Professional statement

Charity Gegenheimer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate based in San Antonio, specializing in the treatment of anxiety, complex trauma, and relational distress. Her practice is a dedicated space for individuals and couples who feel "stuck" in cycles of worry or are struggling to move past painful histories. support for neurodivergent adults looking to better understand their unique cognitive styles.

In her work with individuals, Charity moves beyond traditional talk therapy by utilizing EMDR. This approach allows her to address the "stuck" somatic symptoms of trauma and anxiety that logic alone cannot reach. She also incorporates Parts Work, helping clients understand the different internal voices—such as the inner critic or the perfectionist—that often drive anxious behaviors. When working with couples, Charity utilizes the Gottman Method that uses evidence-based tools to de-escalate conflict, build friendship, and repair the emotional bond.

Charity’s professional background is rooted in a "bottom-up" philosophy of mental health, focusing on nervous system regulation as the foundation for emotional change. By combining clinical expertise with a compassionate, trauma-informed lens, she helps her clients build resilience against the physiological effects of stress. Her client leaves therapy not just with "coping skills," but with a fundamental shift in how they experience safety within their own bodies and relationships.

Charity welcomes clients at her office in San Antonio, Texas, and offers the convenience telehealth sessions for residents across the entire state. She provides a collaborative, professional atmosphere where the focus is always on the client’s personal revival and long-term wellness. Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition, healing from past wounds, or seeking to strengthen your partnership, Charity is committed to guiding you through the process with skill and empathy.
