Therapists in Austin, TX
My journey into the field of counseling began with a simple yet profound desire: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who are struggling. Guided by this unwavering commitment to compassion and understanding. In today's fast-paced world, it's all too easy to become consumed by overwhelming worry and fear, perpetuating a cycle that entraps us in negative thought patterns. From the moment we wake up to the moment we lay our heads to rest, our minds are often inundated with anxious thoughts about the future, the past, and everything in between.

Emotions can get overwhelming and uncomfortable. Sometimes it seems easier to stuff feelings down, distract, or just power through. What if there are other options? I help couples and individuals unscramble thoughts, work through feelings they've stuffed down, process trauma, and find ways to reconnect – both with others and with themselves. If you're hoping to improve communication, process trauma, explore differences in how your brain works, or discuss what intimacy looks like in your life, you're in the right place. Choosing the right therapist is daunting, but it's a huge relief once you finally find one who's the right fit.

I have worked with many populations throughout my career including children and adults with physical and/or cognitive disabilities, women and men struggling with their mental health, adults navigating the criminal justice system, middle-school students, and seniors. As a therapist, I work with adolescents and adults and provide individual and couples therapy. Before settling into social work, I spent 14 years in the arts and my experiences were pivotal in making me the therapist I am today. In the theatre, you must find your voice, be in your body, improvise, collaborate, and maintain curiosity. I take all of this into my practice.

I’m glad you’ve made it this far in your search for support (because we all know scrolling therapy profiles is practically a full-time job). I’m a seasoned mental health professional with over 19 years of experience helping individuals navigate the complexities of life, relationships, and recovery. My background spans private practice, psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient care, with a special focus on dual diagnosis — treating both mental health and substance use challenges together, not separately, because life doesn’t compartmentalize, and neither should therapy.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
