Therapists in Bee Cave, TX

Hello! My name is Leah and I use she/her pronouns. I’ve been a practicing clinical social worker for over 10 years. I would describe my therapeutic approach as warm and collaborative with a focus on building safe and inclusive spaces that encourage curiosity, creativity, and insight. I believe in the importance of choice to establish a foundation on which clients can engage in therapy as their authentic selves and I value humor and transparency along the way.

Do you ever wonder how you are going to get through a major life transition? When life takes you to a place of uncertainty, and you begin to question yourself and your ability to make quality decisions, wondering, "is it normal to feel this way?" Whether your changing jobs, starting a career, moving to a new area, or have a chronic illness, change can be stressful and requires a series of adjustments to get back to a sense of life balance. Much of my professional expertise focuses on life transition and the impact of change throughout the lifespan, from young teens to older adults.

I'm glad you've taken a moment to connect with me here. As a seasoned therapist, my primary goal is to offer you a warm, empathic, and holistic space where you feel heard and understood. Life, with its complexities, often leaves us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a whirlwind of negative thoughts and behaviors. But remember, you don't have to traverse these challenges on your own. I'm here, ready to walk alongside you with compassion, insight, and effective strategies.

Are you riddled with anxiety, stuck in recurring, unhelpful patterns within your relationships? Is the grip of fear, anxiety, and depression leading you into a shame-induced spiral, hindering your ability to engage with life and connect with others? Perhaps you're grappling with uncertainty, unsure of your thoughts, needs, or the path forward. Trauma can cast a long shadow, leaving us feeling despondent, drained, and isolated. It can push us towards negative coping mechanisms, prompting us to shut the world out. In some moments, you might feel like you've lost a part of yourself, but you are not alone. You deserve to be truly seen.

As a psychologist licensed in both NY and TX, my aim is to help people understand and overcome challenges that are restricting their well being, relationships, and effectiveness at work. For adults, I specialize in these issues: high-achievers, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, parenting, marital or family conflicts, anxiety and depression (e.g., social anxiety, covid-19 related). It is truly rewarding to watch my clients become more self-regulated, more satisfied in their relationships, and more equipped to handle life’s stressors through learned coping skills.

Are you experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, issues with intimacy, and sexual desire? I am a sex-positive, non-monogamous, BDSM/KINK, LGBTQIA+ affirming relationship therapist. Let's work together! Perhaps you lack self-compassion, you are self-conscious, or maybe you're unsure about the future of your relationship. An important aspect of therapy is examining our inner world, relationships, thoughts and feelings in a safe non-judgmental space. Using an integrative approach, I aim to create a positive therapeutic relationship that promotes healing with compassionate self-exploration. Contact me today!

Licensed since 1993 and in private practice since 1999. Previous work-related experience includes working at a residential treatment center, youth shelter, juvenile detention center, chemical dependency unit, adolescent and adult in-patient hospital, Employee Assistance Program, crisis intervention, in-take assessments, and intensive out-patient programming. Over the past two decades, I have served individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. I am a certified and approved DOT Substance Abuse Professional.

Whether it's life challenges, obstacles or transitions that are prompting you to seek counseling, today you are one step closer to your personal journey of growth and healing. Fear of change is natural, but can prevent us from letting go of old beliefs, behaviors, ways of being and situations that are no longer beneficial to our wellbeing.

I provide therapy in a supportive, authentic and normalizing environment. I work to help others feel empowered as they work toward their goals and recognize how much they are able to shape their own lives when provided with effective tools and insight. I believe that the appropriate use of humor is extremely helpful and I strongly believe that it is not my place to judge you or to impose my values on you during the therapeutic process. I view counseling as a team effort where the counselor and client work together.

As a psychotherapist, my role is to help facilitate and support you, the client, in discovering, processing, and most importantly, deciding if changing some strategies you have needed to implement in negotiating your life is a next step in your treatment. It can take time to identify influencing factors in the problems experienced in life. Through the development of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, we will identify issues, if not already clear to you, and take action in the therapeutic relationship itself to develop the relational, emotional, and or behavioral skills you determine need to be the focus of your treatment.

Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.

I consider myself privileged, if not honored, to walk through the life journeys of my clients. I work in a collaborative and facilitative manner with those struggling in relationships, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or work/family issues to name a few. Working with couples and post-menopausal women and their individual struggles in their transitions is also something I enjoy. I believe therapy should be client-centered, goal oriented and short term in nature.

You’re tired. You’re overwhelmed. You don’t know what else to do. Feeling stressed day in and day out takes a toll on us. It sucks up our energy, makes us irritable towards our loved ones, and even weakens our immune systems. But let’s face it – life is stressful! Your kid is having a tantrum in the middle of the store, your boss is breathing down your neck, groceries are expensive, and you and partner keep having the same arguments on repeat. All of this leaves you feeling frustrated, hopeless, and just plain exhausted. That’s where we come in.

It is an honor and a privilege to journey alongside you as we work towards understanding the barriers that are preventing you from meeting your goals. I use an integrative approach of empirically based clinical techniques that are client centered. I work to meet you where you are. Together, we will dig deeper and look at the root of the problem. As we journey towards your goals, I will offer support, encouragement, and tools to help facilitate lasting change.

I specialize in working with individuals who want to boost mood & energy, overcome anxiety, manage stress and life changes, and improve relationships with friends, family, and oneself. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, difficult life changes, relationship problems, lack of balance, high stress, or problems with self-esteem, we will work to collaboratively figure out what you need in order to cope better with stress, enjoy life, stop focusing on your distress, relate better to the people who are important to you, and make healthy choices.

I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, & adults. I provide therapy for individuals who are experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, life transitions, school, & relationships. I have had the unique opportunity to work with people of all ages in private practice, inpatient hospitals, and a juvenile detention center over the past 13 years. I have experience with assessments, IEP, 504's, & school advocacy. I use an integrative approach & strive to understand the person as a whole. I provide an environment that is collaborative, inclusive, supportive, & empowering.

Relationships are difficult! Taking care of a partnership is not something we are taught how to do, and many of us didn’t have good models of this growing up. You and your partner are stuck in unhealthy patterns that you feel are related to your troubled past. Intimacy starts with a secure connection. When you feel safe in a relationship, you can disagree and be authentic. You can grow as individuals, without threatening the relationship. If you and your partner are resentful, feeling stuck, acting out, or otherwise off-course, then you may be in need of some help. I can support you in re-connecting and thriving again.
