Lizbeth K. Garcia-Bravo, PhD
Bilingual Licensed Psychologist

I am a bilingual licensed psychologist specializing in psychological assessment and individual psychotherapy. I have a passion for helping adults live their best and most purposeful lives at every stage of life. 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.

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 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. I am a native Spanish speaker and provide assessment and individual therapy services in both English and Spanish.

Regarding my personal life, I’ve lived in Texas my entire life and happy to call San Antonio my home. I’m married and have two young children. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, volunteering at my kids’ school, baking, gardening, going to live concerts, and trying out new restaurants.
