Teresa Urbina Mental Health Therapist in San Antonio, TX

I have been working with Teresa for nearly 2 years. She has been a pivotal part of my growth during this time. I started working with her to heal from grief and our sessions have morphed to cover so much more. She hears everything that I say and responds with grace and just the right amount of push that I need to get over the obstacles in front of me. I look forward to sharing the small successes with her and she celebrates those with me. But she also makes sure to keep our time sacred and truly focus on what I *need.* She carries herself with a balance of friendliness and professionalism. I've come so far from where I was two years ago and I wouldn't be where I am today without her.

Teresa has been an incredible Licensed Professional Counselor to me and has been instrumental in helping me heal through my self discovery journey. I have been working with Teresa for over a year now and the personal progress that I have made is thanks to her. She has been very patient and supportive during this journey. Being a first time mom, and going through a divorce was a very difficult time in my life. The demands that come with being a first time mom, caring for a newborn, as well as learning how to be the head of household was a challenging journey. I personally would suppress my emotions and values underneath piles and piles of work. I guess it was easier to deal with work and become a workaholic versus taking control of what I was actually going through in my personal life. I came to my breaking point February 2021 in which I did not understand who/what was important to me and most importantly who I was as a person anymore. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Teresa has helped me become aware of my emotions, challenge my negative thoughts, has helped me identify what my true values are and how to make them a priority, and is currently helping me process traumatic events in my life. Being a mom is hard work! Let alone being a single mom. However all of the hard work that I have been able to put into my mental wellness has helped me discover myself again and has helped me align my values. All of this was possible thanks to Teresa. Her kindness, patience, and experience have definitely made a huge improvement in my life. There are not enough words to express my gratitude towards her. I would, without a doubt, recommend Teresa’s services to any mom needing a little help in making herself a priority again and/or needing help with their mental wellness. Moms are superheroes! There is no task or obstacle too big or too small that they cannot deal with or handle. However, I have come to find out that even superheroes need help. So please prioritize you and take care of you. Once you have learned to take care of yourself, only then, will you also be able to take care of others.
