In this unprecedented time of chaos and confusion, we all need someone to talk to that understands our needs and concerns. For those struggling with depression and anxiety, I can provide a soundboard, encouragement, and ongoing support. I can provide you with creative ways to redirect yourself, re-focus yourself, and to cope with what's going on around us and inside your close-knit family or social circles. For those struggling with addiction issues, I can provide a non-judgemental ear, help teach you coping strategies for cravings and triggers to use, and help you find creative avenues to enjoy life during these difficult days.

It can be difficult to ask for help. Sometimes you're not sure if your situation necessarily qualifies for therapy. I believe it is okay to need support, to be vulnerable, or just want some time to reflect on what is going on for you. My role is to help my clients find this authentic place which ultimately leads to more comfort and peace. I consider it a privilege to have a client enter the office and be vulnerable enough to reach out for help.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

You might be feeling more anxiety, sadness, frustration, or overwhelm right now. Maybe your relationships are suffering. Clients often come to me when they are sick of self criticism, people pleasing, or perfectionism running the show. I get it! So many people are feeling like things are falling through the cracks or even falling apart these days. You just want to feel more in control, happier, and more connected.
Paul Daanen
Psychologist, PsyD

Good psychotherapy is both about maximizing your life's potential and alleviating your distress. We spend a vast amount of time and resources searching for a fulfilling life. Yet that goal can remain elusive. For some, the way forward might mean addressing difficult experiences from the past. For others, it means overcoming feelings of anxiety or depression that don't seem to go away. In working together, my primary goal is to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to open up and work through your current difficulties in a collaborative way.

From our very first contact, I think you will find that I'm easy to talk to. I pride myself on being a good listener, and I believe you will experience me as warm, genuine, and supportive. I'm not one of those quiet therapists; I openly and honestly share my thoughts, questions, and perceptions. You will also find me to be (gently) challenging when you need and want to be challenged. I take your confidentiality and privacy very seriously. And, while much of what we discuss will be serious, I do have a sense of humor that I don't leave at the door.

I really believe that help begins by reaching out, and I'm glad you're here. Call or text me for a free consultation.

I believe everyone has the right to have satisfactory sexual health. My own personal journey of having to navigate the journey alone, has led me to be able to provide a supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere for others to express their sexual health needs. I am here to help adults dealing with sexual health issues, which can lead to anxiety and depression. I specialize in females over 40. I am here to help women enjoy sex after child birthing, menopause, and medical issues. I also welcome adults wanting to understand and process through their kinks and fantasies.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
There are times when we feel anxious, sad or uncertain. We often push or run away from the unwanted feelings and thoughts. We have developed certain coping and habit patterns to survive that no longer serve us. We are ready for change. In a safe, non-judgmental environment we will explore what you are wanting in your life and what patterns may keep you from having it, and the sense of personal freedom and well-being you may seek. In our work together you will be invited into deeper self-knowledge, awareness and body-mind integration, while exploring the parts of you that are ready for both release and renewal.

I want you to know and like yourself so that you may foster deeper and more meaningful relationships with those who are important to you and, ultimately, lead a more fulfilling life. During our time together you will feel understood, cared for and respectfully challenged. My native Austin roots come through in my style: chill, real, and occasionally funny.

Firefly Therapy Austin, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
Are you feeling stuck in the same old patterns in your life and ready for a change? Maybe you're feeling the weight of anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma and could use a hand in healing the past to experience freedom from it in the future. Have you noticed you keep getting into the same types of relationship challenges? It is normal for people to feel conflicted and get in our own way - it's part of being human! And we often need someone outside ourselves, friends, and family to help sort through the nitty-gritty thoughts, feelings, and fears. You don't have to face these issues alone.

I believe therapy is broad and ever changing, shaping to fit your needs as you move through life’s ups and downs. Some people utilize therapy to address an acute problem, while others see it more as a tool for maintenance, same as we view exercise. Regardless of the circumstances, I know therapy has a positive role to play for all. Whatever the road that brought you here, and your lived experiences that have uniquely crafted you, this is a place for you to find growth and relief. Together we will create a safe space for you to unburden your mind and explore yourself more deeply.

I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker 7 years ago and absolutely love what I do. I have worked in Community Mental Health serving children and families for many years. I have also worked alongside military families across the country as they navigate life serving our country. I was a military spouse for several years and have enjoyed every minute of it! I love working with adolescents, teens, and adults to coach and guide you through life's challenging transitions. Life isn't always easy and sometimes it takes a little slowing down to figure things out.
Mindy Kanewske
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, EMDR
Verified
We all seek out therapeutic support for different reasons. Some of us have survived painful life experiences that we can't seem to get past. Others are stuck in the cycle of anxiety or depression and have not found resolution. Some of us still react out of survival skills that we may have needed as a child, but can't stop them from coming up in our present life. I create a container that enables you to heal your nervous system, build emotional resiliency and shift harmful mental beliefs. I want to help my clients find resolution, not relief.
