"As a psychotherapist I strive to assist my clients in the process of becoming more whole in all aspects of their lives. My primary training is as an art therapist and I use an integrative approach to promote healing. I find that enhancing talk therapy with experiential methods gives my clients the freedom to express their deepest selves. Within the therapeutic relationship we can find the existing internal nuances and textures that make us all unique and valuable. My work includes seeing individuals, adolescents and adults, who have depression/anxiety, past trauma, addiction related issues and middle-aged challenges."

"I strive to create a warm and trusting relationship with my clients as a base from which to explore their emotions, thought processes, and relationships that are contributing to their current distress. I then act as a guide in helping clients move toward the change they want to see in their lives. My approach to therapy is relational, integrative, and collaborative. I weave mindfulness and self-compassion into explorations of past and current relationships and the building of new coping skills to help clients better manage their current difficulties and change underlying patterns."

"I LOVE my work because I get to help people help themselves. With almost 20 years experience, I have worked with adolescents, adult individuals, couples and families, providing a safe place to express and explore their concerns and challenges as well as hopes and dreams. Whether you are new to the idea of counseling or are looking for someone with a fresh perspective, I'd be happy to hear from you and discuss the possibility of our working together. Ultimately, the journey is yours to determine and follow. I will simply provide guidance through open and honest reflection."

"Many of us feel very alone when we are managing difficult relationships in our lives. However, you do not have to manage these challenges by yourself! I am here to provide help, compassion, and support. Utilizing Christian values, I assist my clients by helping them gain insight into their situation as well as by helping them develop skills to better manage their specific challenges."

"I have over 30 years of experience as a llcensed clincal psychologist treating inviduals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and adjustment concerns. I specialize in treating mood and relationship issues with both men and women. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy techniques in combination with other modalities, I work to assist individuals and couples develop skills, strategies and insights to more effectively relate to others and manage stress and emotions. I particularly strive to create an environment of trust and comfort in addressing issues of concern."

"Hello! I am Alexandra Waugh, a licensed professional counselor intern serving adolescents and adults in Austin, Texas. I believe that we all possess the strengths we need to tackle our issues, but sometimes we need help bringing these strengths to the surface. My goal is to empower my clients and help them discover their amazing potential. I provide a warm, safe space for clients to feel comfortable identifying, exploring, and replacing the problematic thoughts and behaviors that have kept them from living their most valued life."

"Do you want to reclaim, or perhaps discover, who you are and what brings you pleasure in life? Whether you are seeking help with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, a lack of direction, or other difficulties, I provide support and challenge when needed to assist you in creating a more enjoyable and meaningful life. An important part of our work together involves exploring what obstacles, both internal and external, are preventing you from moving forward. I use targeted questions to help you identify patterns, make connections, uncover unproductive ways of thinking, and highlight your areas of strength."

"I specialize in women's issues: mother/daughter relationships, organizing big feelings, struggles with anxiety and uncertainty, difficulties with intimate relationships. I help women learn to trust themselves and connect more with their present moment experience - this includes emotions and the body - which becomes a source of internal strength, information about the self, and felt change. I'm in this work to help people grow, to give them an experience of relating from an authentic place where they get to have a confident and clear sense of self. I help people find what feels most true and right for them."

"I believe that many of the problems individuals face can be worked through by gaining increased insight and knowledge about oneself. I also believe individuals heal themselves and often just need an objective, caring presence to help them take the first step. I specializes in both therapy and psychological assessment and frequently works with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, OB/GYNs, and other physicians in the collaborative treatment of patients."

"I work with both adults and adolescents. For over twenty-five years I have been successfully helping individuals have healthier and happier lives. Anxiety; panic attacks; depression; grief; sadness; anger; guilt; shame; confusion; physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; feelings of hopelessness or helplessness are all problems that can be dramatically changed for the better. I also have helped many people with chronic physical pain. I enjoy my work and welcome the opportunity to work with new clients."

"My ideal client is any person wanting to work on themselves, regardless of what brought you here. Most of my clients have a goal of feeling in control of themselves and their lives."

"'Ring the bells that still can ring; forget your perfect offering; there is a crack in everything; it's how the light gets in.' (Leonard Cohen) When clients come in with cracks in their lives, I am committed to pointing towards the light. I love my job. Although I am educated and experienced in classical psychotherapeutic theory and practice, I have a spiritual foundation to my work. I encourage my clients to connect to an inner, Loving Wisdom -- and I am committed to doing the same. It is through that connection that we both are healed."

"I support men and women struggling with their pain. Sometimes old events, losses, and ways of behaving bog you down or keep you feeling stuck. Maybe you are overwhelmed relating with your partner, friends, or kids- or you feel isolated and alone. Today's fast paced changes may leave you anxious and unsure. Sometimes that anxiety expands into full blown panic and fear. Together we can explore ways to shift reactive and impulsive behaviors that magnify your suffering. I will help you access your inner wisdom and healing so you may experience deeper connection with others and life feels more fulfilling."

"*CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. I work with children, teens, and adults seeking help for anxiety, depression, relationship issues and trauma. I have extensive training in trauma assessment, diagnosis & treatment, including sexual abuse, physical abuse and neglect, as well as single incident events that have impacted you or your family. Many of my clients struggle with family of origin issues and relationship difficulties, and are looking for support, clarity and healing. Additionally, I have worked with the foster care system for over 18 years, including all members of the adoption triad, providing parenting support and guidance for individuals and families."

"Available for new clients. I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model to connect with adolescents, individuals and couples in a caring, respectful and therapeutic way. I elicit deep exploration of the neurological states that interfere with living freely, in order to support exploration of needs, to inform challenges, and to encourage utilization of challenge as a vehicle for growth. I strive to augment capacity for intentional change, to foster the strengthening of relationships (with self and others) and to promote well-being."

"Are you struggling to find healthier ways to cope with the challenges life has presented? Perhaps you have a history of relapse or worry that therapy won't help you. You do not have to do it alone; seeking counseling is a courageous first step. My counseling style is warm, empathetic, integrative, pragmatic and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions and, at times, even humorous insights to help you practice new ways to thrive. I am here to guide and support you on your journey. "

"I practice from a practical, no-nonsense relational stance where we work collaboratively and you can count on empathic yet honest feedback about what might be troubling you. Where possible, I integrate the latest scientific research about what actually works in therapy to try to assist you along your personal journey."

"Life can be difficult and full of unexpected challenges. I work with adolescents, adults and families in addressing these challenges, finding new ways to cope and function more effectively. I have experience treating disordered eating, body image, self harm, anxiety, interpersonal issues and depression. I also have experience assisting those going through life transitions such as divorce, job changes, and grief. While having been trained in dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy, I also incorporate other theoretical backgrounds in my approach, depending on client need and individual personality."

"I believe that we are all capable of feeling our best. In order to do that, we often need support and help. I offer somatic psychotherapy: body-focused psychotherapy, the John Barnes' method of Myofascial Release (MFR) and processing the MFR session to help integrate what the client has experienced in the session. As a body-centered therapist, I help people who may be stuck in their healing process and are in need of more than just talk therapy.By utilizing both psychotherapy and/or John Barnes' Myofascial Release, I can help clients heal more effectively."

"I specialize in working with teens, families, millennials, adults and couples (LGBTQ welcomed) with working through life transitions, depression, loneliness, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and relationship challenges. I show up as a real person and strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration, growth and healing. My therapy style is warm, straightforward, collaborative and relational. I use attachment-oriented therapies, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic work, mindfulness, anxiety management tools, EMDR and EFT. My sweet and calm dog, Kala, often joins my sessions. "
