Feminist Therapists in San Antonio, TX

All emotions (and pain) are valid. All thoughts are valid. There are reasons behind them. Let's explore them together to help you meet your goals and find a helpful perspective. I believe that everyone can improve themselves, find healing, and live a more fulfilling life with the right tools, honesty and openness, the willingness to change, and a non-judgmental, compassionate environment. I work hard to create this. I have Master's degrees in Counseling and Religious Studies; I can incorporate spiritual guidance into sessions if you would like. However, I have formed wonderful relationships with clients who are spiritual and non.

Schedule your free consultation & guidance session! Whether it is addiction, codependency, trauma, depression, or anxiety, nothing should get in your way of you living your best life! What has happened before today, what is happening now, and the worries of what may happen tomorrow can be a source of suffering for everyone. Take action and move towards your goals, dreams, passions, and best you. I have nearly a decade of experience helping individuals strive for the life that they know they should have, reach milestones, find their voice, and be the catalyst for change in their own lives. Every person can be the hero of their story!

Are you looking for a therapist who specializes in treating eating disorders in teens and young adults? What about someone who has worked extensively in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, and more? Through evidence-based techniques, I help clients unlock their emotions, face their fears, build confidence, and renew their sense of identity. Together, we will discover your motivation and strength to effect real, long-term change.

I am proud to work with clients whose brains are different, whose ways of looking at and interacting with the world are unique, and who are looking to untangle their authentic selves from the mask society pushed them to wear, learn to love/accept themselves as they are, and use this radical self-love to make the changes they want to see. Creative, brave, bold, spicy, innovative, intelligent, justice-oriented - these are the traits that were already there inside those wonderful human beings I serve, and one way or another the world tried to bury them. But the world didn't know they were seeds.

If you are felling burdened by life's challenges, choices, past trauma, or struggling with symptoms of mental health diagnoses, NOW is the time to have someone who is on your side, which means that sometimes you WILL be challenged, and sometimes you WILL be affirmed and your situations will be normalized. A lot of the times, though, this means that we will sit in those areas in between, which are often times messy, confusing, unsettling, and uncomfortable. You will have me with you, so you do not have to struggle through it all alone. We will embark on this journey hand in hand.

What is a survivor? Simply put, a survivor is someone who has experienced difficulty in their life. This could be the loss of a loved one, childhood neglect, multiple types of abuse, traumas, or violence. Whatever difficulty is being experienced, my role is to come alongside you, supporting you as you navigate your healing journey. Every individual is unique, so finding the tools, techniques, and therapeutic modalities to best fit for you is part of journey we will take together. I offer teletherapy services only at this time.

Welcome to Resiliency Trauma and Couples Therapy, PLLC. My name is Beatriz Alaniz and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas and also a Texas Board Approved Supervisor. I provide a warm and welcoming environment for clients from all walks of life with a focus on individuals who have experienced trauma and couples wanting to reconnect and heal.

I believe in the power of therapy to help people escape the grip of the trauma: I work with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, abusive relationships, rape and sexual violence, terrorism, and political violence.

I am a bi-iterate and bicultural psychotherapist that specializes on problems that affect the individual/couple/family when generations within the household have contrasting cultural understandings.

I have experience in many areas, including trauma, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, multigenerational family conflict, couples counseling, life transitions, chronic pain, and grief.

As a therapist, I’m excited to work together with you as you move in the direction of your goals for a flourishing, authentic life. I believe that the North Star of your wellbeing is within you, and that the self-understanding you excavate through therapy can be life-changing. I also believe that healing often happens in the context of relationship with others. So, as a counselor, one of the things I most prioritize is the strength and security of our therapeutic relationship. Along the way, you’ll find that my style is empathetic, warm, curious - and sometimes even humorous!
