Individual and couples THERAPIST IN San antonio, texas

IT’S TIME TO INVEST IN A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER FUTURE.

I’m Swapomthi Govindaraju, MA, LPC

(She/Her)

I’m a licensed professional counselor with years of experience working with clients of all ages and backgrounds. I’m a San Antonio native, a mother of 3, a first generation American, and a person who has experienced loss.

More than anything, I come to you as an equal and fellow human on this journey towards wellness. I give you permission to be yourself and say what you need to say in a safe and supportive space.

I work with individuals 13+, couples and families. I work hard to create an environment of compassion and positivity because I’ve been on a therapist’s couch before and I know just how important that was to me. If any of this resonates with you…

You’re in the right spot.

Fees: $100/individual session, $125/couple or family session

Hola! I'm Marleth Garza, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, proud dog mom, and matcha enthusiast. I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley and earned my M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.

As a bilingual therapist, I care deeply about creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly yourself. I know how tough change can be, and I want you to know—you don’t have to go through it alone.My goal is to help you feel empowered to be your authentic self and grow into the best version of you.

I work with individuals (ages 5+), couples, and families, and I specialize in self-esteem, life transitions, grief, mindfulness, and building a more positive outlook. I draw from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

Fees: $75/individual session, $100/couples or family session

How we work

At the core of our approach to therapy is a belief that you are your own best expert.

Imagine you're talking to someone who genuinely cares about you and wants to understand your feelings and thoughts without judging you. They're not there to give you advice or tell you what to do, but to listen attentively and help you figure things out for yourself. That is my approach to therapy.

I work hard to create a safe space where you can freely express yourself, whether it's about your challenges, concerns, or even your dreams. The focus is on you, your feelings, and your experiences.

The goal of therapy isn't to give you solutions or advice. Instead, it's to help you explore your own feelings and thoughts, which can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth. Over time, you might find that this process helps you become more confident in making choices and dealing with challenges.


Here’s what we believe about therapy:

This isn't about becoming someone "different."

The goal of therapy is to help you become the best version of yourself, not to turn you into someone else entirely. It's about understanding your strengths, learning how to cope with challenges, and finding ways to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life while staying true to who you are.

The best investment you can make is in yourself.

In essence, going to therapy is an investment in your overall well-being, personal growth, and happiness. It's a proactive step toward living a more fulfilling and balanced life, and the benefits extend far beyond the therapy room.

⟶

You are inherently deserving of healthy, loving relationships.

Therapy helps you work through the barriers that might have led you to doubt your worthiness of healthy, loving relationships. It guides you toward a more compassionate and accepting view of yourself, allowing you to build and maintain relationships that are based on mutual respect, love, and understanding.
