Therapists in Austin, TX

Currently only accepting clients for Teletherapy. The individual who seeks to improve their quality of life would greatly benefit from having me as their counselor. Each session is goal-oriented and an educational process towards insight and awareness which can greatly improve a client's perspective of themselves; the world; and themselves in the world. I believe in short term, brief solution focused therapy to maximize time and therapeutic interventions. I strive to form a therapeutic alliance with my clients and act as a guide and mentor through all of life's challenges. For more information, go to marywebbtafoyapllc.com

I use a person centered approach that puts you in the drivers seat as I empathetically provide guidance from the passenger seat through curiosity, patience, and authenticity. As a researcher and clinician, I'm not a touchy/feely therapist who speaks in sterile therapist jargon or feel good proverbs, so I best work with clients who are willing to do the work by vulnerably exploring and addressing underlying issues contributing to current suffering. We would be a good fit if you are ready to explore paths to healing and improving overall quality of life through collaborative, solution focused strategies, trust, and a bit of humor!

Stress is a natural result of facing life's challenges and necessary for growth. Finding balance allows us to manage stress. With 34 years of experience working with children, adults, couples and families, I can help you and those you love navigate the journey of growth and self-discovery, develop and prioritize strategies for achieving your goals and find balance. I start by performing a solution-focused interview to identify and build upon your unique strengths and resources. I have faith in the perseverance of the human spirit, given the right amount of time, support and the necessary tools.

Trauma? Infidelity? Desire personal growth? Letting go of unhealthy or destructive ways of thinking - even when we know they aren't working - can be difficult and hurtful. With support, however, even the most challenging issues can be explored and addressed to help create a clearer path to the life/relationship you choose. Every person comes to therapy with a beautifully unique cultural background and personal history. I celebrate these individual differences. Ask about my specialized training for treating trauma! I am also a Board approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Texas.

For most people, the last few years have been unusually intense. Scary and unpredictable. And yet many have responded with compassion, and a willingness to work together. This is us at our best. Today, you may be struggling. You may be looking for help with important decisions in your life. Perhaps there's someone you love but you have problems getting along. Or maybe you're just tired of feeling anxious, depressed, or angry.

Hardly anybody I know aspires to be that average, center-of-the-bell-curve person. In different ways, we all deviate from the norm, which explains our own uniqueness. My aim as a therapist is to work with individuals, couples, triads, and families in a way that celebrates their uniqueness and "incurable deviance." By meeting you where you are, with who you are, in a way that makes best use of your unique strengths, hopes, dreams, and quirks, we can work together as client(s) and therapist to help you address your current challenges, get lots more of what you want, develop skills, transform, and explore new choices available to you.

Couples come to me when they are sick of small disagreements turning into BIG arguments. Many therapists start with the problems… I start with solutions. I’ve created simple tools to help couples communicate based on seeing what successful couples do differently for over 20 years in practice.

You're wanting to start counseling and here you are, at the first step. So how do you choose a therapist out of a sea of faces? I think the truth is pretty simple: you go with your gut. Lots of evidence shows that it is the counseling relationship-rather than theory or modality used-that is the causal factor of change. It's my firm belief that the overriding factors needed in that relationship are trust, patience, and kindness. You'll get those from me because that's what I give myself. That's what leads to change.

As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great marriage and life. You’re accomplished, always loving to each other and close with friends and family. But on the inside, you have never felt so alone. Over the years you have tried to rationalize, fix, and excuse your relationship growing apart, yet it is disheartening. Something just does not feel right anymore, and you begin to realize you feel like you have a roommate rather than a partnership. Maintaining a fulfilling and loving relationship can be a challenge in today's fast paced environment.

We all have times when life's challenges require us to look for hidden solutions and opportunities. It is a privilege to provide effective assistance and encouragement during those times. Blending traditional, positive, client-centered psychotherapy with leading-edge neuroscience, I offer a mind-body approach and a wide variety of therapy options. From individual, couples and family therapy to sports psychology, EMDR and EEG Neurofeedback, you can select the treatment experience right for you. Please call today for a free phone consultation and visit our web site, www.PeakInstitute.com.

Are you doing the same things over and over, expecting different results? Do the circumstances you face feel frustrating or overwhelming? Are you afraid things are never going to change? If you find yourself facing the same struggles repeatedly and you feel unhappy or unsatisfied, it may be time to consider a consultation with a professional. Seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness, but an assertion of your inner strength.

I am a Bowen family systems therapist working with clients from the standpoint of your internal and external connections (partner, family, coworkers, and community). Because no one functions entirely alone, relationship problems can produce distressing symptoms that can often be alleviated by addressing the roles, rules, and goals we may be defining quite differently. Communication brings understanding. Faith in ourselves, in safe others, and in a benevolent Source that gives meaning to our experience are vital resources for the growing seasons of life that come to all. Phone me to discuss your situation; I'd like to be of help.

We live in an extraordinary stressful time. Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or lonely? Maybe you face issues of love and relationship, career and money, health and happiness, or bereavement and loss. Perhaps you are simply sick of repeating the same self-defeating patterns. Whatever the case, we can figure it out together. I will guide you in the journey of self-inquiry that will lead to creating something beautiful and extraordinary in your life no matter the circumstance. Life will take on new meaning and purpose as you begin to explore and discover and love who you are.

So you're doing the best you can & feeling it's just not good enough. Let's face it, you have limited resources & it's easy to feel overwhelmed by work, family, & society. If your life is out of balance & you can't remember how happiness felt; your procrastination or self medication is catching up with you; or you cannot communicate effectively with your family & the situation is spiraling out of control? It doesn't have to be this way. If you are finally sick and tired of feeling sick and tired...Let me help.

You want more. That is how you have lived your entire life, chasing one accomplishment after another. Anyone could see your life and think, wow, you have it all! But at the same time, you feel shameful for not being satisfied. And you find yourself feeling ungrateful for feeling that something is missing. And yes, there are moments when you feel happy but then become overshadowed by this emptiness impacting your relationships, business, and health as it all screams for your attention. If this resonates with you, it is not by accident. I am you. I did the work that led me to live the life I want, and desire the same for you.

Hello fellow veterans! My name is Cathryn McHenry and I am a trauma-informed marriage and family therapist. Knowing what you want and knowing how to get it, are two very different things, and some obstacles can seem impossible to conquer on your own. That's when having a trail guide is most valuable. After establishing a core foundation of trust and respect, we can scope out that landscape together and create a plan. When life becomes difficult to navigate, I’m here to walk with you.
