Therapy for Insightful, Empathetic Therapists
When the Therapist Chair Gets Heavy
Therapy for Therapists in San Antonio
You’ve dedicated yourself to holding space for others, sitting with their grief, tending to their trauma, helping them untangle complicated family dynamics, and walking beside them as they navigate life’s messiest, most beautiful moments.
As a trauma and attachment therapist myself, I understand the weight of this work, not just professionally, but personally.
Even the most grounded, compassionate counselors need a soft place to land. And if you’re here, reading this, you probably already know:
It’s your turn.
Whether you’re a therapist in San Antonio, Austin, or anywhere else in Texas, I offer therapy and counseling created just for you. A space where you don’t have to be the calm, wise, “together” one.
You just get to be…human.

Therapist Burnout is Real
You show up for your clients every day - holding their pain, celebrating their wins, and helping them reconnect with their own strength. But what about your own nervous system, carrying the weight of that trauma vicariously?
Who holds space for your grief, your weariness, your secret fears that maybe, just maybe, you’re supposed to do this all on your own?
As therapists, our own attachment wounds and trauma histories can be stirred up through this deep emotional labor - and if left unaddressed, burnout and compassion fatigue can follow.
I hear this too often:
⤍ “I should be able to handle this myself.”
⤍ “If I’m struggling, what does that say about me as a therapist?”
⤍ “I don’t want to be a burden.”
Let’s stop and think about this for a second. None of those stories are true. And you don’t have to take this on by yourself anymore.
Counseling for Therapists in San Antonio
Therapy for therapists isn’t a luxury - it’s a necessity.
It’s where you take off the counselor hat, drop the emotional backpack you’ve been hauling around, and say: This is hard. I need support, too.
That doesn’t make you less capable of a therapist. It makes you whole.
Signs You May Be Experiencing Burnout, Compassion Fatigue & Vicarious Trauma
You Might Recognize This If You:
⇨ Feel drained from deeply connecting with clients’ stories day in and day out.
⇨ Notice your own attachment wounds and old trauma stirring, and countertransference surfacing.
⇨ Feel overwhelmed by vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and emotional exhaustion.
⇨ Feel isolated - you’re the steady one, until you hit your limit.
⇨ Are constantly threading the needle - holding boundaries feels impossible when you’re depleted.
And underneath it all?
You miss just being you - not the therapist, not the expert.

FAQ: Therapy for Therapists
-
Therapy for therapists recognizes the unique emotional labor, compassion fatigue, and countertransference challenges you face.
It’s a space tailored to what you need personally and professionally for yourself, incorporating trauma-informed approaches to address your own attachment wounds and the impact of your own personal trauma and/or your clients’ trauma.
-
Therapists often carry their own unresolved attachment injuries or trauma histories, which can resurface in sessions as countertransference or burnout.
Addressing these underlying issues in therapy helps build resilience and clearer boundaries in your professional and personal life.

Of course! I work with LPC-Associates who want a supportive, confidential space to tend to their own mental health while they build their practice.
Therapy complements supervision beautifully, helping you navigate the personal challenges that come up as you grow into this work.
