If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.

I take a fresh, integrative approach to individualized psychotherapy, tailoring my treatment approach to each client's unique needs and goals. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients better understand and regulate their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and reactions.
I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping clients develop greater acceptance of difficult emotions and circumstances that may be out of their control while taking meaningful action aligned with their personal values. With seven years of experience as a Group Facilitator and Individual Therapist in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I utilize evidence-based skills and mindfulness practices to help clients improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and build resilience.
I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are without fear of judgment.
I work with adults, young adults and children experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic interventions, and mindfulness to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and create lasting change.
My goal is to assist you in achieving better mental health and quality of life. If you are experiencing difficulties and hope to gain relief and personal growth you will find that my approach is direct & supportive. My sessions typically include specific exercises & skill-building to foster emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellness. I have experience in a variety of clinical settings including ministry, medical, crisis assessment & intervention, corrections & schools.
You look like you have it together—but inside, your relationship feels strained, communication breaks down, or anxiety and overthinking take over. Whether you’re a couple stuck in the same arguments, a teen struggling emotionally, or an adult feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure this out alone. I provide therapy in San Antonio for couples, teens, and adults who want real, lasting change. I specialize in “couples therapy,” “teen counseling,” and “therapy for anxiety and relationship issues,” helping clients improve communication, manage emotions, and break unhealthy patterns.
I am grounded in honesty, advocacy, and deep respect for their autonomy. I show up guided by my values, including a strong commitment to social justice and empowerment. I believe everything is connected, and I bring that belief into the room with intention and care. I am someone who will help you understand your choices, your responsibility, and your own agency. I’m especially drawn to working with adolescents and young adults as they explore who they are and navigate the overwhelming stress and pressure that can come with growing up. My clinical interests include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image, and ADHD.
Hi, I’m Dianna Johnson, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Addiction Specialist (CAS) with over two decades of experience helping people find hope, healing, and meaningful change. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship issues, and stress management.
I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals living with Borderline Personality Disorder and those who struggle with impulsivity or emotional intensity. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build emotional balance, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Reaching out for help takes courage, and I'm glad you're here. Whether you're working through substance use, the aftermath of trauma, anger that feels hard to manage, or stress that's spilling into your family life, you don't have to figure it out alone. I've spent my career helping adults find their footing again, and I'd be honored to help you do the same.
Along the way I've trained in addiction recovery, trauma and abuse therapy, EMDR (Levels I and II), and Motivational Interviewing. I've also helped build intensive residential and outpatient treatment programs, and I train and supervise other clinicians in Colorado. What that means for you is experience you can lean on, with a person who treats you as a person, not a diagnosis.

Hi there, my name is Marie and I have years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction and impulse control. I bring a wealth of knowledge for both your substance use, process addictions as well as couples and family therapy.
Attending to our mental wellbeing is the first step towards an improved life - my goal is to help you make that a reality with my experience. I have worked with individuals in regular community as well as with incarcerated individuals. My goal is to listen to your needs and to meet your where you are at without judgment.
