Assessment
(5 Step Process)
Our psychologists and psychometricians work with your family to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
We’ll begin by asking you questions about your child and providing a questionnaire and other intake documents.
We offer developmental, educational, and psychological tests to better understand your child’s needs.
A psychometrist and psychologist will analyze the results, providing a summary of any findings and diagnoses.
We’ll provide you with a list of recommendations for your child’s care, which can include therapy, medication, and/or medical referrals. Â
We’ll discuss your child’s results and options for moving forward. Once we’ve finalized the plan, we’ll quickly transition your child to the next steps.

Therapy
(6 Step Process)
We provide evidence-based play and talk therapy to help children and teens heal, grow, and thrive.
We’ll take time to learn your concerns and your child’s needs. Together, we’ll set treatment goals and expectations. Â
These first weeks of therapy are foundational for getting to know one another and building trust with you and your child.
We call this the “Working Stage” of the process. At this point, it’s common to see resistance and an increase in poor behavior.
During the “Growing Stage” children start to develop coping strategies as they figure out healthier ways to manage behavior, express emotions, and heal.
Children are encouraged to practice their new coping skills. During this stage, they are often better self-regulated and more resilient.
As your child reaches new heights of independence, the time comes to celebrate their readiness to continue this journey with their newfound skills! Â

Medication Management
(4 Step Process)
We offer medication management services to help reduce problematic symptoms and improve treatment outcomes. Â Â
We’ll gather a detailed history of your child’s mental health concerns and discuss if medication management is right for your child. Â
A medication management provider will meet with you and your child and collaborate to develop a comprehensive medication treatment plan.
We will hold periodic check-ins to evaluate the effectiveness of your child’s medication regimen and make adjustments as needed.
Once your child shows consistent improvement and stabilization, we will gradually shift our focus to helping reduce medication dependence and emphasizing other non-pharmacological interventions.
We’ll discuss your child’s results and options for moving forward. Once we’ve finalized the plan, we’ll quickly transition your child to the next steps.

Success Stories
“Highly recommend Mind Works. I am a clinician in Illinois and needed to find a clinic in Texas that could provide services to my client that was moving. This is no easy feat to do across the United States. Mind Works was fabulous to work with from the very beginning. Coordination of care was 5 stars and my “previous” client is very happy with their new counselor. Thank you very much for going above and beyond during this difficult time so many other counseling offices are facing. I appreciate all the help and coordination you offered my client!”
Shelley Skas
“I have known the owners for over 8 years and have taken a family member to Mind Works. Therefore, I can speak of them both personally and professionally. There truly is no better place for this service, especially for children and young adults. On the personal level, I know how much they truly care about everyone they meet. On a professional level, the entire staff is a reflection of the dedication to helping others and competence that gets results that the owners exude. During the incredibly trying time of this pandemic and the fear and anxiety it has caused many people, we are incredibly blessed to have Mind Works available to support.”

Esther Kelly
“The front desk staff is kind and courteous and helped me find the right therapist for my child. When I met my therapist she was kind and explained the process to me. I love that she included me in the play therapy process and helped me understand how to help my child. Thankful for the therapists at Mind Works!”
Amira Maya-Martinez
“Mindworks is the leader in child centered play therapy and collaborative care in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Their focus is solely on the mental health of children and teenagers. Each clinician at all four locations is seasoned, knowledgeable, experienced, and capable. Parents trust that their child is going to get the treatment and services they need and deserve.
I thoroughly enjoyed working as a clinician at Mindworks. The support and leadership is consistent and outstanding. Unlike any other job that I have had, leadership and clinicians work together to cultivate an awesome work environment.”
