Stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or the pressure of constantly holding it all together - sound familiar? My clients are ambitious, capable people who are quietly struggling, and seek not only to feel better but also to understand themselves better in the process.

My approach is warm, inquisitive, and solution-oriented.

If your goal is to strengthen relationships, navigate life transitions, and create a life that feels more connected, meaningful, and sustainable, then I'm your huckleberry. Whether you're navigating a challenging season, feeling stuck, or simply looking to live more intentionally, our work together will be a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, you're not alone. Life's transitions, relationship struggles, stress, anxiety, and depression can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and uncertain about what comes next. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family challenges, relationship concerns, grief, anger, maternal mental health issues, women's issues, and life transitions. Many of my clients are balancing personal and professional responsibilities while trying to care for everyone around them, often at the expense of their own well-being. Together, we'll create a supportive environment where you can slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with what matters most. My goal is to help you build confidence, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful changes that support a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Alexis Garcia

Alexis Garcia

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Originally from California, I now happily call Austin, Texas home. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from the University of the Incarnate Word, my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision with a concentration in Neurofeedback Therapy.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients ranging from 4 to 90 years old in nonprofit organizations, private practice, and correctional facilities. These diverse experiences have strengthened my ability to meet each client where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs.

I believe that therapy is built on a foundation of trust, authenticity, and collaboration. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, supported, and empowered. I value the relationships I build with my clients and consider it a privilege to walk alongside them as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

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.
