Our therapists offer PTSD & trauma therapy in San Antonio, TX

Hello! My name is Kristi Tanaka. I earned my Psy.D. in 2020 and a Master of Social Work from the University of Hawai'i in 2001, and I am credentialed as an LCSW and Board-Certified Diplomate (BCD). From 2009 through 2017, I worked for the Department of Defense at Schofield Barracks Health Clinic and Tripler Army Medical Center, providing therapy to dual-diagnosed service members, with a clinical focus on combat-related PTSD and military family issues. My experience also includes working with the severely and persistently mentally ill, at-risk youth, and children ages zero to three and their families through Easter Seals Hawai'i. 

I offer supportive, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. In our sessions, you will be truly heard without pressure to fix everything at once. Together, we will explore your story, build practical tools for healing and growth, and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. 

In our work together, you can expect to feel more confident, more at ease sharing your story, and even find moments of laughter. My approach is warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth, with a focus on what truly helps you feel better and move forward. If you are ready for care that feels genuine, compassionate, and personal, I would be honored to work with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I bring a compassionate, solution-focused approach to my work. My clients are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, life transitions, or grief and loss. They want to learn coping skills, reduce symptoms, gain self-awareness, heal from past trauma, process grief, and improve communication skills in relationships. Together, we focus on developing self-insight, identifying triggers, and building healthy coping skills to process painful emotions and overcome challenges. I help clients gain the tools and confidence to make positive changes, achieve goals, and move forward to balanced lives.

I earned a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas. My therapeutic style integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused therapy to support clients in achieving meaningful change. I believe you are the expert of your own story and that you possess many strengths to help you overcome life’s challenges.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m proud of you for getting started. Reach out to schedule an appointment today!
