Our counselors provide therapy in San Antonio, TX

I've worked in social services since 2013 and as a therapist since 2019. I work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next and are ready for support. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and work toward the changes you desire. I believe therapy should be personalized—everyone's experiences and needs differ. Together, we build coping skills, improve communication, strengthen relationships, navigate transitions, and help you feel confident. Whether seeking practical tools, self-understanding, or a safe space to process, I'm here to meet you and support your movement.

My approach is trauma-informed and evidence-based. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These help you understand thought-behavior connections, process experiences, develop coping skills, and move toward meaningful life aligned to values.

Starting therapy can feel challenging. You don't need everything figured out beforehand. Wherever you are, I meet you with compassion and without judgment. If you're ready to understand yourself better and create meaningful change, I invite you to schedule an appointment. You deserve support as you move toward greater confidence and fulfillment in your life.

I'm Nargis Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master of Arts in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. I believe we all have unique strengths that help us navigate life's challenges. Seeking support through counseling is one way to rediscover and foster them. Since 2016, I have worked with both children and adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and life transitions. My clients seek to build practical coping strategies, process painful experiences, or find emotional balance. My goal is to collaborate with you to create a secure path toward healing and personal growth.

My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Family therapy to meet your unique needs. You can expect a gentle, nonjudgmental space where we target specific goals, process trauma, and develop practical coping skills. Together, we will build on your strengths to help you navigate transitions and find lasting relief.

Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care. Wherever you are on your path, please know you do not have to walk it alone. I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and respect. When you are ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to connect with me and schedule your first session.
