* Important: Not all available appointments are shown. Please schedule an appointment and we can discuss other appointment times _ Hi! I’m Israel. Ever feel like no one really listens to you or, honestly, just doesn’t get you, especially your parents? Not to worry, that’s where I come in. I enjoy working with young people and help them understand their emotions or how to get along with their parents, teachers and/or friends. Sometimes it can be difficult to express our emotions, talk to people or just navigate this hectic young life. I've been working with young people and helping them find their way for many, many years. It might take a few sessions to get comfortable and figure things out, and that’s completely okay. We’ll take it one step at a time and work through it together. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. Let’s work together!

Hello! My name is Cindy Dorestant. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is passionate about working with clients who are ready to work toward the change they seek. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions while creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative and empowering, helping clients recognize patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, develop practical coping tools, and create a healthier narrative for themselves. I believe therapy is a space where clients can be both supported and challenged as they grow, heal, and reconnect with who they are.

Miljana (Mina) Bajic, LCSW My main professional interest and passion is insight-based psychology and existential psychodynamic therapy. I studied and practiced clinical psychology in Belgrade, Serbia for 15 years where I also received intensive training in psychodynamic therapy and worked with individuals, families, and groups. Since moving to Houston 12 years ago, I completed my graduate degree at the University of Houston, where I practiced therapy mostly with people suffering from trauma, anxiety, and grief. I taught courses to graduate students at the University of Houston on Spirituality and Aging, Group therapy, Grief/Bereavement therapy and Research Methodology. My deep dedication to the understanding and acceptance of the most diverse human existential experiences and challenges has led me to explore a wide array of aspects and sources of knowledge both scientific (evidence-based), but also those stemming from the creative processes of making music, literature, film, and art. My basic belief is that ultimate healing and balance comes from the inward, often unpleasant, but deeply rewarding journey into ourselves that incorporates our habits and thoughts, but also our physical existence, emotional dynamic and spiritual needs and values. My goal as a therapist is to be a reliable, trusted companion in this journey of self-exploration and self-acceptance.

From children to adolescents, young adults to adults, I have committed my career to understanding and addressing the diverse and complex needs of my clients. My experience spans multiple roles, including direct therapy, crisis intervention, and program development, all of which have equipped me with a comprehensive skill set to effectively serve my clients. Working with children and adolescents, I have developed specialized techniques to address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and developmental challenges, always striving to create a safe and nurturing environment where young minds can thrive. My work with young adults has focused on navigating the critical transitions of life, fostering resilience, and promoting mental health awareness. For adults, my approach is grounded in empathy and evidence-based practices, aiming to empower individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve personal growth, and maintain emotional well-being. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to lifelong learning, continually updating my knowledge and skills to incorporate the latest advancements in mental health research and therapeutic techniques.

My background covers a wide range of experience working with individuals and groups of all ages, diverse backgrounds and circumstances, and in various professional settings and roles. The professional settings I have experience in range from non-profits, child/family services, crisis intervention, child/youth shelters, psychiatric hospitals, schools, and private counseling. I have worked in many roles as well, including case management, social worker, counselor, teacher, supervisor, director and administrator. The most important thing to know about me is my belief that in all of my experience, the people involved who need help and support are much more capable of handling the issues in their life than they may feel like they are at the time they come to my office. I have worked with children, families, adolescents, and adults and this has always been true. Whatever circumstance or issue causes someone to seek help, my role is to assist that person in finding ways they can handle it and with better results for them and their life. I frequently remind clients that there is one thing that every low point in their life has in common: the low points change, they pass, and things are not always like that. Our job is to move that change in a direction that benefits you and will support you in a brighter future.

I believe therapy is less about having all the answers and more about having a place where you can be honest about what’s really going on. Life can be complicated, and sometimes we just need someone who will listen without judgment, help us make sense of things, and walk alongside us as we figure out what comes next. My practice is grounded in connection, curiosity, and creating a space where you can show up as yourself. You don’t have to have the right words or know exactly where to begin. We can start wherever you are and take it from there. I’m interested in the whole person—not just the problem that brings you in. Together, we can explore the experiences, relationships, patterns, and beliefs that may be shaping how you see yourself and navigate the world. I also believe therapy should be useful outside the room, so our work can include practical tools and new ways of approaching the things that matter most to you. I don’t believe growth means becoming a different person. To me, it’s often about becoming more connected to who you already are—understanding yourself more deeply, trusting your voice, setting boundaries, and making choices that feel true to you. My hope is that our work feels like a genuine partnership: a place where you feel seen, understood, and supported while creating meaningful change in your life.

I bring together clinical skill, cultural awareness, and real life understanding to help clients feel seen, steady, and empowered.

I believe healing starts with connection— Connection to yourself, your story, and the people around you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for growth, you don’t have to navigate it alone. ✨ This is a space where you are seen, heard, and supported. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy. Maybe you’re: • Overthinking everything • Feeling emotionally drained • Struggling in your relationships • Carrying things you haven’t said out loud

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with expertise working with LGBTQIA+ and Nuerodivergent individuals. Starting therapy can feel scary — but it can also be life-changing. You are brave, and you're not alone. I believe that therapy is ready to work for those who are ready to make the leap. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ it is close to my heart to ensure that all people have a safe, nonjudgmental place to process life's challenges. I also tend to use humor in session as a way to process stressors.

I approach clients with the an open mindset, looking to explore what the client needs and what they want for themselves. I always want my clients to know there is no judgement from me in their decisions, EVER. I view everyone's mistakes as us just being human and having a human experience. This practice of examining our human journey and what motivates us to do the things we do is extended to myself, my clients and my children/family. I often attempt to have the practice of asking myself "why did I do that? Did I do that because of this or because I was feeling blank?" I think it is important to help others get to the place where they ask themselves the same type of questions. We're all here just having human experiences!

As a board-certified counselor with over 25 years of experience in social services, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s toughest challenges. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship distress, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard, valued, and understood. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Webster University and utilize an integrative therapeutic approach tailored to your unique needs. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individual clients understand how their thoughts shape their world, and incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to discover practical, goal-oriented strategies for immediate relief and future growth. For couples seeking to rebuild their bond, I utilize the Gottman Method. This evidence-based approach is designed specifically for couples therapy, helping partners disarm conflicting communication, increase intimacy, deepen affection, and break through barriers of stagnation. I believe that healing, growth, and relationship repair are collaborative journeys. To accommodate your busy schedule, I offer convenient telehealth sessions throughout the week, as well as in-person sessions exclusively on Tuesdays. My office is located at 8918 Tesoro Drive, San Antonio, TX 78217. No matter how heavy your burden feels right now, you do not have to carry it alone. Over the past two and a half decades, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible power of human resilience when people are equipped with the right clinical tools, insights, and consistent clinical support. Together, we will create a personalized plan designed to help you build healthier habits, uncover your inner strength, and move forward with clarity. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but it is a powerful investment in your future and your relationships.
