Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in San Marcos, TX

Sometimes you know you need support, but you may not know exactly how to put what you're feeling into words. You might be carrying stress from work, family, relationships, or past experiences while trying to keep everything moving. Maybe you're feeling anxious, discouraged, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward after something difficult has happened. I work with children, adolescents, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are navigating difficult experiences, trauma, life changes, and emotional challenges. As a counselor in Texas for more than 14 years, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you find a path forward that feels meaningful to you.

Hello! My name is Rachel. You don’t have to deal with your struggles alone. I am here to listen to your story.

I have over 10 years of experience working intensively with people who have substance use disorders, anxiety, trauma, depression & PTSD. My previous experience as a Clinical Director allowed me the honor of witnessing the transformation that happens in a person's life through therapeutic work. I believe in you and trust the process. My philosophies are strengths-based, person-centered with confidence that there is always hope. I serve as guide to assist you in healing and implementing changes so you can live a happier, healthier life.

The client-therapist relationship is one of the most important components of therapy. It is important you find the right fit. That is why I offer a free initial consultation. I am offering telehealth sessions and have evening availability to meet your needs.

I'm a licensed psychologist, an assistant professor at a public university, and — in an earlier life — a musician who led a band around Hongdae in Seoul. I was born and raised in Korea and have since lived and worked across the U.S. and in Vietnam, so I know the experience of living between cultures from the inside.

I work with adults, adolescents, and children, in English and Korean, on ADHD and executive functioning; anxiety, stress, and depression; giftedness, creativity, and high performance (including performers and creative professionals); and bicultural and Korean-American identity, acculturation, and family dynamics across generations. I also see couples and families.

My doctorate is from one of the very few APA-accredited Combined (Counseling & School Psychology) programs in North America, and I've researched creativity and giftedness for more than ten years. Most of my work is by telehealth.
