Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Austin, TX

I am a multi-cultural therapist who is passionate about mindfulness and body-centered tools to empower you in your healing journey. I provide virtual Trauma-Informed therapy to adults from diverse backgrounds, cultures, identities, and experiences. My areas of specialty include working with people experiencing and coping with: Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Substance Use Challenges, Trauma/Post-traumatic Stress, Relationship Challenges, Life transitions, and clients exploring spirituality and/or their identity/identities (BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ Affirming).

Feeling like you and your partner are off track, especially when trying to feel close, can affect your happiness. If you're struggling because things aren't feeling right in the bedroom, or you're curious about exploring your sexuality in a safe place, you're not alone. I specialize in helping people feel better about their sexual lives, whether it's boosting confidence, making relationships stronger, or being open about what you wish. Common struggles I work with are low libido, sexual pain, and orgasm difficulties. I welcome the LGBTQ+, kink, and open/poly lifestyle communities.

My goal as a therapist is to help people overcome adversity, depression and anxiety so that they can live life more fully in the present. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to address important and difficult issues, while working collaboratively with clients.

While working with my clients, we can have feelings of being paralyzed by our anxieties that can be challenging in our daily lives. We can start to feel isolated from our friends, family, even to ourselves. These barriers can feel as if we are looking at the top of a mountain without a way to get to the top. My goal for clients is for them to strive to realize their true authentic selves while gaining skills and insights that will help them navigate their journey into healing. I specialize working with adolescents and adults experiencing Generalized Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Phobias, and OCD.

The process of therapy can be a place to explore patterns that can keep us stuck or create suffering in our lives. My aim is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space that allows for this exploration to occur. This process tends to foster deeper insight and awareness, which leads to greater self-acceptance and more satisfying relationships. Part of our work together will be to identify patterns or obstacles that get in the way of your healing and progress. We will also collaborate to prioritize your goals and work at a pace that feels right for you.

Hi, I'm Devin, a compassionate and dedicated clinical social worker helping individuals navigate life's challenges.

I encourage individuals to make small and attainable goals to help them move forward and lead a fulfilling life.

If we allow them to, anxiety, stress, and uncomfortable feelings can run our lives. My passion lies in helping you to find freedom and movement from these uncomfortable feelings rather than stagnation and suffering. Together, we will explore how you respond to uncomfortable feelings and find healthier, more productive and more genuine ways of responding that fit with your values in all areas of your life.

People are naturally resilient with the right support. Therapy facilitates the healing process by helping you deeply understand yourself, with compassion, so your presenting concerns can be effectively addressed. My approach varies to fit the style and presenting issues of each client. Typically, I take a holistic approach combining in-depth traditional talk therapy with more recent, empirically-validated and present-focused approaches. I sometimes act as a life coach, helping clients change behaviors and discern choices that lead toward the lives they envision. My predominant focus is guiding deeper exploration that results in real inner transformation, personal fulfillment, and learning to love yourself.

My approach to working with people goes beyond traditional talk therapy to apply the discoveries of new brain science, using methods of EMDR, Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Much of the work I do with people is short term. My intent is to help you recover from past traumas; make the changes you want in your life now; and learn tools you can apply to any challenges that may arise in your future. My experience of working with people for 20 years is that we all have within us what is needed to live life fully and create happiness for ourselves and others.

I am passionate about helping others enhance connections in their lives and live more authentically.
