Therapists in Austin, TX

I specialize in working with adult survivors of narcissistic, borderline, or antisocial (psychopathic) parents. I also work with people struggling with partners who have these disorders. As a result of this work, I am also skilled in working with trauma. I can help you learn to live without fear, understand your emotions better, and manage your trauma symptoms instead of the managing you. Life is too short to live in fear, to be continually overwhelmed by your emotions, or to be stuck in toxic relationships. I can help you find your way out.

I work with couples, families and individuals, to improve communication and to reduce conflict in their relationships. Perhaps you're navigating difficult life changes, that might include separation, divorce, infidelity, illness, aging, career change, regrets, retirement and/or the passing of a loved one. In therapy, you can explore these issues, without judgement, contemplate the changes you desire, and set a new path for your future. You may find my services to be especially helpful if you find yourself stuck in an unbalanced partnership with someone who is toxic or narcissistic. Life can be difficult, and therapy can help.

Clients are looking for safety and trust in therapy. They have experienced loss, trauma, changes, choices... in short they have experienced life in its entire spectrum. We all need help navigating our own unique spectrum of life at times and therapy is a great place to get that help! We all want to feel we matter and are heard. We want to feel known to someone. Someone who listens and hears. Someone who may have experienced something similar or worked with a similar issue. Someone who will walk with us through the challenges we are facing. That is what therapy is here for. Are you ready?

I believe relationships define each of us and form the foundation for our life. I work from a systemic perspective with couples, individuals, and families to create relationships that define not only who we are, but also who we desire to become. I help clients with their relationships, intimacy, connection, communication, and sexual compatibility. I work with a lot of women who have suffered from Narcissistic abuse in relationships and family of origin. I also help those who are confused in their current relationships. I enjoy helping those who have autoimmune disease and cancer redefine their sexuality, relationships and desire.

At Restoration House Texas, our goal is to challenge and empower individuals in order to promote healing. Our therapists specialize in meeting people where they are and holistically allowing them to elevate to where they wish to be.

I deeply believe in the human capacity for growth in the face of incredible adversity. Pain is oftentimes inevitable, but suffering is optional. For those brave enough to reach out for support in trying times, I offer a new way to draw upon inner strengths and reframe how you relate to your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My aim is to compassionately work with you to understand your concerns and their impact.

Please note that all my sessions are now via video. I think therapy is about change. Sometimes the change is simply accepting yourself more. Sometimes it's changing your situation. A lot of times it's changing how you work with your situation, such as relationships, finances, or your own emotions. I love to work with clients who are hungry for change. Together we can figure out HOW to get you that change. Like most therapists, I enjoy working on relationship issues. I probably enjoy more than most working on how to deal with your emotions (how can I best handle my anger? vulnerability?) and on self-acceptance.

We are all on an individual journey desiring balance, joy, and happiness, possessing a strong hunger for hope. If we can simply master how to just be, we may have an invaluable opportunity to connect with inner peace and positivity.

I've provided and supervised counseling services for over 30 years in a variety of settings with all age groups. My experience and training has convinced me of several things i.e., relationships define our sense of self; we look to our relationships for comfort and safety; when we are validated we function better and these important relationships support our continued growth and well-being. I believe successful counseling is a commitment to create a safe place that allows each person to communicate their needs at a deeper, more genuine level, and practice more effective ways of relating to others.

Hi, my name is Allison and I am a mental health therapist. I am licensed in Texas, Illinois, South Dakota, and Florida. I most enjoy working with people who experience high emotion dysregulation. These might include people with personality disorders, self-harm, ADHD, PTSD, anger issues, anxiety, and/or depression. I help people learn skills to gain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to build successful lives.

Your past is invading your present. Your emotions overwhelm you at times. Many of your relationships are unfulfilling - or outright painful. Your self-esteem is low to non-existent, and you often feel you aren’t good enough. Celebrating your successes is hard for you because you feel like you don’t deserve them. Your inner critic is your constant companion. And the worst part is: overcoming these obstacles seems like a huge mountain to climb. You don’t know where or who to go to for help. We all need connection more than ever right now. I’d love to help!

Disturbing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, disorientation, and explosive anger may be signs that important, but unseen, parts of ourselves need attention. I use a depth psychological approach to help clients develop greater awareness of who they are and what they need, so that they can use their symptoms as pathways to a more meaningful relationship with themselves and the world around them.

As a LPC in Austin, TX, it is my passion to work with individuals who are dealing with situations, behaviors or relationships that are causing them distress. I work with clients to create a highly-individualized treatment plan. I use an integrative approach, incorporating interpersonal and attachment-based interventions, as well as mindfulness, and trauma-informed modalities. My clients say they find me to be warm, empathic, and intuitive. My goal is for my clients leave every session feeling deeply heard and understood. I am EMDR-trained and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

We learn how to think about our thinking, and know about our knowing. We can learn how to be aware of our awareness, and explore our wiring and making a motion to rewire, if needed. I believe that we must learn to be vulnerable. Practicing vulnerability isn't about doing something for others. You're creating a soil, rich soil for you and your growth. You are raising your potential. You are positioning yourself. You are building a better, stronger you. I also believe that it is important in therapy that the client begin to look inward of themselves.
