Somatic Therapists in Austin, TX

My name is Courtney Garcia Puckett (she/her), and I'm so glad you've made it to my page. I am an associate trauma therapist in Austin, and I work primarily with teens 16+ and adult individuals of all ages, but really resonate with Gen Z folks and Millennials! My main focus is complex trauma, often stemming from difficult or traumatic childhoods, but work with a variety of issues. I intimately understand that humans are multifaceted and nuanced, and help you lean into your true authentic self. This may look like exploring your identity, navigating relationships, managing intense emotions or finding ways to honor your inherent needs.

Hi, I'm Katelyn! I have been working in the mental health field for the last four years. I am passionate about creating a safe therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable processing, exploring, and understanding their problems without judgment or shame. I hold the belief that authenticity is a path to genuine happiness and healing, and I take joy in assisting clients in their journey to explore and embrace their truth. I take a holistic approach to healing and emphasize the importance of wellness in all aspects of clients' lives. I believe that every human is unique and so is their path to healing and happiness.

My counseling approach centers on my unwavering, optimistic faith that you have the potential for an authentic and happy life. I believe all people have the capacity for positive growth and this faith and belief will be present throughout our work. In session, I will give you a safe space, stay present with you, be curious about all that makes you unique, and remain flexible to your needs in the moment. We will use present moment experiences to increase your awareness while incorporating mindfulness, experiential, and somatic exercises.

Sometimes we find ourselves feeling lost or alone and wonder where we might find support for the complex issues we face in life. In therapy, you can come exactly as you are and be met with the compassion and understanding that every life deserves. As a Marriage and Family Therapy Associate, I believe in healing through authentic connections and validating relationships that reinforce our sense of worth. I am passionate about inspiring meaningful change and helping clients to become more integrated, grounded, and connected within themselves.

I primarily work with parents seeking support for their young child, adolescent, or teen. Presenting issues range from mild toileting concerns, to stress and anxiety, social skills, coping strategies, building emotional vocabulary, trauma processing, depression, low self-esteem, suicidal ideation and self harm, LGBTQIA+, and support for neurodivergent and neurodiverse children and children with learning differences.

A strong sense of self and well-being. Healthy connection in relationships. Positive, vibrant sexuality. Most of us want a meaningful life infused with these qualities, yet many struggle with the impact of grief, trauma, and troubled relationships. Through integration of Somatic Experiencing, a body-centered psychotherapy, with psychodynamic, relational counseling, I support clients to find their own innate ability to grow, to change and to find their unique path to healing. Whether you are seeking support to make a few changes in your life, or a partner and ally on your journey of transformation, let's talk and see whether we might work together.

Hi there, it's so nice to meet you and I'm so happy that you have decided to embark on this healing journey. I am a first generation Nigerian America therapist in Austin, TX. I work with a broad range of mental health diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, Borderline Personality Disorder, eating disorders, and addiction. My therapeutic style is warm and empathetic, but I will still call you out while maintaining a safe space. I am also aware of how the body stores trauma and can offer guidance on re-regulating your nervous system through somatic experiencing.

The human experience can be overwhelming. We all have experienced trauma - whether relational, mental, physical, sexual, spiritual, or emotional. We can find healing & our way forward in the safe space of a therapeutic relationship as we learn more about ourselves through genuine, non-judgmental curiosity. Learning how to be safely in our body (embodied) with all our different parts, experiences, memories, feelings, & thoughts can be life changing. By regulating the nervous system, we can teach your body that you are safe on a cellular level.

Howdy, I'm Natalia and I'm a relational trauma therapist working at the intersections of culture, power, and personhood. I am honored to help adults overcome experiences of trauma and cultural oppression to reclaim their peace, power and pleasure. Over time, I have expanded into working with couples to cultivate connection, play and pleasure. I am especially passionate about supporting survivors of interpersonal violence and sexual assault, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ folks, poly/kink communities, and indigenous and immigrant peoples.

I’m so glad you landed here. Welcome to the wonderful world of somatic therapy! I know it can feel intimidating to embark on a journey of self-improvement and self-acceptance. Luckily, I specialize in SE (Somatic Experiencing), a gentle approach to trauma-informed counseling that helps you ease into the process. It's great for beginners to therapy, as well as longtime therapy-goers who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy and want to access a new part of the work. I believe that therapy is at its best when it’s an open and inviting process, and one of my favorite aspects of SE is its collaborative nature.

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.

My person-centered and integrative approach stems from the belief that you hold the power to heal from the inside out. However, as layers of stress, trauma and adversity build up, we are often disconnected from ourselves and this intrinsic potential. I aim to support you in reclaiming this power so that you become the expert of your internal world. By doing so, we don’t necessarily escape the inevitable challenges of life but instead find connection to a capacity within ourselves that helps us navigate life’s ups and downs with greater resiliency, meaning and authenticity.

I am a LCSW who works with individuals who are experiencing a disruption in a relationship, difficulty managing their mood, or experiencing symptoms related to trauma. My experience providing individual and group outpatient services, as well as crisis intervention services, allows me to provide my client with the tools needed to work towards recovery. I work to form a trusting therapeutic relationship to allow for exploration of strengths and skills to overcome life challenges. My hope is for all clients to acquire the skills to be their own therapist, and progress from the counseling relationship with an increased sense of self.

The individual who seeks a warm but direct, funny but serious therapist, will work best with me. Those who have struggled with clutter or whose family member is struggling with clutter or hoarding disorder will experience my commitment and experience with hoarding.

Hi and welcome! It's a brave and vulnerable step to consider therapy, so I acknowledge the strength it took you to take this first step to find help. You may be feeling low, burnt out, anxious, traumatized, and in need of a break. While there are no quick fixes in therapy, I have helped many clients build resilience, find peace, and gain strength. Prior to my role as therapist, I worked at an inpatient psychiatric facility and in a DBT IOP, but therapy is my favorite. I value it in my own life, and I put a lot into the work I do with clients.

I heartfully acknowledge our mind, body & brain as an integrated whole within a social & cultural context. My approach is trauma-informed with an embodied & relational lens that aims to offer holistic & long-term healing. Whether we are navigating the depths of your inner world or the complexity of relationships, we will co-create a restorative space that offers a sense of warmth, openness, & curiosity towards all that emerges. Together we will discover your internal resources supporting healing, growth, & transformation.

Has distress, trauma, or a major transition disrupted your nervous system, or caused anxiety or depression? Is emotional dysregulation negatively impacting the relationships you care about the most? If you're experiencing PTSD, relationship challenges, grief, depression, caregiver fatigue, or anxiety of what lies ahead for you and your loved ones, I can help you settle emotional distress, restore equilibrium, and develop beneficial coping skills to support personal well-being and healthier relationships. I really believe that help begins by reaching out, and I'm glad you're here! Call or text me for a free consultation.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relational distress and everyday stressors. I am passionate about healing through connection with ourselves, each other and with nature. Life can be incredibly overwhelming and traumatic, and I aim to provide a safe, judgment-free space to join you in your experiences by slowing down and processing what you have been holding.

I help people free themselves from the wrath of a harsh inner critic, get unstuck from unhealthy situations, and start living instead of just surviving. If you are living with anxiety, depression, unproductive anger, the impact of trauma, or relationship struggles--including parenting neurodiverse or gender-questioning children, I welcome you. I provide a safe, compassionate, emotionally attuned space so you can feel supported as we explore what brings you into therapy. Whatever your struggle, I believe it is possible to navigate pain, gain strength, and experience greater fulfillment through the therapeutic relationship we create.
