Codependency Therapists in Hancock, Austin, TX

I enjoy working with adult individuals who are seeking counseling to address issues such as anxiety, panic, self-doubt, depression, grief, life transitions, divorce, fertility issues, OCD, parenting challenges, stress management, health issues, relationship problems, and family conflict.

Everyone goes through changes, but not everyone has the support or encouragement they may need. If you are experiencing a tough time dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, PTSD, trauma, couples issues, or general family system issues, therapy may be helpful. If your goal is to experience joy and make meaning even during tough situations, therapy may be just what you need. We are all hard wired to seek meaning and happiness, therapy is one of the most effective ways to bring these back to your life.

Are you struggling to find meaningful connection or fulfilling relationships? Do you find yourself going back to toxic situations despite your better judgement?

In addition, I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of connection and trauma.

Welcome! My name is Zachary Durham, M.S. and I am Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have been an active counselor for the past 15 years and have specialized in marriage and family therapy for most of my career. My areas of focus include anxiety, coping skills, depression, family conflict, stress, relationship issues, trauma and PTSD, and self esteem, amongst others. I have also worked in the hospital setting for 12 years and specialized in brain injury recovery and grief therapy.

A sense of belonging. Feeling seen and understood. Feeling comfortable with your actions and responses to loved ones, co-workers, and acquaintances. To make meaning of how your life has gone so far and, perhaps, find some peace within your story. Sometimes these real, human desires can feel daunting without some support... My approach is extremely genuine, compassionate, and ... real. I have many years of experience working with clients who have encountered challenges in life transitions, identity/sexuality, relationships, historical family trauma, depression/anxiety, and questioning what it means to live their truth in life.

Please note: The VERY best way to get in touch is by email rather than phone. Are you feeling stuck in your life? Let’s sit together and explore all that weighs on you. I think of counseling as a form of mentoring. You have the answers in yourself. My role is to be your companion and guide in accessing your own wisdom and power. You are stronger and more creative than you know. Therapy is an experience where I stay completely present to you, and help you explore, heal, and grow.

Sometimes life is hard. It gets tough for all of us. In my opinion, knowing when to reach out for support is a sign of great strength and hope. Let's figure it out together.

“Transformation is my passion and purpose. Addiction is a larger call to make deep and lasting changes, both for the sufferer as well as their families. Although at times the process of recovery can be uncomfortable and challenging, our perseverance through it can lend way to a dynamic and beautifully integrated future.“ - Jobi Weinstein

I am passionate about helping individuals see and value the good in themselves. Oftentimes our minds can fool us into believing that we are not worthy, not enough, or unloveable. These are generalized falsehoods that are usually rooted in trauma. I work to create a safe space for you to begin to confront such negative core beliefs - to stare them down - in order to begin to challenge, dismantle, and replace them with new, positive beliefs.

Life often presents us with challenges that impact our emotional well-being. Sometimes, these challenges arise from our early experiences, shaping how we interact with ourselves and others. We may have learned to disconnect from our needs, emotions, or even from those around us. While these coping mechanisms may have helped us in the past, they can become limiting patterns that no longer align with our present desires and goals. Through therapy, we have the opportunity to update our inner templates and work through struggles, freeing us up to connect with our lives in the ways we want to.

You are making the choice to embrace a new empowered you! Realizing that there is strength in finding support, this choice can lead you to a positive path of growth and well-being. Applying integrative therapeutic techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. If you're looking for support and guidance through challenging situations or you're ready to move in another direction, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. In a creative atmosphere I can help you uncover your true potential and a life worth celebrating!

I will demonstrate a full and accepting understanding of your difficulties, and I will listen keenly and show complete respect. I work to make sessions time-effective, frequent when needed and intermittent when feasible. We'll collaborate toward pragmatic solutions, and work toward your goals, not mine. I will challenge you and exert "gentle" pressure at times. I check regularly on how you feel about the therapy process and our working relationship. The quality of our working relationship is fundamental. We expect problems to arise at times, and we take care of them right away.
