Why Us?
Saname Counseling is an affirming space where growth, change, and healing are prioritized for all folx. We strongly believe in creating a road-map for change that is specific to you, removing the emphasis on traditional “talk therapy”. Therapists at Saname Counseling address not only your thoughts but also your behaviors and the connection between your mind and body. Within your first six sessions, you’ll acquire valuable coping skills to ease your symptoms. As you progress in treatment, you’ll delve deeper into enhancing your mind-body connection, fostering self-compassion, healing past wounds, addressing unhealthy attachments, and discovering your authentic self.
Through tailored, targeted interventions, Saname Counseling therapists help you modify behaviors, transform thought patterns, heal traumas, and enhance the mind-body connection. In my 9+ years of counseling experience, clients have shown significant progress after learning about the interconnectedness of their behavioral, cognitive, and somatic experiences. This holistic, action-oriented approach is at the center of my practice.
Meet Our Founder
Johanna Torres, MS, LPC-S
I founded Saname Counseling with a clear South Padre Island: to close the mental health gaps in our community for women, LGBTQ+ folx, and people of color. I saw the need for a practice that not only offered high-quality care but also reflected the diversity of the communities it served. Creating a group practice was a leap I had to take to make the changes I wanted to see in mental health care in South Texas.
In the early stages of my career, I struggled with high-functioning anxiety and perfectionism. It was through my own healing journey, supported by therapy, that I learned how healing and lifesaving mental health care could be. I wanted to create a space where others could access that same kind of life-changing support. This is why Saname Counseling was born—not just as a private practice, but as a collective of like-minded, passionate therapists dedicated to filling the gaps in care that often go unaddressed.
At Saname Counseling, we focus on providing trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming care for all clients. This group practice allows us to reach more people and create meaningful change in how mental health care is delivered and experienced.
