My passion is supporting women as they navigate their multiple roles both at work and in relationships. One of my special interests is working with women who want to change their relationship with alcohol. In my experience, women often experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and burn out if healthy boundaries are not set to manage the never ending demands of life. I help clients develop boundaries, coping skills, and nervous system regulation strategies to create a life they are excited to live. I am trained in EMDR, the industry standard in treating trauma, as well as CBT, DBT and IFS.

There are few things I believe stunt the excitement and vastness of the human experience more than toxic shame, lack of self-compassion and an unrelenting life of anxious worry due to Complex PTSD, childhood trauma or adaptive coping skills. Maybe you are at the beginning of your therapy journey, slowly awakening to ways in which your current way of thinking and being is no longer serving you, or possibly our time together will be a continuation of the work you have already started. Either way, I am honored to be a part of your healing journey with goals of greater self-love, better relationships and a greater sense of meaning.

I bring an honest and authentic intention to work with you as a unique, whole person; one that is not defined by a label or diagnosis. I enjoy partnering with clients who are curious and open to working on improving stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues (romantic, family or work) and/or are searching for fulfillment, hope and answers to all the 'why's. Our environment will be warm, empathetic and judgement-free to explore your experiences and, if you are up to it, discuss previous trauma(s). We will collaborate on goals and the path to get you where you want to go.

It takes a great amount of courage to begin the process of improving your mental health. Whether you are in a rut, suffering from past trauma, recovering, or just seeking a change. I can help pave the path to wellness by supporting your ability to process both mental and emotion experiences. Together we can build a plan that will aid in personal development, encourage positive change, and broaden perspectives. I enjoy working with client from all cultures and backgrounds and will promote a safe atmosphere in which you know your voice is heard.

I believe that we hold the ability to challenge ourselves, to grow through maximizing our strengths, and finding unique ways to add to the best parts that already exist within us. I have found that through sharing a space where openness and understanding (and a little bit of humor) are present, you also have the ability to flourish, whether that be through walking the journey alone or with the added support of those who love and care for you. I focus on helping adults, both individuals and couples, with anxiety/stress, self-esteem, depression, communication, and relationships

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that we all have untapped resilience and an innate ability to learn, grow, and heal. My role as your therapist is to provide a safe space and work together to find and unlock your internal resources and address the barriers that are getting in the way of you living the life you truly desire.

In my practice, compassion is medicine, and I have great news - there is nothing wrong with you! You are having a human experience. You have had normal reactions to abnormal situations. Maybe you developed coping skills to get through hard times but now those same coping skills are causing problems. Whatever the issue is, there is a reason for it, and you are not at fault. You are your own wise guide through this healing journey. I am here to help you along your way. I blend years of studying bodywork, energy medicine, holistic health, EMDR, somatics and spiritual wellness into my therapy practice.

Hello! My name is Mariana Gutierrez, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the Central Texas area. Life can feel difficult and overwhelming at times. Whether this is managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, depression or trauma. I believe in providing a supportive, safe and nonjudgmental environment in which we work in a collaborative manner to problem-solve, improve coping skills and find the support you need.

Your resiliency has gotten you far, but what if you don’t have to keep going at it alone? What if, rather than being “broken” or needing to “get over it already”, you have actually needed - and deserve - the right kind of support for you to heal, grow, and thrive? When we are understood, accompanied, and supported in a deep, reliable way, the healing and transformation we seek can unleash from our own interior. Seemingly paradoxically, deeply connected, safe relationships liberate us. It takes real strength and courage to reach for this kind of support. I hold deep respect for you seeking this out, as well as faith in your process.

Welcome! My name is Laura Rushing and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Austin, Texas. If you are searching for a therapist for yourself or preteen/teen you love to help manage anxiety, emotional difficulties or relationship issues, you have come to the right place!

I view treatment as a safe space where healing can occur through the process of unpeeling multiple layers of mental and emotional patterns (conscious and unconscious), leading individuals to discover their strengths, true potential and authentic self. In this process, one can feel empowered and inspired to integrate all parts of self, even those hidden from the conscious mind. This delicate work is only possible when trust and alliance are established between therapist and client. The principles guiding this work are unconditional acceptance, compassion and non-judgment.

Life transitions and hardships can bring about stress, Anxiety, and/or Depression. Left unattended the levels of stress and Anxiety can intensify. Together we can work to gain insight and understanding into these issues and strive for the life you envision.

Do you feel alone or hopeless? Do you or someone you know struggle with alcohol or other substances? Have you been wishing that you could go back to the early days of drinking? Are you being dishonest about how much you drink or use? Maybe you have been questioning what happened and how did I get here? When we consume alcohol or other substances we are looking for a release. Some people can find this without the damaging effects it can create on our lives. Some of us are no longer able to do this. If you are looking for greater connection and other ways to relax and find comfort, I can help.

Are you looking to feel more joy, connection and authenticity in your life? Have you struggled to connect with your sense of agency, power and efficacy? Serving individuals and couples who seek to establish healthier relationship dynamics with themselves and others is a true gift. My passion for this work is rooted in my genuine appreciation and respect for anyone who embarks on the journey of self discovery. In addition to my work with individuals and couples, I offer consultations with parents & caregivers looking to increase harmony and decrease difficult behaviors in their homes with their children.

It is a privilege to get to work with individuals seeking to create change in their lives. Deciding to start therapy is a courageous step; I’m glad you're here. A number of things bring people to therapy. You may be feeling stuck in some way. Perhaps you’ve recently experienced a major life transition, loss, or unexpected stressor. Maybe you are simply feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings and unsure how to move forward. I am passionate about meeting you where you are and working together to help you be your best, most whole self.

NOTE: Currently full, but spots do open up over time. Feel free to inquire. Although my approach to counseling draws from a variety of models and approaches (including EMDR, interpersonal neurobiology, polyvagal and attachment theories), all are rooted in the fundamental principles of non-judgmental acceptance, authenticity, and experience. Beyond the exploration of old patterns of beliefs and behaviors, my focus is on helping clients find solutions. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help my clients develop knowledge and tools that will facilitate sustained growth long after therapy has ended.

Therapy is a special relationship that fosters behavioral and thought changes while increasing personal growth through the creation of a secure environment.

I enjoy working with individuals and families struggling with a variety of issues. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, self-esteem and trauma. I have been working with children, adolescents and adults for the past 10 years in a variety of therapeutic settings.

As a licensed LPC therapist, I have four years of experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing issues with trauma, anxiety, inter-relational conflicts, and other mental health struggles. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University, and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients who have experienced abuse, sexual assault, drug addiction, and violence to help them process their traumas and reclaim their lives.
