Therapists in 78751

I am a therapist trained to listen, nurture and work with you. This might be repairing relationships, healing from trauma, recovering from addiction, managing anxiety or depression.  I see clients both face to face in my office as well as online within the state of Texas through HIPAA-compliant confidential video. Clients come to therapy when life is not working. Joining with a therapist allows patterns to be investigated and altered, insight to be gained and distress to be tolerated. With guidance, clients set goals for therapy and I work to meet those goals. They are a benchmark for progress.

I provide psychotherapy services to both individuals and couples for a variety of reasons. I have assisted clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress or need help with anger management, assertiveness, marital discord or maybe need coaching for personal growth and development. I use an integrated practice style that is both strength-based and goal-oriented. Depending on what you want to work on, I may utilize various evidence-based approaches based upon the presenting problem. As long as goals are safe and ethical, my goal is to help you achieve yours in a relaxed and non-judgmental environment.

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience in the field of addiction treatment, trauma and relationship issues. I have formerly worked as a Director of Intake for Clearview Treatment Programs and I facilitated the Outpatient Substance Abuse program for Cedars Sinai Hospital. In 2009 I co-founded One to One Treatment Program. In addition I am trained in EMDR and Biofeedback. Currently I work private practice in central Austin.

I will demonstrate a full and accepting understanding of your difficulties, and I will listen keenly and show complete respect. I work to make sessions time-effective, frequent when needed and intermittent when feasible. We'll collaborate toward pragmatic solutions, and work toward your goals, not mine. I will challenge you and exert "gentle" pressure at times. I check regularly on how you feel about the therapy process and our working relationship. The quality of our working relationship is fundamental. We expect problems to arise at times, and we take care of them right away.

Making the decision to begin counseling can be difficult, and finding a therapist that is a good match can be equally overwhelming. I work to create a comfortable, safe, and supportive environment to make it easier to start the process. Everyone enters therapy at a different emotional place, and I work to meet clients where they are. Although I use various methods, my approach is relational because the most powerful catalyst for change is the relationship that we create together during our sessions. I want your therapy to be meaningful to you, and I am upfront and engaging during sessions.

Are you struggling with relationships? Do you suffer from deep anxiety or depression? Do you feel stuck or alone? Through my facilitation and guidance of the therapeutic process combined with the safety created in the space between us, we can work toward healing. Therapy with me is highly relational, as I recognize the importance of establishing trust and safety in order for therapy to happen. As a therapist, I utilize an integrative, holistic approach, with IFS, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Attachment theory as anchoring modalities. My areas of focus include generalized anxiety & depression, relationships & trauma.

I have been in private practice 20 + years in the Austin area and worked with a number of different resources and population. I work very hard to listen to my clients and understand their concerns. I believe in empowerment and know that we can make the changes we want.

Most people I work with want help connecting with others more deeply. Some want help with depression or anxiety. And others want help identifying and meeting some needs in life, love, or work. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with people who want to improve their relationships with others, increase their emotional communication, and identify their needs in life.  I bring a natural curiosity as well as empathy and compassion when helping you work through some of the barriers that may get in the way of you reaching your goals.

Have you tried therapy approaches like talk therapy or CBT and feel like you have only gotten benefits up to a certain point? My approach is different than talk therapy and may be a good fit for you. Difficulties like consistent anxiety, depression, relationship issues and trouble feeling or expressing emotions are usually all connected to deeper, core experiences that were hard to experience when they happened. I want to help my clients find core resolution, not just temporary relief. I create a container that enables you to heal your nervous system, build emotional resiliency and change how you relate to yourself and others.

Are you tired of feeling depressed? anxious? or just not sure your life is where you want it to be? Have you reached the end of your rope and are unsure how to proceed? Maybe you need someone to help you sort through the pros and cons of an important decision? If you see yourself in one (or some other) of these spots, I would like to talk with you about how psychotherapy might be helpful for you.

I believe that we are all predisposed to live happy, healthy, balanced lives. However, sometimes life experiences and nagging feelings of depression and anxiety can slow us down, making us feel stuck and hopeless. If this is where you are and would like to move toward more relaxation, peace, abundance, and joy in your life, I am here to help.

I am a doctoral-level psychologist specializing in trauma resolution, attachment-related issues, relationship problems, and postpartum mood disorders. I facilitate healing by helping people connect deeply to themselves and others. People tend to seek me out when they feel stuck with their suffering and difficult feelings, and I imagine this is the case with you too. You've tried lots of things to move forward from the residuals of disappointing relationships, traumas, or depression and anxiety, but it isn't happening. Relief has been only temporary at best.

The pace, constant changes and stress of life can often feel like too much to manage alone. Through building a supportive and trusting relationship, we can work together to build on the skills and qualities you already have. My practice focuses primarily on working with adults of all gender identities dealing with a variety of issues, including difficult transitions, depression and anxiety, self-esteem, developmental trauma, and emotion regulation.

Using an integrative and holistic approach, I will help you identify and achieve goals, cultivate internal resources to help navigate challenging emotions, and gain insight and self-awareness. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people from diverse backgrounds.

Sometimes we all need extra support or a safe place to turn when life seems overwhelming or confusing. Therapy can offer that support and provide a place to talk about things that may be difficult to share with anyone else. Whether you are struggling with life changes, feelings of sadness and anxiety, a sense of "stuckness", or ready to heal past traumas, therapy can and does provide relief and a new way of living.

I'm a counselor because supporting individuals through some of the toughest times in their lives is important to me, and it is an honor to be invited into someone's life journey to help them in whatever way they need. The therapeutic space that I offer to clients can help them manage their daily experiences and navigate through the many changes and transitions of life. They can increase their insight and awareness about what's happening in and around them and take actions that are in line with their values and what's important to them.

I have 15 years of experience counseling youth and adults. I am licensed to work in both Texas and Massachusetts. My focus has been young adults and the LGBTQ+ population. I take the approach of starting where you are. Through connecting and talking about your intentions, we can begin to find a pathway to addressing and exploring the issues that are impeding your happiness. Within each human is an inner wisdom, and my role is to help you connect with that part of yourself, increasing self-confidence and life satisfaction. It helps to have an outside perspective, and I support your path to choosing a life with more understanding.

Most of us need help with personal challenges or relationship issues at some point in our lives. Maybe an important relationship begins to fail, or we can't seem to navigate through a major transition or loss. Sometimes anxiety or depression descends and just won't go away. I have helped hundreds of clients through difficult times like these with skill and compassion. In my practice, you will find a safe, non-judgmental place to share your thoughts and feelings, reach a deeper understanding of your problem, and find new ways of coping. We will work together to get your life back on track.

I help my clients understand and manage relationships and anxiety -- in both their personal and professional life. ​Many of those I work with find that my down to earth manner and focus on finding solutions is just what they need to move forward. Individuals (children, adolescents and adults), couples, and families often feel relieved to know they can learn the skills to be successful and improve their relationships.
