“I am so pleased I picked "Shayla Escobar"????. This was my first appointment today, and I felt as if we had already had several sessions. I had so much anxiety up until the time of the appointment. She really helped me with all my first appointment anxiety. She definitely listens to everything, and she is so kind. I actually made my second appointment at the end of my session. ”

Getting to know Shayla Escobar
Hello! My name is Shayla.
Do you ever feel anxious or on edge? How about shortness of breath or a racing heartbeat? Or have you experienced a loss of interest in activities you used to love or feelings of emptiness?
I help individuals manage anxiety and depression symptoms. Together, we can identify what is working and what is not to help get you back on track. We'll use a whole-self approach, addressing the needs of both your body and mind. I also integrate mindful techniques to help regulate emotions.
I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas, San Antonio, which informs my compassionate and evidence-based approach.
Seeking therapy can feel scary, but I am proud of you for making this brave decision. I provide a safe space for you to discuss anything without judgment. I'll meet you with compassion and proven techniques so you can observe the source of your pain and begin to heal. Let's work together!
What should a new client know about working with you?
The first session includes discussing confidentiality and limits, and me getting to know you and why you chose to start counseling. The next sessions will be creating and reviewing the treatment plan and therapy goals. Along the way, I do assign homework and/or share information about resources that I think will help you.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She was very sweet, just a seemed a bit unable to fully grasp what I was trying to get to and I believe she’s just young.

I recently met with Shayla for the first time, and the experience was truly refreshing. From the moment we started talking, I felt heard and understood in a way that I hadn't before.
Shayla has this incredible ability to listen without judgment, offering space for me to share my thoughts openly. What stood out the most was how thoughtful and insightful her advice was. It wasn’t just generic or rehearsed; it felt tailored to my situation and helped me see things from a different perspective. I'm looking forward to continuing this journey with Shayla.

She was very sweet and helpful! Unfortunately, I won’t reside in Texas long enough to continue seeing her, but I would highly recommend booking with Dr. Escobar. She listened closely to my concerns and gave great advice, which I appreciate. If you need a therapist and reside in Texas, book with Escobar!

She has a judgement free zone for anything you want to share. She also has the right words to comfort you, and lead in the right direction. She is a realist as well, which I needed.
