Transgender Therapists in San Antonio, TX

Are you looking for assistance with navigating your gender journey? I work with a variety of presenting concerns, however my specialization is working with trans or gender diverse individuals. I utilize a gender affirmative approach when working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am a GEI Certified Member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and routinely follow the WPATH Standards of Care in my clinical practice. I am able to provide local and national resources to assist you and your loved ones with support while exploring your gender expression and identity.

It takes courage to start therapy. You've probably tried a number of ways to do this yourself. You want to feel better, more in control and not be so bothered by certain people, things, and past events. That is exactly what I am trained and experienced in helping people do.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Army Veteran with over 12 years of experience working with the military population, dependents, and veterans. I work collaboratively with clients to provide individualized treatment that is evidence based and empirically founded. By learning positive coping skills, improving insight and modifying thoughts and behaviors, clients make meaningful changes while being active participants in their therapy. I value the therapeutic relationship and seek to empower individuals with empathy and knowledge.

Hello! I'm Susan, a former Marine and native Texan, who has a passion for providing the gift of therapy to others. I’ve worked for over seven years with adults with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Usher Syndrome and other disabilities in various capacities. I love working with Neuro-Diverse people, as a Neuro-diverse person myself. As a veteran, I also enjoy working with veterans. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and humanistic approach. I understand that my clients are the experts on themselves, although I may be able to offer some insight.

I value your right to self-determination and will work closely with you to identify and clarify your goals. I will begin therapy where you are and move at a pace that you are comfortable with. This is not to say that there won't be times when I will challenge your thinking, offer new perspective and push for change, but I will always attempt to do so in a constructive, thoughtful and supportive manner.

I view therapy with my clients as a teamwork process of understanding YOUR perspective & concerns. My priority is for us to find YOUR best way of managing & dealing in a healthy, effective manner. I offer the level of service I would want my loved ones to receive. My therapeutic approach includes acceptance, non judgement, and creating an environment where clients feel understood, learn to understand themselves and their situations better. -Couples or family counseling offered to established clients on a case-by-case basis only-

*****As of November 1st, I re-located to a new office across town.’Please forgive any inconvenience talking to staff or setting up an appointment. We have wonderful office staff at my new location and they are very helpful. Please remember that one of my strengths is in helping my clients quickly become comfortable and strengthening their hope for a positive outcome..... even if you have to wait longer than you anticipated! My style is informal and your comfort is important to me as we deal with difficult, often painful subjects.

My approach to helping is based on my client's perspective rather than my own. I contend that appreciating and respecting the client's experience for what it is, is essential to productive therapeutic growth. I view counseling as a highly personal and subjective experience, where developing an empathic, connected and trusting relationship is imperative; it is through the safety of this connection that clients can work toward positive change. While I have had extensive experience working with a wide variety of clients, my specializations include women's issues (including domestic violence and trauma), relationships, GLBTQI issues, pregnancy/infertitility issues, internet addiction and couples work.

Meaning in life can be hard to find when we are struggling to just get through each day, and therapy can help. If you feel empty, overwhelmed or lost, please reach out because you don't have to go through this without support. Let's normalize getting therapy! While I work with many issues, I specialize in mood disorders, adult 'giftedness' /GT issues, polyamory and relationship problems of all types. If you have felt othered or marginalized before, I want to assure you I offer affirming care and operate from an intersectional, inclusive point of view. Currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy only.

Accepting new clients. I specialize in combat or sexual assault related PTSD, childhood physical/sexual abuse, sexual identity, depression, anxiety, blended families & phase of life issues. I assist U.S. Veterans and First Responders with concerns related to service/deployment. I also have experience working with LGBTQIA2S+ concerns. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental, supportive, safe environment that protects and respects your privacy.

I specialize in working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and also people who identified as Gifted/Talented or academically gifted. I have experience counseling people though all stages of gender questioning, discovery, and transition. I counsel people with gender and/or sexuality issues (such as coming out, family issues, relationship problems, HRT support), and I am sex positive and knowledgable about polyamory, consensual nonmonogamy, and alternative lifestyles. I work with adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults. Sensitive, intuitive and empathetic, and open to special and unique gifts. We can talk about whatever!

As a nonbinary trans guy and gender affirmative therapist, I know how scary it is to interact with providers who are poorly informed about issues facing the trans and nonbinary community. Having a clinician who is informed and affirmative can make a huge difference. I specialize in helping individuals navigate their gender journey and provide support to the LGBTQIA+ community. Since we are more than our gender or sexuality, I also work with a variety of other issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, general life transitions, self esteem, assertiveness and boundary setting, to name a few.

I know life can at times feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate on your own. I am so happy that you are taking the step to begin working through whatever concerns you may have. When we meet, I hope that you will find a safe place where we can explore these concerns and develop a plan that will have you living your best life. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to live your best life. My style is not always “easy”, I will sometimes push you past your comfort zone, but I will always be empathetic and patient.

Do you feel stuck? Do you struggle to break free of deep-rooted patterns, negative emotions and/or unhealthy thinking that no longer works? I help individuals navigate their life journey and overcoming obstacles that prevent change. I work with a variety of presenting concerns, however my specialization is with trauma and individuals who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, specifically trans or gender diverse individuals.
