Dealing with the stresses of life and a variety of emotions can seem overwhelming and sometimes lonely.

My mission is to create hope where there is none and to empower the individuals I work with to find healing. Healing will be defined by YOU - I will operate as an active guide throughout the process. I offer private counseling to individuals and their family members/significant others who are struggling with alcohol and/or drug use. I am able to help craft safety plans, moderation plans or abstinence plans based on your goals. I will assist you to create balance in your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health.

Welcome is how I want you to feel in therapy. I have nearly 30 years of experience to teach you skills to serve yourself and others. Motivated people address their mood disorders, trauma, work stress, past and present relationship/family problems to move forward. I use EMDR for trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness techniques together with psychodynamic psychotherapy. I learned to respect that most people know themselves deep down and may need a few new tools. We will create an atmosphere of kindness, introspection, humor, and good will in which to reach your goals. rebeccaburgmanlcsw.com

I am a person-centered therapist. My aim in session is to support my clients' natural ability to make change in their life. I specialize in life transition issues. My typical client is facing a challenge that is pressing them toward change in a major life area (work, relationships, finances, etc.). I help them uncover feelings and beliefs that secretly sabotage their decision-making process and replace them with more effective ones. Therapy with me is about getting honest about what you feel and think and using those insights to guide you toward more authentic choices resulting a more rewarding life.

I would describe my practice as helping people work through life issues in ways that promote relational, emotional and spiritual growth. My clinical areas of interest include spirituality, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I also specialize in working with men's issues. I apply a Christian/faith-based approach to counseling and am trained in both theology and professional counseling. I am an ordained minister and pastoral counselor. I don't impose my beliefs on clients, and respect all faith/spiritual traditions as valuable resources for healing. Areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, childhood abuse, personality disorders, faith crisis, marriage, family, adolescent, and relationship issues.

I am a professional creativity, leadership, and career coach, consultant, educator, and facilitator based in Austin, Texas. My areas of focus in coaching include mindfulness, creativity, organizational psychology, existential issues, spirituality, and life transitions, drawing inspiration from humanistic, existential, positive, transpersonal, and Jungian depth psychology. I help individuals and organizations tap into their innate creativity for greater insight, innovation, collaboration, and resilience. While my Ph.D. is in psychology / creativity studies, I am not a therapist or clinical psychologist, so I cannot accept insurance.

I work well with adults who wish to deepen their relationships with primary partners, children, their family of origin, friends or colleagues. Many of my patients are seeking help with issues from early childhood, including trauma and child abuse. Others want to understand and function better in their marriages/partnerships. Some patients need to end their partnerships and I will work with them to do so in a collaborative manner. Adults in my practice may be coping with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, dissociative disorders and/or addictions. Together, we work to create insight into these issues.

Communication Issues in Your Marriage? I can help.

My practice embraces an all-encompassing approach toward making changes in multiple areas of your life based on Albert Ellis's theory of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Ellis believed that if you change your thinking, you can change your life. I believe it is important to explore multiple areas of your life and the beliefs you act upon in order to discover opportunities where you can implement empowering changes. I practice from a Christian perspective but welcome clients from any faith. I want my clients to feel empowered, encouraged and educated during the counseling process.

Finding the right therapist can be a difficult and overwhelming process. There seems to be an endless array of choices, and it's so important to find the right fit for you. In order to help make this process easier, I offer and encourage you to interview me over the phone, and I will be happy to answer any questions about therapy or the therapeutic process. I am skilled in working with individuals, couples and families with a variety of issues using an individualized approach. I have been in practice since 1990 and have extensive inpatient and outpatient experience.

I have the privilege to work beside children, adolescents, and adults in difficult and often confusing times in their lives. My mission is to provide care and clarity for my clients while honoring their values in a way that can strengthen and improve their relationship not only with themselves but with their family and friends as well.

I provide a safe environment to develop trust and share in the healing process. I have been working with teens, children, and adults for over 10 years and am experienced in helping individuals and families thrive after trauma, loss, and difficult transitions.

Reaching out to ask for help when we are struggling is one of the biggest favors we can do for ourselves. Just as our physical health is important to maintain functioning in every day life, so is our mental health and well being. I strive to help clients get back to finding their optimal balance in life by addressing concerns they have in all aspects of their life whether it be relationship and interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues or trauma that is preventing them from living their best life.

Do you wish you felt more stable in relationships? Are you mostly okay until you start dating someone? If you struggle with controlling your emotions and reactions to others, I can help you learn how to self-regulate and develop healthier coping strategies.

Are you and your partner experiencing more disconnection, frustration and conflict? Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed about your relationship? Are you stressed out and needing support to help navigate your relationship issues? Talking to someone to find hope and to feel more grounded can help. I specialize in treating relationships and couples counseling. I guide couples in managing everyday challenges as well as major changes in their life by providing skills and different ways of looking at their relationship problems to strengthen, rebuild and restore their relationships.

Do you feel like the challenges around you are interfering with your life? Maybe a relationship hurdle. The grief of losing a loved one. All that pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting can bring. Are you struggling to communicate with your partner or children? Challenged by a new diagnosis such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder and do not know where to turn? Maybe you are new to adulthood and feel that you do not know how to navigate your day-to-day life.

What clients want most is to feel more connected to themselves and others. They want to feel a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives and to experience greater intimacy and fulfillment in their relationships. They may have a desire to work on personal growth and self-discovery, or to address specific issues that are impacting their quality of life. Clients can expect to gain greater self-awareness and insight into their patterns of behavior and relationships. They will learn practical skills and techniques to help them manage their emotions more effectively, communicate more authentically, and build stronger connections.

Being human isn't always easy, and when life gets complicated and becomes challenging, therapy can help offer tools to navigate through a crisis while providing you a deeper exploration of yourself. Problems in relationships often come from old ways of coping that served you in the past, but now may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change. Healing is possible, and therapy is a journey towards self-discovery where you get to explore the landscape of your own mind.

As we go through life, we experience joy but also heartache, pain and suffering. My clients usually have a consistent theme of childhood and/or adult trauma and as a result are having relational issues and doubts about themselves. They need to be heard and validated. They need to know that each person is unique and special. I have many years of experience and I have studied various models of therapy. I have learned that if a client learns to regulate their internal state, then they begin to heal. All of life's healing happens in the context of attuned relationships based on trust, mutual respect, and partnership.
