Racial Identity Therapists in San Antonio, TX
Hi, I’m Swapomthi. Beginning therapy can feel like a leap into the unknown,but it can also be one of the most meaningful steps you take toward healing and growth. I believe that therapy is not about “fixing” you, it’s about walking with you as you rediscover your own strength, clarity, and balance.
I’m an LPC with years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s many transitions. I’m also a San Antonio native, mother of three, first-generation American, and someone who has known loss,and all of those roles have shaped how I show up in the therapy room: grounded, compassionate and real.

You've spent years being the responsible one. The high achiever, the one who holds everything together. You've followed the blueprint, met the expectations, and checked every box. But lately, success feels less like an accomplishment and more like a weight you can't put down. On the outside, everything looks fine. On the inside, you're depleted. If you're a high-achieving Asian American navigating burnout, perfectionism, anxiety, or people-pleasing, this is a space where your experience doesn't need to be explained or justified. As a second-generation Asian American therapist, I understand the unspoken rules many of us live by.

Be very careful of the narratives that shape your identity, as they can ultimately define your reality. Narratives have a powerful influence on how we interpret our experiences and guide our actions. Unfortunately, an unhelpful narrative can limit our choices, obscure alternative options, and impede personal growth, leading to a sense of insurmountable problems. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the stories we tell ourselves and reshape them to live a more liberated and meaningful life.

I view therapy as sacred work—a space where healing, truth, and liberation unfold. I am passionate about helping individuals heal from generational and historical trauma, recognizing how systemic harm and inherited pain shape identity, relationships, and self-worth. My approach honors each person’s spiritual resilience, even when buried by survival. I am especially committed to supporting BIPOC clients in reclaiming their voices within professional, medical, and institutional spaces, fostering confidence, grounding, and self-trust.

If you grew up balancing multiple cultures, expectations, languages, or identities, you already know this truth: it’s complicated.
I specialize in supporting second-generation adults and others who live at the intersection of culture, family, identity, and modern life. Many of my clients feel stuck between who they were taught to be and who they’re becoming. If you're carrying guilt, pressure, or self-doubt that doesn’t fully belong to you, let's name those dynamics clearly and without judgement.

You might notice yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns—overthinking after conversations, pulling away when others get emotionally close, or feeling disconnected even when you're not alone. You want deeper, more secure connections, but something keeps getting in the way. In our work together, we slow down and bring curiosity to what’s happening in the moment—your thoughts, emotions, and internal blocks. Together, we uncover how these patterns developed and how earlier experiences may still be shaping how you connect, handle conflict, and navigate closeness and vulnerability today.

You are not alone, and you can get through this. Many of my clients come to me believing their feelings are too overwhelming, their traumas too painful to confront, or that it’s not safe to fully be themselves. Some have worked with multiple therapists and felt like they “didn’t get anywhere.”
My work focuses on helping teens and young adults overcome the barriers that prevent them from becoming the people they truly want to be. I have extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of psychological challenges, as well as guiding them through emotional growth and identity development on the path to adulthood.

I am a firm believer that humans are doing the best with what they know at any given time. I'm also very aware that our contexts, both small-scale within our living situations, and large-scale within our society, shape how we feel and what we experience. My job is to help you better know yourself so you can live more aligned with your values and your goals while also creating space for the impact your contexts have on you. My therapeutic approach is dynamic and strength-based. I will help you find repetitive dynamics within your life and assist you in making the mental and behavioral changes you want to see.

You struggle to focus, feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, and then avoid them until the pressure is unbearable. You find yourself hyperfocusing on a particular activity, but later move on from it or drop it altogether. You lose things, miss appointments, or forget what you meant to say, then you remember and feel frustrated with yourself for forgetting. It can feel like your potential isn't matching your results, and you're always trying to catch up. You overwork to keep the racing thoughts under control, and then you burn out. If you're ready to work with your brain, not against it, you're in the right place.
