Therapists in Austin, TX

Anxiety, depression, and relationship strain are all signs of change trying to happen. Often fear holds us back from challenging ourselves and our relationships. What we need is security, loving acceptance, and healthy curiosity. You may fear that you are stuck, that your partner will never change to meet your needs, or perhaps you are predestined to being unhappy or alone. I help people create relationships where they are comfortable enough to grow. It's through authentic relationships that we find the strength to dream big. Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy in our tears, trust, and grow.

We have therapists (Licensed, Associates and Graduate Students Interns) who specialize in different age groups (teens, young adults, middle age, and elderly), constellations (individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy), and targets (pastors & missionaries, EMDR, affair recovery, blended families, veterans, grief & loss, etc.). If a client requests to incorporate Christian spirituality into counseling, our therapists are well trained to do so. However, we are incredibly respectful of our clients’ faith beliefs, including those who profess faith and those who do not.

Are you having difficulties related to your relationship or sexuality? Have you struggled to find a therapist who is accepting and non-judgmental? You may be fed up with sexual concerns impacting you and/or your partner(s), feeling anxious about the prospect of discussing your sex life, and judged by your choices. One thing is for sure, you’re ready to overcome your current obstacles and feel more confident in yourself and your relationships. You’re ready to understand and own your sexuality. Most of all, you’re ready to live a life of happiness and fulfillment, whatever that looks like for you.

So glad you’re here… I am a teacher, Co-Active coach, therapist, and LCSW-S based in Austin, TX, available to do psychotherapy and coaching for teens and adults via Zoom as well as supervise Texas social work students working toward their LCSW. I believe that people are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole, and I am driven to facilitate powerful conversations to enrich the lives of my students, clients, colleagues, and supervisees. I value vulnerability, play, humor, inquiry, engagement, and authenticity, and am interested in the stories we tell that invariably shape and define our lives.

Whether you are experiencing relationship distress, life transitions, difficult circumstances and emotions, or major trauma I see the process of therapy as a way to gain support, insight, and ultimately healing in your journey. My goal is to help you to explore your unique story, bringing awareness and a deeper understanding of yourself and situations.

I work with individuals who believe that creativity gives us the capacity to be curious, to examine and learn, to ask questions, and find answers. Transformation occurs through originality, love, authenticity, and choice. Each of these components allow us to live meaningful lives in the face of uncertainty and suffering. Many people believe their meaning, value, worth, and identity are found in financial success, relationships, or any number of other measurable means. My therapeutic stance is that those facets of a person are not made, but rather found through ingenuity, curiosity, and acceptance.

Hi, I'm Coral! I am a holistic healer that incorporates both tradition and non-traditional techniques to help treat the individual as a whole. My approach integrates spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional forms of well-being. My goal is to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves on all these levels. I want to help you think bigger than your problems and help you heal the past so that you can break the patterns that are holding you back from your next level. I enjoy working with individuals, including teens and young adults, and I also work with couples and families who want to improve their communication.

Hi, I am so glad you're here! Before you schedule with me, it is most important that you know my number one priority is for you to get the absolute best care. Are you feeling low-energy? Have you lost hope about your future? Do you want to stop having the same fights OVER & OVER again? I work with couples and individual adults to help them heal from conflict. We will look at negative patterns and find out how we can change negative patterns into positive relationships. You will learn how to manage conflict and decrease anxiety. I will consistently keep it real with you and check that you're seeing TRUE progress.

Hello! I am Alexandra Waugh, a Licensed Professional Counselor serving adolescents and young adults in Austin, Texas. I believe that we all possess the strengths we need to tackle our issues, but sometimes we need help bringing these strengths to the surface. My goal is to empower my clients and help them discover their amazing potential. I provide a warm, safe space for clients to feel comfortable identifying, exploring, and replacing the problematic thoughts and behaviors that have kept them from living their most valued life.

As the Founder and Executive Director of Bloom Therapy, my mission is to help as many people as possible live free from anxiety, trauma, and depression, as well as provide support and guidance through normal relationship difficulties and life transitions. In addition to offering individual psychotherapy, I also provide clinical supervision and mentorship to new therapists at Bloom Therapy. I embrace spiritual curiosity and those who wish to explore and honor their spiritual existence within the therapeutic context. Anyone who is serious about growing and wants to make substantial change in their life is a good fit for my practice.

Change is inevitable. Pain is probable. Suffering is optional. Many of us already have the strength to manage change but need a little help finding the courage and confidence. That is why I take a collaborative, flexible, transformational, dynamic, and strength-based approach to empower clients to face life’s circumstances. I could help equip you with just tools to tackle your personal and professional obstacles or I can work alongside you and through dialogue help you to develop your own tools for long term sustainable strategies and an independent and purposeful life.

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.

Like most of my clients I have my own share of childhood trauma. I’ve had to deconstruct childhood messages of not being good enough. I’ve had to learn to set boundaries and learn that I’m not required to put others' needs above my own. I think learning that I'm loved and worthy, even when other's are angry with me has been the most difficult lesson of all. The very path that many of you are starting out on, I have walked myself. This journey isn't about reliving your worst memories, it's about taking away their power. I’ve worked hard to reclaim my own story, now I want to help you reclaim yours.

I help people explore how their relationships with self, other people, culture, and larger societal systems have shaped who they are and how they move through life. I provide an empowering and affirming space for my clients to explore their emotions, relationships, and patterns of behavior.

At Mindful Relationships Therapy, we specialize in working with individuals and couples who are experiencing relationship issues or symptoms of panic, anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD. We specialize in clients who have a history of trauma, whether it was physical or emotional neglect/abuse during childhood or a recent trauma experienced as an adult. We are also inspired to support clients who identify as POC (person of color) and/or are in cross cultural relationships.

Emotional, psychological, and interpersonal/social growth is a continual process of self transformation and change. At points when one feels stuck or confused in that process, or when life just isn't working, it often helps to connect with a therapist. I provide a safe space where you can be, or recover/rediscover, your authentic self; deepen the emotional connection with yourself and others; clarify thoughts, beliefs, and values; consider new ways of being in the world and w/others; develop healthier adaptive strategies for relating to yourself and others; and work through past and/or present griefs and traumas.

If we can be of help to you or someone you care about, please call or email us today for more information or to make an appointment with one of our counselors.

Change in our lives is inevitable. The transition periods between times of stability in our lives are more common then we often care to admit. These transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, depression and other current and long standing psychological issues. I started my clinical practice in 1989 in Austin, Texas and specialize in helping adult individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions due to significant changes occurring in their lives.
