Lizbeth K. Garcia-Bravo, PhD
Bilingual Licensed Psychologist

I am a bilingual licensed psychologist specializing in individual psychotherapy and psychological assessment for adults. I have a passion for helping clients live their best and most purposeful lives at every stage of life using insight-oriented methods. I primarily work with high-achieving, high-functioning professionals who may be feeling overwhelmed, alone, or stuck. My primary goal is to ensure that you feel validated and supported. Together we will identify your strengths, help you gain a better understanding of your underlying difficulties, develop a calmer mind, and work in a new direction to achieve your goals and live according to your values. My belief is that you are your own expert, and we can work collaboratively to strengthen your authentic self without compromising your drive for excellence.

I have extensive experience working with adults with a wide range of clinical issues, including anxiety, depression/mood difficulties, self-criticism/self-doubt, perfectionism, irritability/anger, stress and burn out, work/life balance issues, relationship concerns, sleep issues, career concerns, Adult ADHD, grief & loss, rehabilitation for survivors of brain injury, caregiver burden, aging issues, and adjustment difficulties. My style is warm and down to earth, and my theoretical orientation draws from humanistic, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies. Compassion, fostering insight, mindfulness, and identifying personal strengths are central aspects of my practice. I am a native Spanish speaker and provide individual therapy and assessment services in both English and Spanish.

Regarding my personal life, I was raised in Houston and have lived in Texas my entire life. After spending a few years in Austin and Houston, my husband and I decided to settle down in San Antonio to raise our family. We have two amazing kids and one dog. In my free time, I enjoy gardening (hydroponics and outdoor), trying out new restaurants, volunteering at pet rescue organizations and our kids’ schools, traveling, and attending live music concerts.
