Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in New Braunfels, TX

Welcome! I’m Monique Swan, owner of New Branch Mental Health. I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, compassionate, and personalized. As a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring a whole-person perspective to psychiatric care.

I take time to understand your symptoms, experiences, lifestyle, medical history, and goals so we can work together to create a treatment plan that fits your individual needs.

I have helped individuals sort through hectic times. If you need someone to talk to with and empathetic ear, then feel free to reach out. I am accepting new clients evening hours after 8:30pm cst for clients in Texas, New Jersey, Utah, and Iowa. I have an additional focus on Men's Issues related to Infidelity, sexual dysfunction, and sex/porn addiction. I provide a safe space to work through these issues.

If you've been struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or behaviors that keep getting in the way of the life you want, you don't have to figure it out alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) with 18 years of experience helping people rebuild their lives through criminal reentry. Today, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples who are looking for real change. Over the years, I've learned that no one is defined by their past, and I believe every person is capable of growth when they're given the right support.

I graduated from Southern Methodist University with Bachelors in Biology and Psychology before moving on to St. Edward's University to receive my Master's in Counseling. I am an LPC, was formerly an LCDC, and I am trained in EMDR, meaning I specialize in substance use and trauma. However, I'm here to help with normal life stress as well.

I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.

I became a therapist to be safe space for people who didn't feel like they had one. I earned my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy so I could be equipped to help couples navigate their struggles and be that safe space for anyone who needed it. No one should feel like they have to do life alone.
