Therapists in San Antonio, TX

I'm about love, self-compassion, radical acceptance, embracing failure, trusting your innate wisdom and starting over. I fundamentally believe in every person's ability to recover from trauma, addiction and life, in general. Experience has taught me that no one is really avoiding anything. When people accuse you of not dealing with something, what they are really saying is you aren't dealing with it the way they want you to. From my perspective, if you wake up every morning and breathe in and out all day long, you're dealing with your stuff. A tiny bit of intention is all it takes to begin healing.

*** www.EsperanzaCounselingSA.com *** Esperanza Counseling Services offers evening & weekend sessions in English and/or Spanish. I enjoy working with people of all ages: 3 - 100.

Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect regardless of their age or circumstances.

My diverse background and down to earth nature is a key element in my counseling style. I believe that for counseling to be most effective it must be done in an environment that is comfortable to my clients. If I can find a "medium" that they can relax in, they are more open about sharing their experiences with me". My counseling expertise is working with clients of domestic violence, sexual assault, recovery, PTSD, anxiety disorders, foster families/children, adjustment disorders and LGBT community. I am trained in EMDR, Brain Spotting and Experiential modes of therapy which I combine with other traditional modes of therapy.

It is my privilege and gift to empower couples and individuals as they navigate life.

Counseling provides a means to healing. I specialize in treating clients who are at least 6 years old through adults.

Issues for others may include but not limited to building coping skills for parenting, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, divorce/separation, teen pregnancy, domestic violence, physical/sexual abuse; sexual assault, P.T.S.D., relationship issues, communication skills, and conflict resolution. I work with youth and adults individually, as couples, and/or families.

Do you feel like you’re watching the days go by without really living? Perhaps you sense that God has a purpose in store for you, but you don’t know what steps to take next. I work with adults who are looking to do more than just overcome their symptoms–I’m here to help you on a journey towards more freedom and wholeness in your life. I believe that we should treat people how we want to be treated, and that applies in therapy just as it does in life. My role is to accept you as you are while you work towards finding and walking the path you were always meant to.

Sometimes life feels like it gets so big that we feel that getting a solid grip on it is impossible. I work with the individual to help them see that the problem is not as big as it may seem. We work together, by using their tools and strengths, to break it down to a manageable size. This allows the client to create a better way of coping with the issues.

I provide individual counseling and premarital counseling for couples using the Prepare and Enrich Program by David Olsen.

I am from New Mexico and was raised on a farm on the Navajo Reservation before joining the US Army in 2000. After discharging honorably in 2012, I moved to San Antonio, Texas; whereby, I received my Master’s Degree from Wayland Baptist University in Counseling in 2015. I have been a licensed psychotherapist since 2019. I hold a variety of professional licensures: Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have had a variety of experiences with families, couples, and individual work.

As a therapist, I believe in empathy. Unconditional positive regard is high on my list of priorities when interacting with clients of mine. I believe that we are all, more alike than different. I seek to rid stigmas and to do away with labels. We are greater, together! I seek to make therapy feel easy peasy! I take an eclectic approach when dealing with each client because everyone is different. At times, I blend treatment modalities in an effort to meet clients where they are, while finding what works. Easy dialogue is the vehicle that makes things cohesive.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depressed or anxious? Do you have personal issues affecting your life (e.g. anger issues, women's issues, self esteem, or health lifestyle changes)? There is hope and you can improve the quality of your life by boosting your mindset, learning new coping skills, and focusing on making change happen. In therapy, we will process what has happen or what is currently happening and focus on how we can make it better.

We believe that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected; we will help you take inventory of your mental health, physical health, and emotional health to find what works for you. When working towards a goal, people struggle with balance; they stop drinking, but start binge eating; end a toxic relationship, begin isolation; gain financial independence, lose family time. We offer alternative therapies for those searching for a holistic and eclectic approach to counseling, including creative arts, mindfulness meditation, and logotherapy, the belief that we can find meaning in suffering.

In life we experience unpleasant moments during our journey with ups and downs; sometimes it can feel more overwhelming rather than positive. It might look like dissolving relationships personal or professional, difficulty expressing emotions, or anger getting the best of you. It could be spending too much time in your head than living in the moment and missing out in life.

Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can control how we respond to certain situations. In many ways, being human is our biggest challenge. We have complex thought processes, feelings, and practices of reacting to the world we live in. Therefore, our personal experiences and ways of relating to our world are difficult to understand - even by ourselves! When faced with hardship, trauma, uncertainty, and change, these complexities become even more challenging to know.
