Sofia Santillan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Antonio, TX


Hola, I’m Sofia! I know reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and I want you to know you’re not alone in it. My hope is to offer a space where you can be yourself, and feel genuinely understood. I believe healing happens in connection, when we feel safe enough to explore our stories, our bodies, and the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to hide. In our work, we may create space to listen to the wisdom of your body, using somatic practices to help release what’s been held and create space for more ease, clarity, and self-trust.

Crystal Slaughter

Crystal Slaughter

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi, I’m Crystal. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas State University. I’ve spent the last four years focused on counseling and therapy, along with nearly 10 years of prior experience in clinical social work and case management. My background allows me to support clients navigating complex life challenges with both compassion and practical guidance.

I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, and other trauma-related experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can process your experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
