Existential Therapists in San Antonio, TX

There is very little in this world worth having that will not cause us to struggle and struggling does not mean that there is anything wrong with us. I believe that there is nothing more fulfilling than making a connection that costs us a little bit of vulnerability but leaves both of us feeling a brighter sense of hope. I also believe that our agency can carry us out of whatever rut that other forces might have left us in and that persisting in simple changes can help us get unstuck. If you feel stressed, overwhelmed, confused, alone, sad, or frustrated, there may be things about yourself that you can learn from and resolve.

As an existential therapist, I believe you hold the answers within you no matter what obstacles you are trying to overcome. Through a collaborative effort, I tailor our sessions around your needs and goals. Enhancing well-being through an increased sense of resiliency, optimism, and personal control, in leu of the struggles you are experiencing. I believe in supporting and challenging you in your journey of self-exploration as you discover your authentic path in life.

Finding a therapist as a young professional is hard! If you’re LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or any other kind of “outsider”, it’s even harder. There's so much pressure to have it all together when you’re trying to build the life you want. When you don’t, it might feel like failure. I’m here to tell you that it’s not. I work with “outsider” young professionals who feel stressed, burnt out, depressed, anxious, or like they aren't enough and can’t keep up. Together we'll work to build your strengths, increase your self-awareness, and cultivate your self-compassion.

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!

Hello! I am a psychotherapist specializing in Women’s Mental Health, EMDR and Trauma. I am a firm believer that complete mental wellness incorporates both an integrative and holistic approach, emphasizing different modalities, and mind/body connection. I emphasize this precise integrative approach of overall wellness, including exercise and diet, that helps treat both mind and body.

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? Do you appreciate a warm and friendly but direct approach when handling challenges? If so, I may be the counselor for you. 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.

Counseling and therapy at its core is a non-judgmental, supportive, and growthmindset oriented space. Stepping into this soulspace can help you recalibrate your internal emotional landscape, enhance your self-esteem and self-concept, as well as improve the relationships in your life.

I would be honored to join you on this journey.

Meaning in life can be hard to find when we are struggling to just get through each day, and therapy can help.

Currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy only.

If you are reading this you have a definite purpose in mind, you are likely looking for someone to talk to who cares. You want someone to listen to you and to understand you. Inside, where no one sees, your soul is weary. You have tried your best to make life work, but you are exhausted from the pressure and the pretense. Maybe you are one of the countless men or women who have been subjected to terrible crimes against their souls through sexual abuse. If you are open to exploring your inner self and facing what is true, then we may be a good fit.

I find great meaning in being a therapist and am often inspired by the clients that I work with.

Therapy is a space for exploring problems in relation to personal history, relationships, and social, cultural, and environmental contexts. Together, we can develop insight about things that can be changed and skills to cope with things that cannot. I hope to become your partner in discovering meaning in daily life and your personal answers to life's existential uncertainties. I believe the most important ingredient in therapy is a relationship based on respect, authenticity, empathy, and humor. I appreciate every person's unique identity, culture, and experiences, and I hope to realize the distinct value of your perspective.

I am a licensed professional counselor, and I offer confidential counseling services for adults, families, and couples of all diversities, orientations, and backgrounds. I provide a comfortable, genuinely safe, non-judgmental environment where we work as a team to help you understand the context of your struggles and establish an appropriate therapy for your circumstances.

I specialize in working with codependent women and men. Codependency is not always related to addiction, it is often referred to as a self-love deficit disorder because most codependent clients have a difficult time identifying and focusing on their own needs. They often spend a lifetime being people-pleasers, but eventually feel anger and resentment for neglecting themselves and not receiving the appreciation/love they desire from others. Breaking free from codependency requires individuals to step away from their denial, to honor themselves, and to set boundaries. Then they can love and nurture others in a healthy manner.

People are constantly moving towards life or moving away from it. My goal is to help individuals gain the skills to recognize these shifts but there is no cookie-cutter approach to therapy. By maintaining respectful curiosity for their unique story clients' values are clarified and their realities expanded. Someone I really admire once said, "you don't know what you think until you've said it." However which way you may be feeling "stuck" in life I invite you to come figure it out with me.
