Feeling stuck, sad, stressed, angry or easily frustrated, or have any other mood issues that do not seem to go away?

I have had over 30 years of experience working with college students, adults, seniors, various ethnic groups, and LGBTQ clients. I use a varying approach to therapy including CBT which is great for changing negative thoughts and behaviors. I enjoy a comfortable and direct approach in order to help people deal with life's challenges. I am originally from the Boston area.

Hi, I'm the clinical director at Austin Integrative Counseling and Training Center. You can learn about me and the group through our website at: inaustincounseling.com. In short, I've been practicing for more than 26 years and I am as dedicated to the art of therapy as when I started. Relationships are the foundation of good health and sense of well-being -- whether the relationship is with others or with yourself. Sometimes we need to start with the relationship with ourselves, sometimes we can go straight to the relationships with others. Either way, I'm here to help you find your way to what your are wanting in life

I offer psychological evaluations and psychoeducational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. I clarify diagnostic issues related to disturbances in attention, hyperactivity, learning, mood, anxiety, trauma, personality, disruptive behavior, anger, memory, autism, and many other areas. I identify specific issues contributing to students' lack of progress in school and college and help them get the accommodations they need to succeed. I also help students obtain appropriate accommodations for college admission tests (SAT, ACT, GRE, MCAT). I help to determine treatment effectiveness and provide insight into what motivates clients' behaviors. I provide specific and practical recommendations to improve functioning and happiness.

When I do my work, I am always asking myself the question, "What is it that this particular person needs in order to grow?" If I can provide you with an environment that helps you experience growth you will feel better. Personal development is what makes us happy and gives us hope. Most people come to therapy because they are hurting, stuck, and don't know what to do next. I will do my very best to help you find your unique self that you have either lost or not yet found.

Clients present with many concerns, including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, and relationship issues to name a few. Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs, successes and failures. However, when one is stuck in the "downs" and the "failures" we may feel overwhelmed, anxious & depressed. Often one turns to unhealthy coping such as alcohol and drugs, eating, compulsive behaviors - shopping and exercising, isolation or avoidance. Untangling the unique threads of your life; and understanding how they affect you can be the beginning to feeling more in charge and living according to your values and desires.

I invite you to join me in exploring therapy to facilitate healthy and hopeful changes for you. We'll engage in healing conversations to create new experiences that bring insights, relaxation, positive behaviors, confidence, hope and well-being to your life. Whatever your challenges with moods, relationships, career or health, our therapy together will motivate, encourage and guide you to your own answers within. I see clients on weekdays and offer evening and weekend sessions. Please visit my website for videos about my style of therapy and how to schedule a session.

I provide psychotherapy for adults, children, couples and families. I've been in practice for over thirty years. Please visit my website ( www.kkpsychology.com ) to learn more about my qualifications. I look forward to talking with you.

For many the decision to come into counseling or bring a child into counseling is a big step. My goal is to help ease this time for you through building a therapeutic relationship and helping to equip you with tools to ease these seasons in your life. I have been in private practice for the past 4 years. My background includes working with women in recovery for a variety of issues, including: codependency, depression, anxiety and abuse, as well as ten years experience with school age children in the public schools.

I have been serving families for 12 years. I have a passion for counseling adolescents up to adults that are struggling. Children and adults with ADHD often struggle to learn coping skills or self-regulation. Adults diagnosed with ADHD can also benefit from family or individual counseling. The symptoms a child or adult experiences with ADHD does not only effect the person with ADHD but the whole family. In counseling the child or adult skills are learned; such as children learn to calm themselves in different situations, be more self-aware and find words to go with their feelings.

Many of life's stressors continue to interfere with the potential joys of life, we can work together to help you minimize the effect of life's stressors so you can begin to enjoy life to the fullest.

My work focuses on helping people struggling with addiction and/or symptoms resulting from childhood relational trauma Over 25 years of experience, I have seen that childhood experiences of neglect or emotional, physical and sexual abuse can cause serious psychological problems. 'Less than nurturing' parenting can cause adulthood anxiety, depression and addiction. Many of my clients have struggled with addictive behaviors using substances (alcohol, drugs) or processes (sex, love, work) to deal with emotional pain. There is a high correlation between painful childhood experiences and addictive behaviors.

NOTE: I do not have any current availability. I'm only accepting telehealth clients. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction and other life challenges. The time you take, as well as, the effort you invest in and outside of therapy may help you realize central themes in your life and what you can to do to create a positive change. As you share with me your personal story/situation, I will help you gain skills and "tools" intended to move you closer towards reaching your personal value based goals.

Lucy in the Peanuts cartoon once said, "to be happy you also have to be sad sometimes; then you're really happy." I agree! Life is about engagement with all of your feelings. How do you relate to your life? Are you finding challenges, aliveness, connection to self and others? Do you have a sense of meaning or is life just something to get through? Are you living or just existing? I strive to assist clients in being closer, more alive, connected, and vibrant, embracing the highs and the lows of life with more balance and acceptance.

Please Note: I am not taking new clients at this time. Do you feel overwhelmed at times? Are your normal coping skills failing to help you with life events and transitions? Are you feeling depressed, anxious or lost? Are your relationships stressed and leaving you feeling alone? You do not need to struggle alone. Therapy can give you a place to pause and breathe, gain some clarity and calm, revive your coping skills and add new perspectives. It provides a supportive place where everyone feels listened to and understood. Often it leads to amazing change, healing and growth.

My practice is divided between therapy & assessment. I enjoy each and feel privileged to be able to do both - they are mutually enriching. My Ph.D. is from UT Austin. I have a B.S. in Biology (Santa Clara Univ.) and an M.P.A. (George Washington Univ.). I founded the National Organization to Treat A-T, which funds treatment research for a rare disease that my son had. My greatest privilege has been to be Mom to my three children.

As a compassionate and seasoned therapist, I am passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families through life's challenges. With over two decades of experience, I work with my clients to more effectively deal with relationship conflicts, emotional difficulties, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, and I tailor each treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Throughout my career, I have empowered folks to overcome adversity and build more fulfilling lives.

My clients include struggling college students, couples in conflict, families in disarray, substance abusers, employers worried about an employee, seniors who lost a spouse or adjusting to aging, daughters in conflicts with their mothers, women in violent relationships. I use writing for wellness. I have created a 6-week intensive writing course to guide clients through PTSD and other stressors. I have taught this course online around the world and in sessions.

Nothing goes away until it has taught you what you need to know: My goal is for every person I work with is to move through issues to discover what they are here to teach us so we can achieve sustaining joy and a peaceful mind without worry anxiety or limitations.
