My name is Virginia and I am a bilingual licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in the Stone Oak area in San Antonio, TX.  As a therapist, I provide support and guidance in a sensitive, empathetic, and nonjudgmental atmosphere.  In counseling, I use a variety of approaches and expressive therapeutic techniques such as play, art, and writing that best fit my client in order to help facilitate self understanding and personal empowerment. Throughout the therapeutic process, we will work collaboratively to identify personal strengths and skills that can be used to enhance the ability to cope, diminish life difficulties, and improve relationships.

I completed my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Mary’s University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in diverse settings from emergency shelters to private practice. Through those experiences, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of areas of concern such as grief and loss, depression, self-harming behaviors, anxiety, self-worth, boundaries, social skills, acculturation, sexual abuse, exposure to community violence, trafficking, and trauma.
