Family Therapy in Austin, TX

Hi there! My name is Chloe. I am a Master of Social Work student at the University of Texas at Arlington and have over five years working in the social work field.

Todos nos enfrentamos a conflictos, retos continuos en nuestra vida... la pérdida de un ser querido, pérdida de empleo, metas no logradas, baja autoestima, culpas no resueltas, estrés, transiciones, dificultades en nuestras relaciones con amigos y familiares, enfermedades físicas y de salud mental, entre otras. Muchas veces logramos nosotros mismos vencer esos obstáculos que se nos presentan, pero en otras ocasiones necesitamos la guía de un profesional que nos escuche atentamente, sin juzgar nuestras emociones, pensamientos, conductas, y nos ayude a desarrollar estrategias para manejar y transformar esos conflictos en fortalezas.

I serve as a companion for those who seek to find peace and empowerment through healing and growth. Many do not realize when we are operating in an unhealthy mind/ body state because we believe the environment is the lone cause of our unease. The prevalent cause of our misery and frustration usually lies in: unresolved pain, unhealthy thought processes, and lack of confidence and power which keeps us on a maladaptive road of misery or stagnation. The good news is that you hold the key to your healing and I would be delighted to guide you in using it. Immigration Psychosocial Evaluations are also offered.

Relationships are inherently complex, and even our most intimate ones can be confusing and painful. It's my job to help you make sense of the complexity.
