Couples Counseling:

Every couple has highs and lows in their relationship. That loving communication, appreciation, and understanding are more easily described than carried-out in real life. When couples find themselves off-track, it does not mean the relationship is over. It often means that the couple just needs a little help. When trust has been lost, partners may be able to rebuild it. When couples are pulling in different direction, they can re-evaluate their priorities. When intimacy has been lost, that spark can be reignited. Couples therapy is not a magic formula to save a relationship, but it often helps. Skilled therapists can often turn challenges into opportunities for partners to grow closer to each other.

That is why Thriveworks San Antonio offers couples therapy. Many partners who want a better relationship do not always know how to improve their connection. Our therapists have helped many couples learn how to improve their relationship.

Family Therapy:

Whether or not you and your family need to see a therapist depends on your situation and personal opinions-it's a consensus you’ll need to reach together. However, it may be helpful to keep in mind that there are several indications of negative family dynamics that you can watch out for, including:

• Undiagnosed mental health conditions or disorders
• Alcohol or drug addiction
• Physical or verbal abuse
• Feelings of resentment or hostility
• Unruly behavioral issues in children or teens
• Persistent anxiety over financial issues or relationship difficulties

Suppose you or a loved one is seeking an immigration waiver or filing to petition a judge to grant a suspension of deportation. In that case, a clinical evaluation can help strengthen your case. Four types of immigration waivers can benefit from a clinical mental health evaluation:

• Extreme Hardship Waivers (I-601)
• U-Visa (Victims of Crime)
• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA-Domestic Violence)
• Political Asylum

Understanding that each individual’s experience is unique, a safe environment is provided to help the client report any underlying circumstances to help present a compelling case. My personal experience attending St. Mary’s University allowed me to meet peers from across the globe. Traveling throughout Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East further reinforced my admiration and respect for other cultures and faiths.

I am privileged to have worked on evaluations for people from Mexico, Central & South America, China, and India. As a bilingual clinician licensed by the Texas Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors, I am also a graduate of the Immigration Evaluation Institute.

Coaching is a bit different from traditional psychotherapy or counseling in that its focus is more goal-directed.

Whereas traditional therapy may have you spend weeks exploring past events to recognize how they have contributed to current moods and behaviors, parenting coaching helps you choose a goal (get my child to do their homework without a daily tantrum) and offers tried and true techniques to help get the outcomes you desire.

Parenting coaching is for any parent who wishes to resolve behavioral struggles with their children. These struggles can include typical daily struggles such as:

• Morning routines
• Homework struggles
• Sibling bickering

But coaching can also help with more demanding behaviors that push the parent’s skillset. These include:

• Dealing with a strong-willed child
• Getting a picky eater to eat
• Engaging with an angry or defiant teenager
• Guiding a child with Attention Deficit issues

FUNdamental Sports includes three core principles:

• Foundational Skills
• Unified Partners
• No Limits.

This program establishes individualized programs for athletes ages two and older who, due to their physical and/or developmental abilities, are working on foundational motor skills to prepare them for possible competitions in official Special Olympics events.

As the athlete learns the sport progressions, he/she comes closer to acquiring skills considered essential for participation in official Special Olympics competitions and daily life activities.

FUNdamental Sports athletes participate in a variety of sports that have been adapted to accommodate all ability levels.

Participation is accomplished through the use of adapted equipment and physical assistance that are matched to the individual’s level of need. Athletes are not limited in the number or types of equipment and assistance that is used in order to achieve success.

Through the inclusion of Unified Partners as one-on-one assistants, the athletes and partners have the opportunity to develop friendships. Additionally, the Unified Partners will have the opportunity to grow in their awareness of the athletes’ unique abilities.
