Courage is not an absence of fear. It’s doing things scared… If you’ve come this far, you are stronger than you know. No Hero completes a quest alone.

Sword to fight the challenges of trauma, pregnancy, postpartum, and infertility.
Therapy in the Texas Hill Country with Anna Beth Reid

Anna Beth Reid, MA, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor • Trauma Specialist • Self-Defense Instructor

I’m Anna Beth, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I see clients both in person (in Bandera, Boerne, and Kerrville) and virtually across Texas.

Fertility, Pregnancy and Postpartum: I offer compassionate therapy services for individuals and couples navigating infertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period. My work supports clients through the emotional challenges of fertility treatments, pregnancy after loss, and the complex transition into parenthood. Using a gentle, body-centered and values-based approach, therapy focuses on building resilience, emotional steadiness, and connection during seasons that are often filled with both hope and grief.

Trauma: I am passionate about helping women and teen girls heal, grow, and reclaim strength after trauma. I specialize in supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and childhood trauma. Much of my career has been spent helping survivors of violence heal; from holding their hands in the ER for a SAFE (sexual assault forensic exam), processing the trauma in therapy, to making plans for the future. I walk with my clients from surviving to thriving. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in trauma-informed care. With over a decade of martial arts and self-defense training, I integrate movement and body awareness into therapy to help clients reconnect with their sense of power. I hold a second-degree black belt in Moo Do Kwan Taekwondo and a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I teach trauma-informed self-defense as a tool for healing and confidence.
