with children (ages 3 and up) and providing parenting training and support. I serve children with an array of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief/loss, chronic/terminal illness, as well as highly sensitive children.

In a world that spins faster everyday, sometimes we need help slowing down. Maybe you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, alone - even ashamed at the thought of burdening others as you encounter old patterns & new problems alike. Perhaps you're skeptical about therapy or believe your problems aren't legitimate. You may have concrete issues you wish to tackle, or maybe you'd like to do some healthy exploration of your identity and overall needs. Whether your emotional pain is recent or distant, your thoughts and feelings are welcome when we sit down together. My available services include psychotherapy and psychological testing.

My working experiences have offered me a wide range of opportunities to counsel couples, families, children, adolescents, and adults. I have knowledge in many areas including trauma, PTSD, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, self-esteem, multigenerational challenges, sexual assault, human trafficking, life transitions, and grief. experience working with members of the queer identity through all stages of their identity exploration and acceptance. I am also informed in various relationship practices including monogamous and alternative styles such as polyamory, kink, long-distance, and open relationships.

I strongly believe in the power of transformation and ability to heal. As a therapist, my goal is to develop meaningful relationships with my clients in an effort to create an emotionally safe space. I am passionate about offering support to those who are looking to work on self improvement or having difficulty adjusting to life changes, experiencing a loss of any kind, infertility, divorce, chronic health/pain condition or caring for a loved one with a disability. Counseling can offer you a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings as well as empower you to learn more about yourself.

Hello fellow traveler! My practice is grounded in trauma informed care but inspired by the expansion of human awareness. I am a deeply sensitive and curious therapist. I love to use metaphors, poetic improvisation, archetypes, body movement, meditation, and lots of humor in my practice. I am deeply touched and inspired by topics related to feminism, de-colonization, psychedelic therapies, LGBTQIA+ community, the Latino movement, religious cult survivors, and the non-monogamous experience. I strongly believe in relational therapy, which means that I foster a warm and safe space where people feel free to be who they are with me!

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.

My clients are tired of being a "survivor". They have begun to ask, "When they can just exist and stop fighting?". This question is just the beginning of our work together.

I am a Bilingual (Spanish/ English) therapist who understands how the daily stressors of life: work, relationships, children, family and financial responsibilities can become overwhelming. As a therapist with over 10 years experience, I work with my clients and meet them where they are in their current situation. My role is to help them reach the goals they aspire to in their lives providing a safe, trusting and empathetic therapeutic environment.

I believe all human beings strive to create fulfilling lives with meaningful connections to others. Having a greater understanding of our strengths and weaknesses enables us to make better decisions that lead to living the life we imagine for ourselves. Through therapy, I assist clients in gaining insight into themselves through increasing coping and self-awareness. We will examine and identify values/strengths in order to make realistic goals and movement towards the life you want.

If life feels overwhelming, chaotic or exhausting we are here to help you lighten that load. Success is not built on success alone, it's built on finding the resiliency and strength to get up after we fall, and the strength to move forward and not give up. When something doesn't work out, we sometimes find ourself standing in place trying to understand and make sense of what happened. We are here to help you move forward. We would love to talk to you about ways to navigate through life's challenges. We strive to make it easy to access help so you regain the skills needed to overcome challenges and live a fulfilling life.
