Therapists in Old West Austin, Austin, TX

I am a licensed psychologist with over 30 years of experience working with clients. My work is based upon my belief that human beings are inherently good and yet all too often adopt limiting belief systems and habitual behavioral patterns which keep us from realizing our true nature. I work with clients who wish to regain their balance and integrity and assist them in learning how to live the lives they intuitively know they are meant to live. Clients often present with depression, anxiety and/or relationship difficulties and seek to feel better and sustain more on-going joy, love, and harmony in their lives.

If you would like to partner with a very active and dynamic therapist, I may be a good fit for you.

Dr. Sabine Volkmann is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Sabine has experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, substance abuse issues, trauma and PTSD. The treatment modalities that she employs include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused therapy and reality therapy.

Are you struggling with recent personal or societal events, past or present traumas or losses, life transitions, or general life stressors? Do you need help navigating how to deal with these things in a productive, meaningful, or healthy way? Then you have come to the right place and I am happy you are here. We can expect to experience at least one or all of the above issues at some point in our lives, but we are not expected to endure them alone. I enjoy helping people who are struggling with grief, anxiety, boundaries, life transitions, & illness to name a few; while providing a warm, safe space for you to be authentic and heard.

I help people free themselves from the wrath of a harsh inner critic, get unstuck from unhealthy situations, and start living instead of just surviving. If you are living with anxiety, depression, unproductive anger, the impact of trauma, or relationship struggles--including parenting neurodiverse or gender-questioning children, I welcome you. I provide a safe, compassionate, emotionally attuned space so you can feel supported as we explore what brings you into therapy. Whatever your struggle, I believe it is possible to navigate pain, gain strength, and experience greater fulfillment through the therapeutic relationship we create.

Thank you for stopping by. For more info about my services, please visit www.MyAustinTherapist.com. A psychologist for 20 years, my goal is to help bring positive change to all aspects of your life and your future. It may be through helping you feel good again, improving your self-esteem, developing better relationships, leading a more rewarding life, or achieving your goals; to be empowered, cope with stress or help with identity development.

Whether one seeks relief from anxiety, trauma, relational impasses, or life disillusionment, therapy can help. It is unfortunate that insufficiently engaged approaches to therapy, prohibitive rates, and the unconscionable reluctance of most clinicians to accept insurance fail so many clients, who in good faith seek to discover a healing of heart and mind. As a psychodynamic therapist, I view my role as an empathic change agent employed to help bring about a fuller knowledge of self and a more liberated experience of life and relationship. I also supervise highly promising interns from NWU available for as low as $15-30 per session.

I am a career counselor and psychotherapist. My approach is to collaboratively explore your thoughts, beliefs and life experiences to help you gain greater self-knowledge and enable you to live a more satisfying life. Whether you are in the midst of a life struggle or not necessarily in crisis but looking to improve your general quality of life and well being, I believe our work together will empower you to cope with life difficulties in a productive way as you break negative patterns and have a deeper connection to yourself and others.

No matter the stories you bring in or the identities that you hold, my aim is to create a safe space for you to find healing. I have experience with clients of all ages, from littles to the more-seasoned. I have worked with interpersonal violence survivors, borderline personality disorder, complex PTSD, LGBTQ+ populations, empty-nesters, neurodivergent folk, and those experiencing faith deconstruction or spiritual abuse. I am now taking virtual clients from all over Texas!

"If you are in a relationship, it can always be better. If you are coming out of a relationship, do it with integrity." While my practice and approach is appropriate for general mental health support, I provide specially-designed sessions for individuals or couples seeking healing, emotional support, and skills for managing healthy, life-giving relationships.

I am currently accepting new clients - Perhaps you're reaching out because life's stressors have become overwhelming, relationships are challenging, or symptoms are too intense to handle alone. I specialize in depth-oriented therapy for adults facing personal, professional, or family challenges. I also work with people who feel generally resilient and successful but are navigating significant or acute levels of stress.
