Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in San Antonio, TX

My approach with clients is highly relational. I use an attachment-based lens to guide the therapeutic process, though I incorporate various theories and modalities to customize the journey toward healing for each client. My area of focus with adults is family of origin issues, dissociative disorders, complex trauma, and PTSD.

I help clients “update” or transform their own relationship to their need for connection to themselves and others. Each one of us has a unique life story and inherent gifts that shine when we move toward a life lived with connection, purpose, and intentionality.

At Kelly Counseling and Consulting my mission is to offer compassionate counseling to help individuals confidently overcome life's challenges. I ensure a safe space for growth, offering care that fosters wellness and meaningful change, aiming for every client to feel valued and hopeful.

As a therapist, I specialize in trauma recovery and the treatment of phobias, using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 5 to 25. Together, we’ll work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and find practical tools to help you or your child move forward.

In addition to EMDR, I’m trained in multiple trauma-informed approaches, including Sandtray Therapy and Play Therapy. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method to healing, so I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences.

I also offer parent support through dedicated "Parent Sessions," where I provide coaching, education, and guidance to help families support their child’s growth and healing at home. I view therapy as a family-centered process — not just individual work — and I'm passionate about empowering caregivers along the way.

I provide both in-person and virtual sessions through Bending Willows Wellness PLLC in the San Antonio area. I am licensed in Texas and offer virtual therapy to clients across the state. Virtual sessions are available for ages 8 and up, while children ages 5–7 are seen in person.
