Therapists in La Grange, TX

Finding the right therapist can be difficult, maybe you have asked yourself questions like “will they “get” me?”, “do they know what it’s like to feel torn in multiple directions?” Or maybe, if you are anything like me, you have asked yourself “is there something wrong with me?”, “where are the therapists that look, even vaguely, like me?” As a half-Asian, bicultural woman of color, I’m passionate about supporting others who live at the intersection of multiple identities.

My clinical background comes from years of experience and practice working with diverse populations. Each situation/issue/fear/concern is viewed as an opportunity for unblocking a personal path towards inner growth and living a fuller life. As a therapist, I concentrate on what is of utmost important to the individual.(Completely bilingual- se habla español. Sirvase hacer una cita.)

Our experience in mental health runs decades deep. The primary clinical focus of Sound Mind Austin integrates issues related to peak performance, trauma, healing, gender violence, positive masculinity, and a drive to bridge the muse of music and mental health. We are trauma-informed licensed clinical psychotherapists and utilize techniques to deepen somatic comfort and strengthen mindfulness. These practices, alongside advanced applications in EMDR, clinical hypnosis, and mindfulness based psychotherapy, hold the power to strengthen progress, grow comfort, and heal trauma.

Feeling stuck, angry, depressed, or confused? Are you fed up, with yourself, your partner, or family members? Are you struggling financially? Are looking for a different career or starting one? Are your struggling with school or college? Do you have feelings and thoughts that you do not understand, and don't feel comfortable talking to friends or family about them? These are common experiences for many people in our complicated society. Sometimes people "act out", fall into addictions, just shut down, or make bad decisions. They want change, but are not sure how. That's when counseling and analysis can really help.

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.

I have helped couples for 30 years to transform their relationship using Imago Relationship Therapy. I teach couples a communication skill set that foster emotional maturity and respect. This changes relationships. Being in relationship can be challenging during the second stage of relationship when the newness recedes and irritations begins. The Imago model increases consciousness and healing around the origins of conflict. This awareness empowers couples in their ability to change so they are no longer victims to dysfunctional patterns. I incorporate a psycho-spiritual approach in my Imago work as well as individual counseling.

I believe there is always hope. Hope to reach balance. Hope to reach peace. Hope to heal. Hope to grow. With the help of a strong therapeutic relationship and appropriate interventions, I believe individuals can learn more about themselves through exploring past and present life occurrences. Within that process, present and future doubts, fears, or concerns can simultaneously be addressed.

I believe in humanistic philosophy. People have room to grow in order to fulfill their life yearnings. However, many life experiences possibly block that potential and these blocks show as depression, anxiety, and many other symptoms. I want to be with people to assist in the enrichment of their lives. Individuals need to be healthy in various levels to share their lives in a family and a community. We can explore together to find what is interfering in life and enrich them to reach true potentials.

As past Chief of Allied Staff of a inpatient psychiatric hospital plus 20+ years of private practice, I provide a strong base of clinical skill and experience for all my clients.

Who really gets you? Not feeling heard or appreciated? Lonely? Time to be bold? Change is hard and can be scary, but we change by taking one small step. That takes courage.

I'm a Queer Therapist serving clients in person in Central Austin and virtually to all Texas residents. I work with relationships (couples, polycules, and adult family members) and individuals.

"You are here on earth because there is something that only you can do!" Choosing Now as the time to act and being fully present in your body and in your relationships will take you to infinite possibilities. All of life's answers lie in how deep you are connected to yourself. Do not turn your attention elsewhere to look for the truth, for it is nowhere to be found but within your body.

Do you ever feel your point is just not getting across to your family or loved ones no matter how hard you try? I can help bridge that gap. My approach to therapy focuses heavily on collaborating with families and individuals, and together working towards coming up with solutions to make life ultimately happier. In a therapeutic setting, problems can be deconstructed and processed more efficiently so the family can learn to work together.
