Hello there! My name is Dr. Austin Aibel. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I specialize in eating disorders and body image issues. I have also done a lot of work with folks struggling with trauma, OCD, chronic illness/complex medical conditions, and identity concerns. I often work with individuals in their teens, twenties, and thirties (but love working with people across the age spectrum). I am passionate about this work and this shows in sessions. I am not a "smile and nod therapist"- Clients have described me as interactive, genuine, and energetic.

I have worked extensively through the years with clients who struggle with severe and debilitating anxiety, performance anxiety, social anxiety, athletic performance, e-sports performance, obsessive compulsive disorder ( OCD), emotional expression, and communication difficulties.
I’m a big believer that therapy doesn’t have to be buttoned-up or artificial. It should be comfortable and real. I prefer to facilitate a casual, collaborative, & affirming environment where we can openly discuss anything that’s on your mind and empower you to explore who you are and how you relate to others. I specialize in working working with athletes (professional and amateur), e-sports athletes, musicians, poly relationships and fellow therapists in individual, relationship, and family contexts.

I specialize in working with trauma, dissociation, mood disorders, anxiety, and OCD.
I am a humanistic psychotherapist with a passionately client centered approach to therapy. Living with symptoms and/or living through experiences that are overwhelming can rupture confidence in ourselves and in our ability to adapt to life's challenges. My goal is to help clients repair and deepen this trust in themselves over the course of therapy. No matter how great the challenges, I believe that we all naturally move towards growth and healing when in an environment of safety and support. I build therapeutic relationships grounded in authenticity, collaboration, and respect.

Whether you are recovering from a break up, dealing with sexual or identity issues, suffering from obsessive thoughts, processing early sexual trauma, or just don't feel like you anymore, lets start talking.
Personally, I know how difficult it was for me to get out of bed when suffering from depression and anxiety and to go about the everyday when concerned about having another panic attack. I know how valuable it was for me to have someone to talk to that wouldn't judge me or make me feel guilty about being exactly where I was at the time. The idea of "you should be fine", or "you have no reason to be anxious or depressed" is hurtful and doesn't help.
