Dr. Justin Lockhart

Therapist

Virtual • San Antonio, TX


Hi, there! My name is Dr. Justin Lockhart, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.

I believe deeply in people’s capacity to grow and change, even when life feels overwhelming. If you’re struggling to manage big feelings, having trouble connecting with the people around you, or just feel like anxiety has you trapped on the business end of a bulldozer, I’m here to help you figure it out.

I work with teens and adults who want to build the tools to overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, mood swings, and relationship problems. Our thoughts, feelings, and experiences are important passengers, but they don’t have to drive the car. Instead, we can learn to find purpose, belonging, and peace even in the toughest of times.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.
