Therapists in Austin, TX

Andy believes that each person has a unique story to tell and works collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families to better understand themselves and find the best path forward. The first step on this path is in the fostering of a welcoming and inclusive environment for his clients, which begins by being curious and allowing them to speak their voice.

MARRIAGE AND COUPLES COUNSELING IS MY SPECIALTY. I work with couples of all ages to help you improve communication, regulate conflict, find the "spark" that may have dimmed, and heal after the trauma and pain of infidelity. I help couples stay on firm footing while navigating transitions in their relationship, such as becoming parents, parenting older children, caring for elderly parents, illness, and other issues impacting relationships.

If you are here today because you are struggling with personality disorders, depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, grief or trauma you are in the right place. Counseling is a journey that we can all benefit from, whether one is seeking to process trauma, navigate a major life challenge, or learn how to cope with day-to-day stressors. My goal is to not only provide a compassionate and safe space for you to tell your story, but to also build strong rapport that will serve as our foundation as I walk alongside you on your journey towards personal growth. I strive to meet you where you are with authenticity and genuine curiosity.

My passion lies in finding balance. I use a holisitic approach that includes mindfulness, interpersonal strategies, body sensation and humor when possible. We will work together to highlight your strengths and discuss your challenges while increasing feelings of self-acceptance and self-confidence in your day-to-day life. My office provides an allied, warm and comfortable space for people in all bodies. I respect cultural, economic, LGBTQ+, and racial diversity, and my work is gender-inclusive and anti-racist.

It is my heartfelt desire to assist you in connecting with your authentic self and rediscovering a deep sense of well being. I am empathetic, spiritual, thoughtful, interactive, and dedicated to your deepest healing. I work with individuals and couples, empowering them to create loving, healthy relationships. I practice a blend of techniques, including EMDR, gestalt, person centered and spiritual psychology. I also provide supervision for LMFT graduate interns and post-graduate associates.

My work seems to be primarily with grad students, young professionals, and humans going through life changes. I enjoy the creative process of growth growing out of discomfort.

I help individuals and couples take deeper responsibility for what they're building on their side of things, which can lead to more agency to change unsatisfying, disappointing, and difficult dynamics. Your relationship and sexual life are windows into your personal development - where you get dysregulated (withdraw or push others to conform) is where you can learn to step more inside yourself, soothe yourself, and look at the deeper, real choices you have in front of you. When you take more responsibility for yourself, your communication improves, and what you are building becomes intentional, rather than reactive.

I'm committed to helping you understand and resolve new life changes, painful emotions, relationship problems and sexual concerns in a safe, compassionate environment. I have tools to help you heal old emotional wounds of many kinds and create lasting changes for a better future. You will learn how to "rewire" emotional triggers, diminish conflict and feelings of emptiness, and experience more peace than before. I treat stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, attachment issues, feelings of worthlessness, fear of failure/success, divorce recovery, anger and grief, including pet loss. I work with straight and GLBTQ clients.

Heart Centered Therapy helps you connect to what is Essential and True within yourself. It supports you in restoring inner balance, aliveness, peace and meaning in your life and in your relationships. The accumulations of life challenge, stress and trauma create beliefs, emotions and thoughts that become conditioned patterns. that cover up and distract us from our ability to be present. These patterns interfere with our sense of self and relationships. Authentic presence returns as the patterns of stress and trauma are integrated restoring a natural vibrancy and aliveness.

Talk therapy forms the foundation for my all work. Your story is important. When clients seek to deepen their healing process I help them take the next steps through somatically based therapies. The integration of bodymind (soma) can help clients conquer depression, recover from trauma, relieve anxiety, cope with limiting medical and physical conditions, and increase their capacity to embrace life. As an Exercise Specialist, I have been helping people overcome back problems for over 26 years with my Active EASE program. I also lead InterPlay, a seriously fun way to come at things from a different direction.

Firstly, I want to commend you for seeking therapeutic services! Whether you're looking to address depression, anxiety, trauma, stressors at work, relationship issues, family conflict, or life transitions you're taking an important step in the right direction. I have experience in working with adults with all of these presenting concerns, and know that you don't need to walk this path alone! I enjoy working with adults from all different cultural backgrounds, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally!

Hello! Are you tired of thoughts that come to mind? Or confused by emotions that show up? We humans experience many types of pain. Our thoughts and feelings can be scary; I can help you sort this out. Even though painful thoughts and emotions happen to ALL of us, we often feel isolated or ashamed as a result. Thoughts like "I'm messed up" can make us feel even worse! Together we will practice techniques that easily tend to the discomfort of these painful inner experiences. I offer evidence-based methods that are consistently effective with my clients. You can live a rich and meaning-full life even when pain happens. Let's talk soon!

Many people seek out therapy for different reasons sometimes for loss, trauma, life transitions, anxiety and depression, feeling stuck in life, and sometimes for help adding coping skills for day to day life. My approach to therapy is mainly rooted in CBT and Mindfulness, working with you to examine how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how by navigating through changes in our lives with a more present and focus lens we can minimize anxiety and add to our coping skills toolbox. By taking a mindfulness approach, we will find ways to navigate through past experiences and the curve balls life throws at us.

After battling addiction for many years, I discovered a new way to live through psychotherapy, the 12-steps, physical fitness, & spiritual practice. Ramtha said, "Your greatest accomplishment in life will be living through it." Today, living is my way of life. Today, I can look at myself in the mirror without shame, guilt, sadness, & self-hatred. I can appreciate my past & not run from it. I can form meaningful loving relationships with others because I have first learned how to love myself. I have learned how to overcome obstacles and cope with worry, anxiety, & depression. I have learned to enjoy every moment, good or bad...

Every crisis is an opportunity for growth and development. It is by taking risks and surmounting challenges through which real and lasting transformation can occur. Although one of my therapist roles is to provide support, I also challenge my clients to think, feel, and behave differently. As a therapist, I prioritize developing and maintaining an open, nonjudgmental, and trusting relationship with my clients. I strive to be authentic and encourage the same of my clients. I help clients identify and meet their therapeutic goals through the development of insight and new skills.

I have a wide range of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I worked with individuals who have symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, and extreme trauma. I create a space for clients to be themselves without any judgement. I strive to help the client become the best version of themselves even if that means I must refer them to someone who is better suited to help them. I am very caring and passionate about the work that I do.
