Counseling Practice – In The Here And Now Counseling PLLC
In The Here And Now Counseling PLLC is located at 8000 Fair Oaks Parkway, Fair Oaks, Texas 78015. The practice is led by Ralph A. Porter, who holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC).
The practice specializes in Gestalt therapy and what it describes as “Here and Now” therapy approaches, which center on present-moment awareness and the holistic integration of thoughts, feelings, and actions. Specific techniques referenced on the site include role-playing, empty chair work, and exploration of bodily sensations. The therapeutic philosophy emphasizes self-awareness and personal responsibility, supporting clients in identifying patterns and triggers while encouraging conscious choice-making in daily life.
Services offered include individual therapy and couples therapy. Presenting concerns addressed include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, addictions, and personality disorders. Personality disorder-related work described on the site covers borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and schizoid personality disorder. The practice also addresses general daily life challenges and stress-related concerns.
Life coaching services are offered alongside clinical counseling. The practice’s stated approach distinguishes between coaching-oriented support for goal achievement and clinical counseling for mental health and addiction concerns, with Porter’s dual licensure in professional counseling and chemical dependency allowing him to serve clients across both tracks.
A free phone consultation is available for prospective clients. Session booking is available through an external scheduling link on the practice website. The Fair Oaks location in the San Antonio metro area of Texas positions the practice to serve clients in Bexar County and the surrounding Hill Country communities.
