Joan Deming-Combs

On the outside, you may appear capable and put together. Inside, you may be exhausted from overthinking, taking care of everyone else, trying to get everything right, or feeling that no matter how much you do, you are still not enough. Relationships may leave you feeling unseen, anxious, or unsure of your own needs. I work with men and women who want to understand these patterns, heal old emotional wounds, build healthier boundaries, and feel more secure in themselves and their relationships.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in attachment, emotional processing, self-compassion, mindfulness, and practical change. Together, we will explore what is happening beneath the anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or relationship struggles—not simply manage the symptoms.

I will help you understand your patterns, strengthen your voice and boundaries, relate to yourself with greater compassion, and create healthier ways of connecting with the people who matter. I offer in-person counseling in San Angelo and secure telehealth throughout Texas, accept many major insurance plans, and currently have a limited number of openings.
