San Antonio, TX - Accepting clients in TX
First and foremost, I am a Christian. While my faith in God is very strong, I work within the parameters established by my clients. If they do not believe, and do not request faith-based services, this will never come up in our work together, but I hope to treat you with all the compassion that Jesus would. That was the greatest compliment I ever had from a Lesbian client, that for the first time in her life, she felt treated as Jesus would have treated her.
I am a trauma survivor myself. I know the difficult road back from childhood and adult traumatic events first-hand, not just from the textbooks. I dedicated my life and 35-year career running a nonprofit serving survivors of trauma--child abuse victims, veterans, domestic violence, sexual trauma, surviving family members of homicide victims, and terroristic attacks. It is unconscionable what human beings will do to one another, and it can perpetuate for generations if you neglect your own recovery.
I am also a mediator and have had the honor of reconciling many marriages--some who even came to me for divorce and custody originally, wanting to save their marriage but not knowing what else to try. I've seen healing in many generational disputes, and in interventions with families trying to get an addicted or severely mentally ill member to treatment. I do Workplace Mediation and Eldercare and Guardianship Mediation as well. Have differences in parenting? Parenting and Discipline Planning are accomplished expeditiously in mediation. Want the perfect wedding gift? Give them Pre-marital or Re-marital Mediation so they can discuss and agree on life choices together before they get married and start arguing endlessly about them.

As a counselor, I have several years of experience making true positive progress for many mental health issues. I believe that every person has a unique set of circumstances that differentiate our mental health and ways of thinking and acting. Because we all differ, I do not believe in a one size fits all approach. I believe in nurturing and fostering a strong healthy relationship that enables the expression of one’s own uniqueness, which in turn helps to promote a therapeutic mental wellness that is tailor made for each individual. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who is skilled at motivating, communicating, and helping my clients find their inner strength.

Hi everyone! I'm Antony Cantu (he/him/his), a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years of experience across diverse settings, which includes 3 years of clinical (private practice, shelter) and 3 years in the educational setting. This unique blend allows me to specialize in areas like trauma, particularly intergenerational traumas and sexual identity challenges, while also addressing related issues like anxiety, depression, and family conflicts.
Throughout my work with a wide range of clients, men and women alike, I've been struck by how truly individual we all are. Your unique experiences and perspectives are what make you special. By identifying what you want to achieve, we can work together to develop a personalized path towards a more mindful, embodied, and fulfilling life.
As a Latino/Latinx and LGBTQ+ member myself, I offer a culturally sensitive space to explore your identity. Bilingual in Spanish and English, I've primarily worked with Latinx populations.
I believe in tailoring treatment to your unique needs, blending traditional and innovative therapies to achieve balance and wellness. I commend your journey towards wholeness and look forward to working with you!

Hey there! Are you feeling a little overwhelmed lately? You’re not alone. Maybe you’ve been juggling a million things, second-guessing yourself, or trying to keep everyone else happy while quietly burning out. If that sounds familiar, I see you and I’d love to help.
I work with millennials, professionals and creatives who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start feeling more connected, calm, and confident in their own skin. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, going through a big life transition, struggling with boundaries, or just feeling “off,” we’ll work together to make sense of it and create space for something new.
In our sessions, you can expect compassion, curiosity, and maybe even a little humor when it fits. I use an integrative approach rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, but I also bring creativity and flexibility into the process because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are you.
This is your space to breathe, reflect, and grow. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up and we’ll take it from there, together.
