Hi, I’m Stephanie. As a therapist, I believe that my clients already hold the answers to their concerns. In my role, I aim to create a safe space for the emotional growth needed for you to realize the vast possibilities for your life and wellbeing. 

I received my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology with a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas in 2009. After graduation, I started my mental health career in a private practice that assisted clients who were coping with chronic pain and worker’s compensation cases. I facilitated group and individual sessions to prepare them for medical procedures to help with their injury and/or pain. I was part of a multidisciplinary treatment team that consisted of medical providers and physical therapist. During my LPC-Internship, I worked with a non-profit agency that assisted under insured or un-insured women with a Cancer diagnosis. The women I supported were currently undergoing Cancer treatment or were in various stages of remission. I was truly blessed to have worked with such amazingly strong women who taught me so much about understanding what is most precious in life. Issues discussed were dealing around their current treatment and at times, helping their families understand the process of treatment decisions and end of life issues. I then started to work with the Local Mental Health Authority for Bexar County. I started my journey with this agency in the Crisis Transitional Unit for adult services. My experience with adults suffering from severe mental health issues such as Schizophrenia, Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder, just to name a few of the diagnosis worked with. As the Licensed Mental Health Professional on unit, I was able to help manage crisis and assist consumers in transitioning into a healthier mental health lifestyle. This was important working the homeless and un-insured population of Bexar County. Then I moved to the Children’s Division, within the same agency, as the Clinical Administrator over the Children’s Crisis Unit and Children’s Mobile Outreach Team. In this position, I supervised and worked side by side with a crisis response team that completed crisis assessments for children and adolescents who are experiencing a mental health crisis. Family education on mental health and crisis treatment planning was part of the services provided. I am a Certified Youth Mental Health First Aid Trainer and a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor. I enjoy training on topics such as Crisis Intervention, Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention, Stress/Anger Management just to name a few topics I have trained at Parent Academies with local Charter Schools and school districts in San Antonio. I enjoy training parents and educators to identify and manage students who need to be seen and heard. In my practice I use person-centered, solution-focused brief (SFBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist with the development of new coping skills for anger management, depression, anxiety, relationships issues and everyday stress. I also have experience working with suicidal ideation, crisis intervention and stabilization. I also use an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities, which can include the use of spirituality, to fit each person’s needs. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy. It should not be a “one size fits all” mindset. I’m reliable, honest and dedicated to the growth of mental health awareness and strength of my clients.

Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of a betrayal, the challenges of infertility, or the complexities of parenting, these struggles can feel isolating and deeply personal. Perhaps you’ve experienced trauma that continues to impact your daily life, relationships, or sense of self. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. You want to find a way to heal, gain clarity, and rebuild trust—with yourself, with others, or both. You’re ready to explore your thoughts and emotions in a space where you feel safe and supported, with someone who truly understands the unique challenges you face. My clients have experienced infidelity, fertility struggles, and parenting concerns. Using CBT and DBT, I create a nonjudgmental space to help you process emotions, uncover strengths, and build practical tools for change. Together, we’ll address challenges and work toward healing and meaningful growth. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to provide compassionate support and guidance every step of the way. Let’s connect for a free consultation to explore how I can help you heal and move forward with confidence.

Grief has a way of transforming everything around us. It can seem as if your entire world has been flipped on its head, making each step forward feel daunting. Yet, it’s important to acknowledge that your feelings are completely valid. Grief is a deep testament to the love and bond you shared with the person you’ve lost. As you move through this process, it’s important to give yourself permission to experience your emotions fully, without judgment. There will be days when you feel overwhelmed and others when you find moments of peace, and that’s perfectly normal. My passion lies in offering therapy to individuals, families, and couples navigating the profound challenges of losing a loved one. I deeply understand the immense difficulty and pain that accompanies such a life event. My aim is to create a nonjudgmental and supportive space where you can begin to heal from the grief that often feels overwhelming. In addition to grief counseling, I also specialize in addressing faith-related matters, relationship dynamics, anxiety, stress, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I believe in personalizing therapy to suit your unique circumstances and needs, ensuring that you receive the most effective and compassionate care possible. Together, we can work towards overcoming the obstacles you face and finding a path to greater peace and well-being. In our sessions, we’ll delve into challenging subjects to help reshape negative thinking patterns. My goal is to foster a nurturing environment where you can openly express your emotions and collaboratively address those negative thoughts. My treatment approach includes Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), and Emotionally Focused therapy. I provide a complimentary 15-minute consultation to introduce myself and explore how I can support you. Together, we can navigate through grief and the various challenges you may encounter. Let’s join forces to find a path forward.

Hi! I’m Dr. Johnson… and I love helping people learn more about themselves and what drives their choices. Insight can liberate us from limiting, painful life patterns and deep understanding can be the birthplace of healing self-compassion. Feeling confused, lost, down, or hopeless is a part of life, but we don’t have to stay there, and we don’t have to navigate those experiences alone. Bring your courage and curiosity and together we can work towards meaningful and lasting change.

I strives to provide quality care in our communities we service and create a haven for those in need. I develop mastering skills to create lifelong changes in clients’ lives. I help individuals achieve self-realization and learn how to engage in positive thinking to achieve their goals.

Are you tired of people telling you how strong you are? Friends, family and even some therapists will often say this with the best of intentions. True healing, however, moves beyond pure resiliency. We must go further than just managing our emotions and begin to process and heal them so we can move through. As your therapist I will be both companion and challenger along your journey. I will walk alongside you and bring a genuine sense of compassion to any difficulties you may face. I offer a safe, open and non-judgmental space for you to find your own voice and equip you with tools to move forward and reach a more contented life. My therapeutic approach is integrative and incorporates a blend of cognitive behavioral, body based, emotion focused, family systems and relational orientations. I offer a holistic approach to treatment, taking into account your personality and life circumstances to create a specialized plan which reflects your own unique goals and gifts.
