Hello! I am Amanda, counselor of 15 years, wife of 17 years, and mother of 10 years and counting. I have been a resident of the North Austin area for the last five years and am a Texas native, though I did spend some time growing up in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. I am active in my son’s school, my church, and my community which I am happy to call home.

Do you have things you've been afraid to tell anyone, including a therapist? Do you have "dark thoughts," and maybe you just want it all to stop? You've endured trauma, pain, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe you made some bad choices. You're afraid of being judged, rejected, or your therapist not being able to handle your "stuff". Therapy should be a safe place where you can be your genuine self, and talk about whatever is weighing you down. You deserve a therapist who will listen to and support you with empathy, compassion, and without judgment.

Hello! Thank you for your time! I'm Janel McDonald, and my goal is to provide compassionate, non-judgemental, empathetic care. It's my mission to ease your feelings of apprehension and provide you with a safe and comfortable place to discuss your specific motivation for seeking counseling services. I served in the military for 22 years and have experience working with military veterans and civilians through some of the most challenging transitions in their lives. I would love the opportunity to help you.

As a licensed professional counselor, I am here to assist you in moving barriers out of the way for you to live your authentic life. My counseling includes an integrative/eclectic approach which allows me to apply components of several major counseling and psychological theories. I utilize many cognitive behavioral, mindfulness-based cognitive, rational-emotive behavioral, and solutions-focused techniques and incorporate many others based on your unique needs. I believe it is essential for wellness to elevate mind, body, and spirit and am here to provide an open, safe space for us to work toward your goals.

Everyone has the potential for greatness. It's a matter of how we learn to use life's experiences, challenges and triumphs to actualize the best of who we are. In exploring our history, communication habits, relationship and behavioral patterns, we earn more power in using this for good in our lives. Between balancing responsibilities, prioritizing relationships and simply getting out of the door every morning, it is easy to forget to make time for our own well being.

Counseling can help with issues that affect our behaviors and relationships. I’m here to offer support during times of transition. We will explore your attachment style and how you perceive and relate to the world and other people. We will set goals and create a plan to begin your journey of change. I am an ally to individuals in non-traditional relationships who may be facing issues related to non-monogamy, polyamory. I also work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and who are recovering from trauma.

OH, LIFE. It can be an inspiring, painful, delightful, and confusing adventure. With the many challenges and unknowns that we face along the way, why navigate it alone? Therapy is a supportive, non-judgmental secure space. It is best for identifying and breaking through irrational thought patterns, unresolved emotions, anxiety, depression, family of origin issues, life transitions, and trauma. Whatever your concern, your therapist will listen and attune to you in a compassionate way, offering gentle guidance through a unique fusion of traditional psychotherapy approaches, and integrative healing modalities.

To engage in the process of counseling is to act courageously and purposefully, ofttimes in the midst of difficult circumstances. I am honored to be present with you to help guide you through the process of self-discovery and change. Change is both challenging and possible, and I welcome you into my practice as you begin your journey, taking steps of positive action to achieve your goals.

The person who is looking to feel better and reach their optimum potential, however that looks to them, is the ideal client. I commend anyone who reaches out for help and I truly enjoy being a part of that journey. I feel comfortable with a wide range of needs/issues and love providing a solution focused approach to our time together.

Are you feeling stuck? Anxious and not where you want to be in life? I've been there myself and have worked with individuals and couples for over 15 years to help them overcome these hurdles. Life is hard and we all deserve a little time to focus on ourselves to work through these challenges. I strive to help people accomplish or exceed their goals and overcome things that are holding them back. I enjoy working with a diverse group of people from all backgrounds. I especially enjoy counseling young adults, veterans, first responders and those impacted by the criminal justice system.

If you find that you are struggling more than usual with anxiety, depression, or just an overall feeling that "things aren't right", you are not alone. I work with adolescents and adults to improve coping skills to deal with stress and anxiety, as well as life changes.

I love people! Especially working with women. Alway have. I discovered I loved helping women find their way out of feeling helpless and hopeless from their problems. It is such a joy to see someone find that inner strength within to empower them to achieve their goals.

I have 27 years of experience helping clients improve their overall well-being.

I am fluent in English and Spanish and am passionate about working with the LatinX and Hispanic community. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor. Additionally, I provide psychological evaluations related to immigration cases for those in need of this forensic assessment for pending legal processes for US citizenship or political asylum.

First, I would like to acknowledge your effort in reaching out to seek guidance. You have taken the first step in improving yourself. I understand it is hard when our initial expectations of how our life "should be" does not match what is happening in the moment. Many times, there are societal, familial and perhaps individual expectations that we feel obligated to fulfill. Sometimes these thoughts of a "normal" life interfere with what our true happiness could be, and this does need to be explored. Essentially, I would like to assist in shifting your perspective which will allow you to feel more balanced in your life.

I am a licensed professional counselor with a background in education who enjoys working with kids 10 and older, teens, and adults from all backgrounds and lifestyles. My approach to counseling is that life is messy but we are in this together. Everyone, whether child or adult, has a unique perspective with a need to feel love, belonging, and a chance to flourish. Together, we will explore finding that authentic inner voice through compassionate self-reflection and inquiry as we work towards personal goals, behavior changes, or perspective taking.

I believe there is no typical addict each person is uniquely different and so are the situations in your lives that have taken to this place. I also believe that including families is an essential tool to helping the entire unit heal and reconnect. Correct Choices lead us to harmony with all things, no matter how long and hard the road can get. Life's cycles, eternal motion and the choices we are confronted with always give us Another Chance for Change. I accept some major insurance. Unlike other programs, I understand that sometimes getting seen is urgent and you don't want to wait weeks. I attempt to get clients in within 24 hours. And I am like you; I hate waiting in the reception area to see the counselor, therefore I make every attempt to stay on schedule this is a priority to me so that I won't disrespect your time. I am currently work towards a PhD. in Addiction since I find helping those who struggle with substance use disorders important and fulfilling.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families and believe that every person and situation are unique and should be treated that way. Therefore, I am eclectic in my approach to counseling and am plain spoken and work in the here and now. Let's work together to remove what's standing in your way of being your authentic self in a safe and confidential environment.
