Therapists in Austin, TX

Hi there, I’m so grateful we have crossed paths! We naturally go through ups and downs every season, and weaving them together is life. Our thoughts and emotions flow like water, and sometimes they get stuck in whirlpools or become stagnant. You are the expert of yourself; you get to determine how you want to flow in your life, and embrace your truest authentic self. By exploring your relationships with the land, your ancestors, and community, we can work towards aligning your body, mind and spirit. We can identify tools to unstick patterns and behaviors that are no longer needed in your life.

I believe that self-expression is key for confidence and healthy relationships. I work with people who are longing to find peace and connection; to face past hurts, manage overwhelming emotions, and face insecurities head-on, so they can better understand themselves and express themselves in connection with others. Together we explore pain points and self-talk that can lead to messy relationships, anxiety, sadness, shame, self-doubt, and burn-out. I work well with individuals who want to connect with their own power, to take responsibility for their part in relationships, & to express both their strength and softness with ease.

ChatGPT I understand that you're struggling with feelings of perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. Perfectionism can be like a relentless taskmaster, always demanding more and never satisfied. It can fuel anxiety, making you feel like you're constantly falling short of impossible standards. This cycle can lead to a sense of inadequacy and sadness, which may manifest as depression. It's important to recognize that these feelings are common, but they don't define you. Together, we can explore strategies to challenge perfectionism, manage anxiety, and alleviate depression, helping you to find more peace and fulfillment in your life.

While none of us are immune to challenges, learning to stay present makes a significant difference. It's been my honor, throughout my 27 years of practice, to accompany my clients on the path to healing and growth. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've supported individuals, couples, and families facing various challenges, including living with chronic health conditions, managing depression and anxiety, improving communication, and cultivating resilience in the face of traumatic experiences.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, grief, low self-esteem, boundary-setting, religious trauma, relationships, sex, shame, sexual trauma, sexuality, LGBTQ+/gender identity, life purpose and meaning, or all of the above, we'll work together to find your voice and strengthen your sense of self so you can really be you. We are each incredible, wonderful, complex beings who are deserving of love for being exactly who we are, even if society tells us otherwise!

We all encounter major stress and loss and often we recover well on our own. Sometimes life becomes overwhelming, confusing and too big to process alone. You can reach out for support, and you don’t have to do it alone. Through therapy, you have the power to focus on what helps you learn and grow. I am passionate about helping clients connect to their core values in therapy. We'll use mindfulness-based therapies to help you become aware of thoughts and behaviors that prevent you from experiencing a joyful and authentic life. I enjoy using humor, creativity and self-compassion in my practice.

I work with children, teens and young adults who struggle with anxiety, OCD, life transitions, identity, and LGBTQ+ issues. Clients often begin therapy with me in search of relief from OCD/anxiety, support managing the transition into college or adulthood, self-acceptance, a space to explore their identity, ways to create more meaningful relationships with others, or parenting support. I also work with parents to provide insight and teach skills that allow them to confidently support and respond to their child/teen struggling with OCD/anxiety. I am certified in and offer PCIT for children 7 and younger with behavioral challenges.

Do you need help to build confidence, pursue your passions, or create meaning in your life? Do you want to look at ways you can move past the stuck places and repetitive patterns that prevent you from experiencing more intimate and fulfilling relationships with yourself and others? Does anxiety/depression prevent you from trying? I specialize in helping people move through the parts of their lives that are not working and build new ways of thinking. I am rooted in mindfulness that helps guide my clients to be more self empowered and self actualized.

Has your sense of safety and security been compromised by trauma or adverse childhood experiences? Or perhaps lately you have been feeling “off” and are unsure what is wrong. Whether the issue you are experiencing is big or small, my objective is to create a safe space where we can collaborate to resolve any obstacles in the way of living the life you want. I specialize in working with individuals who have lived through traumatic experiences and/or struggle with depression, anxiety, stress or chronic pain that affects their well-being.

What if you could live your life with confidence, trust, understanding, and intimacy? If you're having a hard time, feeling disconnected, or having communication problems, I want to help. While my practice specializes in challenges around sex, communication, intimacy, and infidelity, over the years I've also had the privilege of working successfully with people bringing a broad range of other concerns to my office, including gender identity and transitions, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, and more. Things can change. Just by reaching out, you've already started down a path of insight and healing.

I know the visceral pain of grief and have joined many people in exploring the complex and ever-evolving emotions within it. I often work with people after the death of a loved one, including those who’ve lost someone to suicide, an often uniquely isolating experience. You may be experiencing loss related to a breakup, family disconnection, or change in identity. These bring grief, too. All sorts of life changes can deeply impact us and are worthy of attention. I also work with people seeking support for anxiety and self-criticism. If you’re really hard on yourself and want to cultivate more self-compassion, we may be a good fit.

Do you feel like your life lacks purpose or balance? Are you struggling with direction or motivation? Self-esteem and confidence feel at an all-time low? Struggling with accepting yourself? I see you. I help men, women, and nonbinary people work through their cognitive distortions to change their mindset and the way they speak to themselves. I believe in expanding an individual's unique strengths to achieve change and find a balance. I seek to empower my clients by using multifaceted methods and a whole-self approach.

Hi there. I’m Crystalyn and I’m a psychotherapist and counselor that specializes in Internal Family Systems therapy. I help clients bridge the gap from feelings of inadequacy, worry, burnout, frustration, and overwhelm to a place with more balance and harmony.

Hello! My name is Madeline & I specialize in ADHD, grief work, & women's issues around anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, & work-life balance. When I say I'm authentic in my work with clients, I truly mean it. I don't pretend to have all the answers (most of the time I don't have any), and I certainly don't "put on my therapist hat" before every session. Because I specialize in treating women with ADHD, I self-disclose rather often. I've found this to be an incredibly effective means to not only validate experiences but also to examine the roles shame and guilt play in clients' narratives and internal dialogues.

You might be dealing with some intense circumstances, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Having a nonjudgmental guide help sort through current and past pain can help make that process more manageable. As that guide, I am excited to help you turn down the volume of life's busyness, tune in to your inner self, and uncover unmet emotional needs. As you enter the safe haven of therapy each week, you will gain a freedom to be authentically you, learn how to better handle distress, and find ways to heal from past wounds that bog you down in current relationships.

I welcome you to join me in a safe space for compassionate self-exploration. I work with individuals who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and overwhelming emotions. I specialize in working with individuals who experienced difficult childhoods such as: dysfunctional families, emotionally immature parents, abuse and/or neglect, parental substance use and/or mental health issues, financial insecurity, immigration, or military brats.

Life is a rollercoaster (up, down, up, up, down) and the path to healing is not often a straight line. Are you going through a bad break up, in the middle of a life transition or struggling with anxiety, depression...? Whatever you may have going on, spending a hour a week with a therapist that gets you and is dedicated to helping you can really help light the path. You will develop insight and awareness, gain clarity, assert yourself with more confidence, set and maintain boundaries, learn how to love yourself fully and do all the things self care related. Ride or die, I'm in your corner.
