Therapists in Austin, TX

The decision to enter into therapy is a very personal one, and who you do it with is important. I can offer a peaceful and safe place to explore who you are and the difficulties you may be having,in order to live a happier life. I listen fully in an effort to see you truly, but I'm quite interactive. I'm deep at times, and I'm playful and practical as well, helping you figure out solutions and to make plans. This is a joint process where we come together to make your life better.

I view treatment as a safe space where healing can occur through the process of unpeeling multiple layers of mental and emotional patterns (conscious and unconscious), leading individuals to discover their strengths, true potential and authentic self. In this process, one can feel empowered and inspired to integrate all parts of self, even those hidden from the conscious mind. This delicate work is only possible when trust and alliance are established between therapist and client. The principles guiding this work are unconditional acceptance, compassion and non-judgment.

Nice to meet you! I see clients who are new to therapy as well as clients who have experience with therapy. Many (but not all) of my clients are adolescents or in college. Most of my clients are interested in long-term treatment as a way to help with day-to-day problems and to dig into any underlying issues that might impacting their moods and feelings. I’ve worked in many clinical settings that inform my approach. Most recently, I worked as a school-based therapist for students in middle and high school. I've also worked with a racially, socially, and economically diverse adult population while at a community outpatient clinic.

You're struggling with parts of your life right now and aren't sure what to do. Perhaps it's your relationships that are struggling; you may be in the middle of a life change or transition; you may be grieving. There may be other factors in your life which are creating problems. Perhaps you're struggling with addictive behavior; your past is affecting your present; a trauma may be clouding your life. You feel like you don't matter, that you aren't worthy of love. Nobody is listening and you can't figure out how to be heard.

I provide a non-judgmental, supportive space for a diverse population of adult clients to work through a variety of life challenges.

Welcome to my little (therapy) corner of the internet! My name is Becca, and I’m here to recruit you… to have a happier, healthier, more balanced life- to have a life worth living, the life you envision. I’m a licensed professional counselor who provides individual therapy to adults struggling with a wide variety of concerns including neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+, kink/poly, childfree by choice, trauma, life transitions, and chronic illness, to name a few. I do not offer therapy to children or adolescents, families, or couples.

If you’re ready to embrace the messy shit and let go of perfection, you’re in the right place. You’re driven, working hard to accomplish the things you're supposed to but at some point you realized you have lost sight of who you are and don't feel the happiness or contentment you thought you would. Perhaps you can’t get a break from your negative thoughts taking up space in your head, leaving little room for you to connect with yourself and others. You're tired from trying to keep up with the expectations that have been placed you, leaving you unfulfilled and anxious. Mostly, you want to find relief and regain control of your life.

There is nothing wrong with asking for help and it’s important to remember that. “Asking for help when you need it doesn’t show weakness, it shows tremendous strength”— it takes self-awareness; it takes courage and the willingness to be vulnerable. A great quote by Fred Rogers says, “When we talk about our feelings they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” The therapeutic relationship I have with clients is something that I cherish and do not take for granted. It is a true privilege to be able to accompany clients on their journeys of self-discovery and self-understanding.

As a youth and family pastor for the last 17 years, I have been so blessed to stand with teens and families through both joyful and difficult times and have seen first hand how difficult it is to be or raise a teenager in today’s world. The desire to help teens, young adults, and parents navigate these tough times, and the earnest belief that hope can be found in even the darkest of times is what led me to counseling. Whether you have a desire for personal insight, a more peaceful home life, or a stronger relationship, I would love to sit with you to see if we can figure out a path forward.

As a therapist, I am dedicated to building a therapeutic environment that encourages authenticity, transparency, and compassion. I take a client-oriented approach that centers around my belief that people can take charge of their journey to healing and recovery. I trust that the client is the expert of their own lives, and my role is to consistently empower them to develop toolkits to be able to navigate daily struggles and lived experiences.

I join clients on their personal and professional journeys and support them in leveling up their lives! As a hybrid life coach and therapist, I offer support on achieving outcomes (such as "I want to find my mission in life" or "I want to feel really happy and energetic" or "I'm ready to open/level up my business") and I work with clients who are truly ready for growth! The bonus outcomes - my clients report increased self-confidence, clarity on life and purpose, assertiveness, increased joy, better relationships, and as a result they take bold steps into their authentic selves and write their own stories.
