Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious in your life or relationship? My understanding is that life involves all of who we are - the interplay between mind, emotions, body, and spirit. If something feels out of balance or lacking in your life, causing you anxiety, depression, anger, self-doubt, confusion, or a feeling of things being out of control, then my approach to counseling can help. I have found that increasing one's self awareness and self acceptance are the building blocks of any change process, and I will work with you to honor your process while identifying your preferred direction for positive change.

Hello, my name is Catherine Stansbury, LMSW. I am a social worker and an EMDR Trained Therapist. I practice at Divine Mercy Counseling, a group practice in Austin, Texas. My clinical supervisor is Melissa Gould, LCSW-S. I specialize in trauma therapy for individual adults, ages 18-100. I have a special interest in older adults and their caregivers, since caregiving is what led me to become a social worker. It is my honor and my joy to work with persons who have carried terrible burdens of trauma and pain for many years; and to help them unload those burdens, and find healing, hope, and peace.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, SEP

My clients have survived traumas small and large and now find themselves drained of the strengths they once drew from. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, struggling with impostor syndrome, or are stuck in a life situation that you can't shake; you're ready to sit, heal, and move on as best you can. While many around you know you to be the strong one, this time, you don't think you can. You want a therapist who gets you, your struggle, your resilience because you don't want to have to explain everything. You want healing on your terms.

Change in our lives is inevitable. The transition periods between times of stability in our lives are more common then we often care to admit. These transitions can trigger stress, anxiety, depression and other current and long standing psychological issues. I started my clinical practice in 1989 in Austin, Texas and specialize in helping adult individuals and couples who are experiencing transitions due to significant changes occurring in their lives.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LPC-S, LMFT-S

Do you ever just want to go on strike? The kids, the spouse, the job, community commitments and all the rest take a toll after awhile, and everyone is depending on you. Maybe there are transitions going on with you or your family - a new baby, a first or last child starting school or graduating. You feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated and maybe depressed and anxious. It's hard to shut off your mind, and even at night when you should be sleeping, you stare at the ceiling worrying over all the people and responsibilities in your world.
Loren Grimes
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
Hello and welcome. I work with individuals that are seeking relief from painful emotions, experiences and patterns in their lives. We all do the best we can and can become overwhelmed by our failed attempts to create lasting change in our lives and in ourselves. It is hard to do alone. Working with a professional therapist gives a container for trust, freedom, and honest exploration. This allows one the space to explore the fullness of all that is involved in your inner world and the organization to see the meaning-making that came about, often surprising ourselves.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

Being a therapist represents the culmination of a life-long dream for me. When I was a child, I liked to imagine that I had magic powers that could make sad people happy. At that time, I didn’t know I wanted to be a therapist, I only knew that I wanted to help. Throughout my career, I have seen a real-life version of this daydream with my clients. During their initial sessions many people exhibit sadness and seem to be laboring under a heavy emotional burden. However, through sessions of therapy, I have seen many clients become drastically more relaxed, as if their load has become lighter- now that is magic!

It can be hard enough to be in a relationship with ourselves (let alone other people) when we are hurting. Are you living as your best self? Are you able to be the kind of partner, parent, friend, sibling, employee etc. that you want to be? So many of us have stumbled through life experiencing anxiety, fear, shame, anger, confusion, disconnection, guilt, rejection, depression, grief, regret & so on. Life doesn't have to feel this overwhelming. Therapy will not fix you because you’re not broken, but you can feel more whole.

Drug & Alcohol Counselor, LCDC, NCAC, CAI

Your path to recovery from addiction emerges from the hope that life can be better. Yet, finding the path and moving forward can sometimes be overwhelming. Helping you start that journey in a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate way is my goal. You may be questioning if you or a family member really has a problem with alcohol or drugs and to what degree or you need more information and support yourself.

Sometimes our lives take an unexpected turn-a loved one dies, we lose our job, our marriage ends, our parents' health declines-and suddenly we aren't sure where we're going, or what to do next. You don't have to face these things alone. In my counseling career, I have helped many people get through the hard things that come with difficult life events: sadness, anger, guilt, family conflict, uncontrollable worry, or just feeling stuck.

I am an empathic therapist with 15 years therapy experience. My clients generally come to me with an impaired sense of self, difficulties in relationships, and feeling unsafe in the world due to trauma and other hardships in their lives. I assist my clients in transforming their deepest pain into their greatest strengths. I help them find passion in life and confidence in themselves. They learn to have deep and meaningful relationships. Ideally, clients will move from a limited set of beliefs to an expansive perspective on what is possible in this life. Therapy is my passion and I love helping my clients reach their goals.

Psychologist, PhD, CGP

People are naturally resilient with the right support. Therapy facilitates the healing process by helping you deeply understand yourself, with compassion, so your presenting concerns can be effectively addressed. My approach varies to fit the style and presenting issues of each client. Typically, I take a holistic approach combining in-depth traditional talk therapy with more recent, empirically-validated and present-focused approaches. I sometimes act as a life coach, helping clients change behaviors and discern choices that lead toward the lives they envision. My predominant focus is guiding deeper exploration that results in real inner transformation, personal fulfillment, and learning to love yourself.
