My name is Chelsea DeKruyff, MA, LPC. I am a compassion-centered, neuroscience-informed psychotherapist in Austin, Texas. I specialize in working with PTSD and trauma-related disorders, ADHD, relationships and codependency, and identity issues. You may feel like your experience is too big, that it would overwhelm a listener. You may also think that your experiences are inconsequential and don't warrant the attention of a therapist. If you hold either view, I encourage you to open yourself to new possibilities.

My philosophy for therapy is that it is a collaborative process of partnering to develop new tools to create change. I believe in creating a strong therapeutic alliance in order to help you feel empowered to try out new strategies to maximize the positive results that you can achieve. I have significant experience providing evidenced-based treatment for anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, social skills deficits, and parent training/coaching. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and parents. I provide psychological assessments for learning disabilities, ADHD, and social/emotional/behavioral concerns.

Loud inner-critic? You would never speak to others the way you do yourself, but the thought of being kind to yourself feels like an excuse. Maybe your anxiety is loud and you find yourself living in your head (a lot) and feel cut off from experiences and important relationships in your life. On the outside it appears that you have it all together, but internally, you feel like you're falling short, failing, and constantly overwhelmed. Maybe body image issues have been a part of your experience since you were a kid. Without effective skills, these challenges can take a toll on well-being and can make life smaller and smaller.

Everyone feels anxious at times. Anxiety motivates us to prepare for important events and protects us when we are in harm's way. However, anxiety becomes problematic when it is out of proportion to the situation in a way that interferes with daily activities. Though anxiety is very treatable, only about one-third of those suffering from an anxiety disorder receive treatment. With the right type of therapy, the prognosis for anxiety disorders is very good; however, without treatment, anxiety tends to become more debilitating.

Thanks for stopping by and taking the first step toward improving your life.

I am here to provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore and assist in finding new perspectives and areas for growth. I strive to meet my clients where they are, to build strength and resilience, while collaborating to change cycles of interaction that may keep them stuck and disconnected. I see families/individuals as beings desiring connection, love, and resolution.

NOT accepting new clients - Hi, I’m Brooke! I am passionate about educating clients to understand their thoughts and behavioral patterns better and learn healthy boundary setting with self and others to build resiliency. As a person-centered therapist, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey with my clients. On that journey I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness as tools to support understanding, learning, and internal shifts that result in sustainable relational and behavioral changes. I offer an honest and authentic approach, and my goal is to provide a warm and inviting environment.

If insta-therapy, self-help, and pop-psychology haven't felt like enough, I'd be honored to work with you. I specialize in people who struggle with depression, anxiety, managing stress, poor self-esteem, people-pleasing, codependency, perfectionism, and academic pressure. I am also passionate about working with artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, and other creatives who have been feeling creatively blocked, stagnant, or uninspired. Many clients also seek my help in finding ways to improve their mental health using a holistic approach instead of - or alongside - a pharmaceutical regimen.

I believe there is always hope for the future because everyone has the potential for change and healing, regardless of circumstance. Whether you have a clinical disorder or are dealing with personal problems, I can help you create a happier and more peaceful life. From family/relationship troubles and life transitions to issues of meaning making, my work is based on trust. You can be sure of finding a safe and comfortable place where you are free to be yourself and speak openly, without fear of judgment.

While anxiety can motivate and protect us, it can also become an overwhelming presence that may lead to some challenges. You may find that your anxiety prevents you from doing the things you want to do, achieving your goals, enjoying your relationships, and succeeding in school or at work. In an attempt to cope with and decrease anxiety, you may find that anxiety actually grows and becomes stronger. Through a supportive and collaborative environment, I would like to help you develop the skills needed to change your relationship with anxiety and gain back control of your life.

I provide therapy in a supportive, authentic and normalizing environment. I work to help others feel empowered as they work toward their goals and recognize how much they are able to shape their own lives when provided with effective tools and insight. I believe that the appropriate use of humor is extremely helpful and I strongly believe that it is not my place to judge you or to impose my values on you during the therapeutic process. I view counseling as a team effort where the counselor and client work together.

Are you feeling stuck in the same old patterns in your life and ready for a change? Maybe you're feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma and could use a hand in healing the past to experience freedom from it in the future. Have you noticed you keep getting into the same types of relationship challenges? It is normal for people to feel conflicted and get in our own way - it's part of being human! And we often need someone outside ourselves, friends, and family to help sort through the nitty-gritty thoughts, feelings, and fears. You don't have to face these issues alone.

Being an adult, millennial, or college student can be difficult to navigate in today's world. The constant push + pull of managing work opportunities (or lack thereof) and the hardship of relationship satisfaction can create feelings of anxiety and/or depression. You may appear to have it all together in your life; however, it's common to feel the pressures of juggling your work life with things such as high-functioning anxiety, today's dating culture, people-pleasing struggles, and managing stress. I work to create a warm, authentic, and safe place for you to discuss your concerns.

Now accepting new clients! - If you still see your negative past experiences affecting your present life, I can help you learn to process your thoughts, navigate life transitions, and accept change. Maybe you’ve felt ongoing anxiety or depression, and you know there’s a better version of you that you want to unlock. Maybe your relationships aren’t as fulfilling as you’d like. I understand what this is like, and my mission is to act as your companion, guiding you through new ideas and methods that can help you feel better.

I specialize in helping clients overcome recent traumatic events and ongoing challenges like anxiety (including performance anxiety), depression, or loss. Trauma or attachment wounds can lead to overreactions in situations, feeling trapped in negative belief systems, and significantly impact workplace performance and the ability to form healthy relationships. As a trauma-informed therapist, I take pride in supporting high-achieving individuals who feel limited in reaching their full potential and clients who have experienced secondary trauma, such as medical professionals, teachers, judges, and police officers.

Is your life a hot mess? Feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed? It can be difficult and emotionally taxing to struggle on your own. My goal is to provide a safe place where you can be honest and free of judgement about what is bothering you. And if that involves a few swear words, then so be it!
