Therapists in Austin, TX

Maybe asking for help isn’t natural for you, you’d rather figure it out on your own. Or you’ve felt misunderstood and letting someone in is a big risk. You've been told you are "too" sensitive and it feels like you experience life differently from everyone around you. Do you bounce between numb and overwhelmed? You're the type to work hard, hold yourself to a high standard, and yet don’t feel confident that you’re doing enough. Perhaps you identify as neurodivergent (ADHD, gifted, Highly Sensitive Person, twice exceptional) or suspect that you may be?

Life might have thrown you a new curveball that has gotten you off balance. OR nothing big has happened, but feelings of being stuck have emerged from somewhere. Psychotherapy offers you a safe place to make changes to old patterns that hold you back. I can help you navigate the uncharted path & assist in developing the insights & skills you need to thrive in life. Therapy works best when we collaborate toward created goals in a respectful & affirming setting. Our work involves identifying & working through unhealthy relationship patterns, helping to change the way you think to improve the way you feel, in order to live your life.

My clients are individuals, couples or families who want to improve their emotional wellness. They might be going through a challenging period in their life, may struggle with interpersonal relationships, conflict at work, or they may be looking to improve their marital or family dynamics. Ultimately, they possess the tools they need to improve their lives - through therapy, we bring those tools to life.

I am a licensed psychologist and a clinical neuropsychologist. I provide evidence based effective treatment for psychological problems, as well as neuropsychological assessment. I take a humanistic and compassionate approach and work with my clients as partners in a journey. My clients' wellbeing, dignity and progress towards the goals we set are my top priorities. Together with my clients I offer a tailored clinical approach to help you achieve your treatment and life goals. I also draw from both neuroscience as well as from philosophy to help clients get better and experience the profound sense that... its ok to be you!

My expertise lies in providing evidenced-based therapy to individuals and families experiencing challenges in relationships. Clients come to me to explore how to be a better parent to their children or how understand themselves and grow after trauma and neglect. Often they discover there is a deep relationship between the two.

Life is not easy, and being happy with our lives, relationships, and who we are can be challenging. Add stress to the mix, and our lives can suddenly feel out of control. I am here to help you regain control in all aspects of your life. Do you struggle with communication? Are you quick to anger? Are you using unhealthy ways to cope? Are your relationships suffering? I approach clients’ struggles through a systemic lens. Our experiences, family, relationships, and culture all influence who we are and contribute to our ups and downs.

Let's face it - maybe you’ve attempted to fix your problems on your own, but just can’t. You’re still trying to figure what to do and need some help, so you chose to seek out support. I specialize in working with men and recognize that being a man in our society presents a unique set of challenges and issues. Common issues I work with clients on include relationship/intimacy struggles, depression, anxiety, ADHD, shame, anger/rage, sexual issues, feelings of numbness and addiction. I can assure you a level of comfort and understanding as well as specialized training when dealing with these issues.

Deciding to speak to a therapist is a step in the direction of health - mental, emotional, and sometimes physical. My clients usually come to me after they have tried all they can think of - I feel honored to be their next step and honor the steps they've already taken. Whether a client's concerns pertain to parenting or becoming a parent, perinatal mental health, life transitions, ADHD, or general mental health, I enjoy working together with my clients to determine the best next steps for them.

I get what it feels like to feel stuck...seemingly unable to move forward or backward. At my group practice, Unstuck, we are professional therapists and counselors who seek to provide genuine, confidential, safe, and healing space for anyone who feels stuck in life. We focus on individuals and couples working through relationship struggles, symptoms of depression or anxiety, navigating life transitions, coming out trauma, dealing with family dynamics, spiritual questioning, or anything that makes them feel stuck or trapped in their current circumstances.

Through my years as mental health clinician, I have learned that change is not possible in isolation. It would be my privilege to assist in your change/growth process. I offer an eclectic approach to psychotherapy with an extensive background in the treatment of trauma.  My training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Dr. Bruce Perry's work The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics has enabled me to specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD and many other diagnosis.

I have openings as of May 1, 2024. Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or upset over conflict that you may have with others in your life?

Let's work together to find solutions to the difficulties that you are facing. Online therapy is very effective, creates a connection between client and therapist, and is extremely convenient for clients.

I help young people understand their strengths as well as their challenges, discover healthy ways to express and manage fears and insecurities, and accept support from those who care about them. Many lack important skills to successfully manage demands of school, relationships, and stressful life events, leaving them "stuck" in patterns of reactivity that can be concerning and confusing to others. Through our work and collaboration with their families and other care providers, my patients often report improved self-awareness, self-esteem, school performance, environmental support, and interactions with peers and family members.

Supervised by Christina Watts-Figueroa, MA, LMFT-S, LPC-S, RPT-S. I strive to be authentic and human in session with my clients to promote a safe environment. After working 5 years in the field of ABA therapy I took on counseling as I saw a greater need for parents and adults in dealing with an Autism diagnosis. I heavily focus on experiential processing in session with all clients to engage with the deeper emotions. I also strive to work with the communities I have been apart of such as military, LGBTQ+, and mixed race background. I look forward to meeting you.

You’ve arrived at a crossroads in life. As you look out at the path in front of you, you see a multitude of possibilities and outcomes. You know there must be some way forward that seamlessly blends the threads of culture, emotion, and self-discovery that are important to you. But the fact is, you’re too scared to move in any direction – the self-doubt, confusion, and fear of making the wrong choice paralyze you. If only you had the confidence to embark on this journey you know you need and deserve. But it feels impossible. So instead, you wait, hoping that the choice will become clearer or taken out of your hands entirely.

You deserve the space to explore your most honest and vulnerable self safely and without judgment.

From these experiences, I have developed an approach that is extremely person centered and I prioritize my role as an advocate to champion your needs. I am passionate about elevating my clients voice to prioritize their well deserved opportunity to thrive.
