Female Therapists in San Marcos, TX

Have you experienced trauma or attachment wounding? Are you in a constant state of fight or flight or dissociation and shut down? Does your nervous system feel like your enemy? Traumatic events affect people in very different ways. One thing is certain though; trauma is stored in your body and affects your mind, body, memory, mood, spirit, and relationships with yourself and with others. There is a way to befriend your nervous system, effectively heal your past wounds, cope with your current triggers, and discover your own personal post-traumatic growth and resiliency for the future.

It’s hard to be vulnerable. Especially with someone you don’t know. I work hard to establish a therapeutic relationship built on trust. I provide a holistic approach exploring all parts of a person’s past and current circumstances so that the process can help in giving insight for healing and growth.

Warm regards to you! You may be at a place where challenges in life just seem to be too much for you to handle alone. Many people come to counseling and find help to deal more powerfully with the challenges of life. Many situations, emotions and patterns of self-defeating behavior prevent people from living a happy, productive, and satisfying life. Some of these behaviors are in our awareness; while others are not obvious to us. The goal of counseling is to help increase self-awareness, for you to find your best way to function and thrive!

I believe you are the expert in your life. I am here to guide you to set and achieve goals for your life. I love to help people rediscover joy and find what helps them feel their best. I have over 7 years of experience helping people with anxiety and depression.

Hi! My name is Jordan, and I have been a relationship counselor in Texas since 2012. I find there to be so much power in the relationships we have with others and with ourselves. Authentic connection can bring us so much joy, while disconnection can be so painful. My clients want to learn, heal, and grow in their relationships, either through couples or individual therapy. The result of our work is that my clients often have a greater sense of empowerment and satisfaction in their lives, a better understanding of what is important to them, and know how to clearly communicate their needs and desires.

In my experience, I've found that people come to therapy when they are in a crisis situation or encounter something that seems too overwhelming to face on their own. I approach my work in a collaborative way that promotes self-awareness, understanding, support and discovery, promoting safety and understanding. By focusing strengths, I hope to assist my clients in finding healthy ways to cope with stressors, achieve desired changes, better understand how they relate to others and the world, develop personal potential and empower in a gentle, purposeful manner.

Hello there! I'm Melissa and I am a first-generation, bilingual Latina from south Texas. I understand the fear and loneliness often experienced during major life transitions. I enjoy working to build resiliency in clients as they navigate these transitions such as new parenthood, moving away from home, starting college, or entering the workforce.

Does the noise in your head feel overwheming? Feeling angry, hopeless, or wanting to feel alive; to stop the constant "shit show" you've been living? Maybe you're tired of waking up every single day wanting to stay in bed. I get it; you're frustrated & overwhelmed; feel like you have no control & it's hard to trust or get close to anyone. And your self-esteem, boundaries, & relationships probably suck & that pisses you off even more. The lifetime of hits just won't stop coming. I can help - w/ the thoughts, images, shame, & demons yelling in your head. I can help you turn it off & help make life livable again.

Welcome! Taking that first step to seek out help can be challenging, and I'm glad you are starting that journey. I work with adults, children, and teens who are looking for a place to explore how they can show up more authentically in the world. That might mean we work together toward you healing from past hurts or trauma, becoming more self-accepting, exploring past or new identities, finding ways to move through depression/anxiety, parenting more confidently, or helping your child access their full potential.

You care so much about your child. They are your top priority. You may be at your wits end or nervous about what is going on with your child. You would do anything to see them happier and thriving in all areas of life. I've helped many families with behavioral, social, and emotional concerns. I help build coping, self esteem, and resilience skills. I believe in involving the parents and helping them learn new strategies because this will bring more lasting results for the child/teen. I finished my Bachelors in Counseling in 2000 and Graduate degree in Counseling in 2013. I have worked helping children for 19 years.

Welcome! My name is Colleen Christie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas. With 29 years of experience, my primary focus of my practice is relationship issues including break-ups, divorce, couples therapy, toxic relationships and even "lack of relationship" issues. I also treat disorders that are frequently the consequences of difficult personal/family relationships including grief, anxiety, poor self-esteem, depression and trauma. I mostly utilize a systems and existential approach to therapy, but use multiple modalities based on the needs of my client.

I work with young adults looking for an alternative approach to improve their mental health. An integrative and functional approach focuses on sleep, nutrition, and movement to achieve mental health goals. I use this intervention to address symptoms of depression, ADHD, anxiety, and stress. The individuals I work with are seeking to reduce symptoms of anxiety, increase emotional regulation, and boost their mood and energy levels.

We all have many unique connections in our lives, although not all are happy and healthy. Therapy offers you a neutral, comfortable and safe opportunity to explore these connections with others and within yourself. With that information, you are able to improve the use of your strengths to become better prepared to overcome challenges and reach your goals! It can be helpful to explore the relationships of thoughts, feelings and behavior to reach the optimal results. Your unique connections and perspective will help guide us on the path to symptom relief as we explore strategies you can utilize on a regular basis.

How are you today? Really, how are you? Browsing these pages can be overwhelming – the unfamiliar words, the multitude of smiling faces. Those smiles can seem insulting in the face of overwhelming depression. Who do you pick? It’s okay to have questions and doubts; it’s okay to pick someone and change your mind once you meet them. My name is Cherise (she/her) and I am an LPC-Associate. This means that I have the education and experience to have a provisional license to counsel, but must do so under supervision. You not only have a qualified therapist, you also have a second, more experienced therapist behind the scenes.
