San Antonio, TX

Hi, I'm Abel Garcia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over two decades of experience in the mental health field. My journey began in 1999, working in child and family welfare, and has since evolved into a dedicated practice focused on helping individuals aged 13 and up navigate life's challenges. I believe it is important to create a sense of safety and security in my practice. With safety comes vulnerability, and when we reach that space we will do our best work to help you feel seen, accepted, heard, and loved. Throughout my career, I've supported clients through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including those who feel overwhelmed by the stresses of life, are battling low moods, or find themselves constantly worrying. Whether it's the weight of the past, the pressures of the present, or concerns about the future, I work alongside you to help ease these burdens. I specialize in trauma, adult ADHD, disordered eating, and body image/self-worth concerns. My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with humanistic techniques to create a holistic, strength-based experience for my clients. Having faced my own struggles with body image and self-worth, as well as managing ADHD as an adult, I understand the importance of having a safe, supportive space where you can be vulnerable and feel truly understood. Therapy with me is a partnership where you can expect to be met with empathy, humor, and a genuine desire to help you uncover your strengths and achieve your goals. For those who may find it difficult to open up—especially men. My goal is to create a space where you can tackle what’s on your mind without feeling judged or pushed. We’ll work at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.

Finding yourself stuck, blocked in your efforts to grow and heal? Depth psychology is key. I specialize in helping you discover how to unblock and move forward in your life, especially by working with the information in your unconscious and uncovering what those blocks are all about. As a counselor with over 25 years of experience, I can help with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, family and relationship issues, addiction and crisis of the spirit, I specialize in discovering what is at the core of problems and use a variety of healing and treatment modalities tailored to each client. I’ve found working with the unconscious, especially through dreams, more than anything, helps gain the insight and understanding necessary to heal quickly, permanently and remove the blocks that get in the way of a happier, more successful life. You can’t fix anything until you make it conscious. A wholistic approach that addresses the body, mind and spirit works very well to reveal the fullness of who you are. I have experience working with a variety of counseling modalities, such as cognitive/ behavioral, dream work, hypnosis and alternative methods of healing, in addition to meditation and mindfulness. I’ve worked with couples, families, addicts and clients who are dually diagnosed, meaning they have both mental health and addiction issues.

Here at Live Consciously, we are a group practice dedicated to empowering individuals to heal from trauma and embrace self-love and worthiness. What is the difference in our approach? We strive to break the barriers of traditional therapy by going beyond the mind and facilitating healing for the body as well. Research confirms that the body is what keeps the score, and we recognize that true healing requires addressing both the mind and body. Our team works with adults of all ages to uncover the true source of their suffering. By going to the root of the problem, we help identify and resolve traumas, griefs, and unproductive belief systems that may be holding you back in life. We understand that unresolved childhood experiences often manifest in adulthood as complex trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions and relational difficulties.

Are you struggling to keep up with life’s demands? Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, even when everything seems “fine” on the outside? You’re not alone. My name is Melanie, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides trauma-informed therapy to women, young adults, and teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. I understand how heavy it can feel when you’re constantly giving to others but don’t feel emotionally safe or supported yourself. You may be stuck in survival mode, dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or childhood wounds that still impact how you move through the world. You might crave peace and clarity but struggle to slow down, set boundaries, or fully trust yourself. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or overwhelming. It can be a space where you can finally take a deep breath, be seen without judgment, and begin healing at your own pace. Together, we’ll gently explore the patterns that no longer serve you and identify the internal blocks keeping you stuck. Whether you’re feeling emotionally burnt out, navigating relationship struggles, or trying to reconnect with your sense of self, I’m here to help you find alignment. I bring a warm, supportive presence into every session so you can feel safe to show up exactly as you are. This is your time to prioritize you. Healing is possible—and it begins with feeling seen, supported, and empowered.

New Orleans, TX - Accepting clients in TX

I am a compassionate EMDR trained psychotherapist who values my clients' time. This career path became of interest to me after my time in the military, where I saw many of my friends' lives destroyed by PTSD. I am now committed to healing and advocacy work for veterans and civilians alike suffering from mental health conditions. If you are willing to put in the effort, I will bring strategies to our sessions with proven success rates, and continually monitor your progress so that I can be sure that you are hitting your personal goals and getting relief from your symptoms.

Do you find yourself buying every self-help book but still feeling stuck? Maybe you're the "therapist friend" who has it all figured out for others but can't seem to make progress yourself?

Yeah, it's still showing up in your life today. I get it. Hey! I'm Dr. Ré (Ray), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Financial Social Worker (CFSW) and holistic therapist based in Dallas, TX.
