TRICARE Therapists in San Antonio, TX

The decision to seek therapy is difficult and personal. Not knowing all the answers to your life questions is natural. Often, people choose therapy during times of stress, discomfort, chaos, and emotional pain. It may also be when you are ready for changes or growth to happen in your life. I believe that within every individual lies the ability to overcome, learn, and preserver through the concerns that brought them to therapy.

Hello, my name is Kristen Cooper MacDiarmid. I am a licensed professional counselor that works with adolescents and adults. I specialize in anxiety and mood disorders. In this time of turmoil and change, it is more important than ever to take care of our mental health while maintaining our physical health and well being; therefore, I offer flexible early morning and evening telehealth hours several days a week.

Retired Air Force 1990, worked at private psychiatric hospitals, administrative work for a not-for-profit hospital, private practice since 2002.

Creating a safe space for individuals has always been an important objective for me and my philosophy as a counselor. I’m deeply passionate about mental health and hoping to help normalize the stigma of asking for help. Assisting clients rediscover parts of themselves they may be unfamiliar with due to experiencing trauma, loss or other life experiences is a main focus of mine. I can help by facilitating a space which allows you to be vulnerable and free of judgement. Please reach out if you are experiencing discomforting emotions, thoughts and feelings of anxiety, depression, self-harm, stress or suicidal ideation.

I work with couples, families, and individuals (teens, kids, and adults). Do you want to experience things like growth, change, and healing? Are you experiencing grief, trauma (PTSD), addiction, anxiety, depression, or psychosis? Do you take medication, but it feels like something is missing or off? Maybe it’s something else. I help by treating the SOURCE of what you are facing, and I help with the day-to-day and the past of how to deal with the source, so you can be your best self. The source is a ‘root cause’ or a ‘seed’ of how it started.

"Our primary focus is Client centered. We believe Counseling is about the Client and not the Counselor. We help Clients develop skills collaboratively to alleviate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and other symptoms. Omni Layne Counseling has both male and female counselors".

You are not broken, and you do not need fixing. However, therapy can be a tool to help you work on parts of your life that leave you feeling dissatisfied. It can be hard to ask others for help, and too many times we tend to keep our feelings locked inside. For those of us existing in a variety of roles- as a parent, a child, a sibling, a working professional, a student, and a friend- we are taught to be strong and to do for others before we do for ourselves. This can be harmful and can lead to burnout in all aspects of our lives.

Does your child or teen have problems getting along with others?Are you feeling overwhelmed with the demands of your daily life? Are you needing support to deal with all this stress? I can help. I have worked with children as young as 3 y.o. and adults in their 70's and all ages in-between to help them learn to enjoy life more.

I have over 10 years’ experience working with a variety of individuals: children, adolescents, adults, couples, & families. I specialize in issues of depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, trauma, foster/adoption, divorce, Co-parenting, self-esteem, grief, parenting, and school-based concerns. My approach to therapy is strength-based and outcome oriented. I believe the process of therapy involves partnering together to promote a healthy therapeutic relationship with a sense of safety, trust, and acceptance while setting achievable goals and helping the client achieve self-acceptance leading to a secure, healthy sense of self.

Do you find yourself reliving unpleasant memories from your past? These could be situations of childhood abuse/neglect, the horrors of war, or single traumatic events (such as car accidents, assaults, or any situations in which your life or the life of a loved one was threatened). If this is the case, you might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is common in civilian and military populations. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS A SOLUTION. There is a powerful therapy called EMDR which has proven to be effective with not only PTSD, but also many other mental health disorders, because more often than not, trauma is the core issue.

I am a therapist who is empathetic, caring, and considerate. I can help you no matter how big or how little the situation or problem is. I have spent over half of my life helping people and truly believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I work with individuals, couples, same sex, and anyone wanting to be rid of pain or sorrow. I am here to help you. A call to my office is the first step.

Life can throw you unanticipated curve balls. When that happens life can feel overwhelming and sometimes leave us feeling shaken or alone. I'm here to help. If you want to talk through life's challenges, find your direction or you desire to make a positive change I would love to connect with you. In my years of practice there are a few things I know, change can be difficult, addiction can be overcome and hearts can heal from deep wounds that can sometimes leave a scar. It takes time to heal and find inner peace and joy. With the right people by your side healing is always possible. Reach out today and lets get something scheduled.

Are you stuck? Do you feel like you have to wear a mask to make it through your day? Do you have a goal you need help setting and/or achieving? Do you have trouble setting healthy boundaries with friends and family? Are you having nightmares or flashbacks? Many struggle silently and have trouble finding a way to take the first step towards healing. If you would like to take the first step toward change, Vasi is here to help you become your best self! Vasi can help you find ways to gradually reduce symptoms that affect your daily living; set healthy boundaries, achieve goals and overcome losses. Christian counseling provided as well

I am a genuine listener who engages others by getting to know them, while exploring needs and goals. I believe that problem-solving begins with discovery of our inner strengths which can be used to foster healing and growth. As one begins to identify these resources and learns to use them, she/he is empowered to make changes and gain understanding about self and others previously thought impossible. While work in therapy can be difficult at times, it does not always have to be "serious business". Many people do not know how to have fun and learning this skill is always healing.

The connection between client and therapist is the main factor necessary for successful therapeutic change. I will help you clarify essential goals, that once achieved will lead to you firing me. By being "client-centered", our sessions will be led by you and I will walk with you during your journey, adding evidence-based information, posing insight-oriented questions and helping present relative information in a novel context (due to my being unbiased). "Firing" your therapist means you feel confident to utilize new skills to better manage life:)

I empower my clients to have a voice in their lives. I enjoy teaching my clients skills to set boundaries as well as reaching their personal goals. Dealing with the daily hassles alone can be stressful; through counseling and practice you can work on regaining your confidence, thus making your life easier. We work together in challenging the thoughts that bring you down so that you can learn to enjoy the little things in life. I believe that self-care is very important and I commend you on taking the first step toward a healthier you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the past 12 years with 28 years overall experience, I have found that people need someone at some point in their life to help them face difficult life challenges, circumstances or past traumatic experiences that are preventing them from reaching their goals or full potential. I believe that Everyone has positive attributes about themselves but sometimes they do not know how to find that inner strength or access it in order to move forward.

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 understand that making a commitment to yourself through psychological therapy is a significant and important step for many people.
