Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Bulverde, TX

"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." Welcome, my name is Peju and I a a licensed professional counselor in Texas. With over 10 years of practice, I firmly believe that our past and current situations do not define who we are. Instead, it is our ability to rise and push through our struggles that allows us to grow into the person we are destined to become.

I am a therapist with over 30 years of experience working in a variety of treatment center settings, helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and care. Throughout my career, I have specialized in treating abuse-related concerns and supporting clients in their healing journey. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults, providing a safe and supportive space for growth, recovery, and resilience. My broad professional background has allowed me to serve diverse populations and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs.

I’m Elizabeth, a Filipina American Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Her Mind & Wellness. My practice is built on the belief that mental‐health care should feel human, culturally aware, and deeply supportive.

I believe healing happens when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My practice blends modern psychiatry with a nurturing, human approach — creating a space where you can breathe, reset, and rebuild your wellness with guidance that feels gentle, clear, and empowering.

If you've spent your life providing, surviving, and holding things together for everyone else, therapy can feel like one more thing to manage. I work with men and working people who are tired of feeling anxious, isolated, or stuck, and who want to feel like themselves again. As a bilingual therapist raised in San Antonio, I understand the pressures of low wages, generational trauma, and the expectation to keep pushing no matter what. Whether you're navigating relationships, identity, or stress that never fully turns off, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor and 5th year postgraduate Psychoanalytic Scholar with the Dallas Psychoanalytic Center. I have a passion for helping others find deep, lasting change as opposed to mere symptom relief.

I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identities and those impacted by trauma. I had the privilege of launching the first PTSD Intensive Outpatient Program for U.S. military in Korea, treating sexual, childhood, and combat-related trauma, and this experience, combined with my analytic background, largely informs my approach to care.

My approach to therapy is warm, culturally attuned, and practical. I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel safe, understood, and supported while also gaining tools they can use in their daily lives.

As a multilingual therapist offering services in English, Farsi, and Turkish, I bring a culturally responsive lens to my work. I understand the complexities of navigating identity, family expectations, and cross-cultural experiences, and I strive to create a space where all parts of your story are respected.

I value collaboration and tailor each session to meet your individual needs. Whether you are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, we will move at a pace that feels right for you while still maintaining forward progress.

My goal is not only to help you feel better, but to help you build the skills and confidence to manage challenges independently and create lasting change.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Army veteran, I specialize in working with young African American veterans who are navigating depression, anxiety, military transition, identity shifts, and the challenges of civilian life. I understand that life after service is not always straightforward. Many people, including veterans, find themselves struggling with purpose, relationships, career decisions, and mental health concerns while trying to adjust to a new chapter.

As a female veteran, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. Those experiences help me create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and empowered.
