As a therapist, I specialize in trauma recovery and the treatment of phobias, using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with children, adolescents, and young adults ages 5 to 25. Together, we’ll work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and find practical tools to help you or your child move forward.

In addition to EMDR, I’m trained in multiple trauma-informed approaches, including Sandtray Therapy and Play Therapy. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all method to healing, so I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences.

I also offer parent support through dedicated "Parent Sessions," where I provide coaching, education, and guidance to help families support their child’s growth and healing at home. I view therapy as a family-centered process — not just individual work — and I'm passionate about empowering caregivers along the way.

I provide both in-person and virtual sessions through Bending Willows Wellness PLLC in the San Antonio area. I am licensed in Texas and offer virtual therapy to clients across the state. Virtual sessions are available for ages 8 and up, while children ages 5–7 are seen in person.

I help clients work through anxiety and trauma in a way that feels human, supportive, and grounded. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical—I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can actually happen.

My approach is holistic, combining emotional processing with practical tools for everyday life. It’s not just about understanding the past—it’s about building the skills you need to thrive in the present. I tailor my work to each person’s unique needs, especially when supporting trauma survivors, neurodivergent individuals (including those with ADHD or autism), and those managing PTSD, trauma or grief.

I help professionals navigate and overcome mental health hurdles for enhanced success and well-being, by fostering resilience through personalized treatment.

As a special needs dad, a former Spanish teacher, former school counselor (MEdSC), and nurse (MSN), I bring a broad range of experiences to my clients. As a nurse, I have worked PACU, ER, and geriatrics. My goal is to work with the client to reach their goals through the use of counseling, supplements, and medication as needed. I enjoy using belief systems as part of my counseling if desired.

Like many providers, I have worked with many clients with depression, mania, and anxiety. As a previous teacher/school counselor, I understand the impact of ADHD on the student, the classroom, the teacher, and the family.

I think it is important for prospective clients to know that I want to help both now and in the future. For this reason, there are drugs that I don't prescribe (stimulants and benzos) because of the long-lasting side effects.

My hobbies include playing the piano, singing, gardening and family.

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist offering therapy to individuals and couples. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University Los Angeles with an emphasis in Spiritual and Depth Psychology. I traveled to Japan to study Mindfulness from a Zen buddhism lens. I have worked with a variety of individuals ranging from toddlers to older adults, which has allowed me to develop a versatile process that helps the client wherever they may be on their life path.

Hi, I’m Madeleine Vaughters, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and the owner of Shadow and Sun Counseling. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy and strive to create a warm, compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.

"More than just listening—real tools for real change."

You shouldn’t have to walk out of therapy wondering, “What was the point of that?” But far too many people do. I can’t tell you how often I hear, “My last therapist just nodded and listened... but nothing actually changed.”

That’s not how I work.

Therapy with me isn’t about endlessly rehashing your past without a plan. It’s about creating real momentum. Yes, I’ll listen deeply—because your story matters—but I won’t stop there. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and I’ll show you exactly how to challenge them with evidence-based tools that work in the real world, not just in theory.

Every session is designed to give you something solid: a breakthrough insight, a practical strategy, a new way of seeing yourself that leaves you feeling just a little more capable, a little more hopeful, and a lot more empowered.

This is therapy with traction. We’ll get into the hard stuff—but we’ll also focus on what’s next. I’ll help you build skills to regulate your emotions, navigate relationships, set boundaries, quiet that inner critic, and stop repeating the same frustrating cycles. You don’t have to settle for simply surviving. We’ll work toward something better: clarity, confidence, and real change that lasts beyond the therapy room.
