Therapists in Austin, TX

Feeling stuck, angry, depressed, or confused? Are you fed up, with yourself, your partner, or family members? Are you struggling financially? Are looking for a different career or starting one? Are your struggling with school or college? Do you have feelings and thoughts that you do not understand, and don't feel comfortable talking to friends or family about them? These are common experiences for many people in our complicated society. Sometimes people "act out", fall into addictions, just shut down, or make bad decisions. They want change, but are not sure how. That's when counseling and analysis can really help.

Therapy offers a chance to learn new ways to cope with emotionally charged life challenges & process the things in life that keep us stuck. In our sessions, I'll help you identify & challenge self-defeating patterns that leave you stuck, unsatisfied, & less than your best. We'll develop a plan based on your needs & what you want out of therapy. I offer a supportive, nonjudgemental space for you to reflect, process, & grow. My approach is strength based, interactive, & collaborative, & I believe that authenticity, respect, & a sense of humor all contribute to a strong therapeutic relationship.

I assist clients dealing with addiction and the related co-occurring issues (anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD/ADD, stress, bipolar, schizo-affective, schizophrenic, etc.). All of my clients have experienced some type of trauma, PTSD, childhood emotional neglect, intergenerational family issues, spiritual emergency / psychosis, etc., and addiction has been the result. Clients who have been impacted are in my estimation actually highly sensitive people and highly spiritual people. I now offer an 11-Session Emotional Integration Training program that teaches you to manage your emotions in a skillful way putting the tools in your hands.

My deepest professional aspiration is to enable others to discover their own motivations for change and to find within themselves the ability to take responsibility for their thought life and thus find the power to take actions and thereby make dramatic and transformative changes in their lives. In working with individuals, couples, and groups, my aim is to foster self-esteem, coping skills and encourage building positive and supportive relationships. I work with individual clients, couples, and lead weekly therapy groups. Deep lasting change that is already beginning iswithin your grasp. Reach out, I'd be honored to work with you.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 13 + years of experience, added to my 30 yrs. nursing experience. I use cognitive behavioral, person centered, and mindfulness techniques in therapy sessions, to help all age groups with concerns about anger, sadness, stress, depression, self-esteem issues, drug addiction, parenting issues, life and death concerns, and life transitional issues, such as career counseling and homelessness.

Welcome! I am glad you are here! I have a passion for helping people know themselves better and process their lives and concerns. I work with a variety of people with struggles such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addiction, relationships, and more. I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective that seeks to understand individuals’ unconscious motivations and desires that contribute to our conscious life. I am comfortable discussing any issue that you might bring up and can aid in helping you achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I'm passionate about helping people create and live their best life. I believe everyone can experience their dream life when they have support and a clear direction. I love helping people reconnect, or uncover, their life’s passions through exploring past experiences and identifying what brings them joy and purpose. I started Atomic Souls because I know so many people who believe therapy is boring, too clinical, and quite frankly unhelpful. I hope to challenge that narrative about counselors by bringing creativity, fun, and passion into counseling.

Lack of Motivation, Addiction, & Relationship Issues - The 3 most common presenting problems in my practice today. Whether you’re dealing with any combination of the 3, or something else entirely, actualizing your potential is the way forward. I don't believe rehashing past experiences to no end is helpful. While talking about past experiences may be an important part of our work, growth manifests through present integration. Being as honest and direct as possible is the best way to demonstrate how I'm not here to waste your time. If we share this value, my style of therapy may be right for you.

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated." -Confucius. My philosophy is this; you already know the answers to your problems, you just don't know that you know them yet. My job is to help you unlock the secrets to your own happiness and productivity. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, and get tremendous fulfillment in seeing my clients succeed. No problem is unsolvable. Working with me will grant you greater stress tolerance and emotional resilience, as well as "mind-hacks" that will change how you deal with normal day-to-day life.

If therapy has failed you before, consider giving me a try. I specialize in a wide range of issues, from everyday anxiety to complex, treatment-resistant challenges. My approach is direct, insightful, and solution-focused. I've helped clients stabilize extreme mood swings and manage intense experiences like hallucinations and nightmares. Having overcome PTSD myself, I understand life's darkest moments and am committed to guiding you towards hope and healing. Together we'll play detective, unravel the mystery of your deepest issues, unearth the roots of your troubles, and craft personalized interventions that resonate with you.

Hi, I'm Sarah. Maybe you feel stuck right now. Maybe things feel hard and you're just not sure what to do. Maybe you've noticed unresolved feelings, or big feelings, coming back again and again. Maybe you feel stuck in a relationship, a season in your life, or your identity. Maybe it feels like things might always feel this way. Clients that I work with are curious about their experiences. Whether it's noticing past patterns, current feelings, or experimenting with doing something different, the clients that I see often want to understand more about themselves, to show up for themselves in ways they hope to be.

The path forward. That's how we think of therapy at Discovery Counseling. We're here to help you navigate the highs and lows. The challenges and triumphs. That means the hard stuff and the big transitions. The persistent issues and the seemingly small stuff too. Experience tells us that you've got all the skills and smarts you need to thrive. So we'll help you find your path and we'll follow it alongside you. Whether you're searching for mental health, career aspirations, family healing or nutrition counseling, we're here to help tap into your inner wisdom and set out on the next phase of your journey.

If you are intrigued by the idea of growth through exploration of your inner world, then I am deeply committed to helping you slay your psychic dragons--no matter how skeptical you are that it will help.

At Therapy Austin, we offer individual, couples/relationship and group therapy services. Using a sophisticated algorithm, combined with a human decision-maker, we will match you personally to one of our qualified counselors. Or, you have the option of choosing a counselor yourself. Affordable pick-your-fee service model, open nights & weekends with 5 locations in South, North & Central Austin. We're keepin' it local and keepin' it real.

Everyone deserves a life they can enjoy. Together, we can address the past and present to create a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. When circumstances become challenging, and as purpose and meaning lose their luster, having a reliable support system can make all the difference. With a background in assisting youth (ages 6-18), families, couples, and adults, I promise to provide quality care that is intentional and transformational.

By fostering dynamic and interactive sessions tailored to each individual's needs, I avoid a one-size-fits-all approach, prioritizing spontaneity and genuine engagement. This approach cultivates a therapeutic experience that is both insightful and attentive, empowering clients to achieve lasting growth and self-discovery.

I am experienced at helping to transform depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, and other struggles through a variety of active techniques: Psychodynamic therapy with a Jungian orientation, expressive arts therapy, imago therapy for couples, action methods for groups, and mindfulness processes. With leaders and organizations, I use a dynamic set of processes that help to transform conflict and develop emotional intelligence and authenticity. I also am a licensed LPC supervisor and train facilitators to use these techniques with their clients.

Feelings and sensations are housed in our bodies. This is why the body in motion is our best tool to process life experiences, relieve stress, gain clarity and connect to your authentic self. If you are looking to develop a relationship with yourself and understand your own patterns as they show up in your life, I can help. Our bodies are wise and through movement, one can access parts of themselves that simply cannot be accessed verbally alone.

Is stress, anxiety and depression plaguing you? Do you feel more disconnected than ever in this post-pandemic world? Have you ever been curious about what therapy with horses might be like? I'd love to offer you the experience of something different, through a felt experience of change either through in-person talk therapy or equine assisted psychotherapy (I also offer Telehealth!). Therapy can be a place to feel safe, seen and find pathways to new ways of being in the world. I hope to meet you soon!
