Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Helotes, TX


I’m an LPC based in San Antonio, Texas. I have a master’s in clinical Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in military families and culture. I’m also a Certified DBT Therapist and a member of the ACA.

I’ve worked in mental health since 2018, starting in a psychiatric hospital where I gained broad experience with a wide range of diagnoses and acute care needs.

That foundation, combined with my private practice work, has shaped a grounded, trauma-informed, and practical style to provide you with a therapy experience that is unique to your needs.

I work with adolescents (13 and up) and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, chronic illness, and neurodivergence.

You've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you may have forgotten what it feels like to be supported yourself. If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, family conflict, trauma, or a major life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I'm Dr. Ej Sit, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, older adults, and families create meaningful, lasting change. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, women's issues, self esteem, family challenges, and life transitions.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. I believe every person has strengths, even during life's most difficult seasons. Together, we'll build on those strengths, increase your confidence, and develop practical tools that help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your daily life.
