Hi, I’m Dr. Bertha Rodarte
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychologist located in San Antonio, Texas. I work with individuals who need support to reclaim peace and connection. I provide internet-based psychotherapy to high functioning individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and health problems. I have specialized training in bariatric evaluations/issues, trauma recovery, and chronic pain. In addition, I have extensive experience in psychological evaluations.
Together we can work to explore coping strategies and a new language for emotions. In therapy, you will learn tools to challenge thoughts that lead to uncomfortable emotions. We will explore connections between current emotional responses to past experiences or learned behaviors. We will build bridges to healthy coping when you experience anxiety or depression. I work to assist individuals reach their full potential by providing a safe place to discuss traumas, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that hinder growth. My passion is to work with assisting patients to find inner peace and healthy connection with others.
It is an honor to work with veterans. Having started my career serving our veteran population I have great understanding of issues related to combat, MST, & other traumas.
Begin
Seeking out support is often difficult. Taking the first step is the beginning of a new journey to a healthier you. You are worth thriving in life and not just surviving. Life comes with many challenges that shape us. At some point, we recognize our patterns of behavior or old coping styles no longer work. Assessment can assist to understand what is happening. Therapy can be a way to work through experiences and learn tools to cope in a healthier way. I will work with you to gain insight and provide support each step of the way.
