Infertility Therapists in Downtown, Austin, TX

I find my strengths are working with women in all stages of life: college women, career women, new mothers, career mothers, women battling infertility , women going through divorce, and women suffering from low self esteem. My compassion, open mindedness, and solution focused approach creates a setting of hope, positive change, and trustworthy rapport.

Collaborating with you to discover and cultivate a life that feels fulfilling and worthwhile, which typically means leaning in to what scares you, is what I do best. Aided by reflection, insight, carefully chosen feedback from me, and action on your part, I will walk this journey with you, challenging when necessary, but always being mindful of the therapeutic relationship we're in the process of creating. Together, we will strive to establish an empowering and supportive therapeutic environment that will propel you along in personally meaningful directions.

Are you ready to make a change or need help figuring out how to move forward? Are you ready for more in your career, your relationships, or need relief from stress? Maybe you're not feeling yourself. I am here and want to help you. I have a broad base of experience and specialize in helping with relationships and premarital counseling, career development and changes, stabilizing mood and functioning in daily life, recovery from substance abuse, family building and infertility , developing new ways of relating to others as well as consultation for clinical leaders & non-profit managers.

Women's Reproductive Mental Health deserves special care. There is more to it than just conception and pregnancy. We also face other challenges during our reproductive lifespan that may affect our mental health. If you are struggling with: Hormonal imbalances, Infertility , Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders "PMADs" (previously called Postpartum Depression), Birth trauma, Pregnancy loss, Infant loss, adjusting to motherhood, NICU stay, Peri-menopause , or Menopause . You don't need to go through this alone. You deserve special care!

You are a woman who has been devastated by grief over pregnancy loss, infertility , or postpartum depression or anxiety. You desperately want to find someone to talk to about how alone and sad you feel. You feel heartbroken, ashamed, and angry lately. Your world has stopped while everyone else seems to be moving on without you. You find yourself having the same fights with your partner over and over again. Society glamorizes pregnancy and motherhood which can make you feel even more alone and misunderstood. If you see one more pregnancy announcement or social media post about the happiness of motherhood, you might lose it!

My belief is that everyone has the inner strength needed to accomplish their mental health goals; but, sometimes we need a compassionate guide to support us through the stormy parts of our life's journey. Research has found a connection between optimal mental and physical health. I hope to help others achieve their goals and overall well-being through therapy while simultaneously encouraging healthy wellness practices. I specialize in women's issues in areas such as: agoraphobia, anxiety, career, communication, conflict, coping, grief, infertility , life transitions, premarital preparation, parenting, peers, self-esteem, and stress.

Life and relationship challenges usually need more than talk to get through successfully. This is why I specialize in approaches where mind and body work together. Providing healing experiences in therapy, I work collaboratively with you to find ways to change and grow that work for your unique situation. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I've had the master's level training of individual counselors, in addition to training focused on the 'systems' of relationships. I am also PACT and EMDR trained therapist; I have additional training in sexual issues, chronic illness and infertility .

Do you feel like you are stuck? Do you feel trapped, unable to move past painful experiences in your past? Do you feel mired in negative feelings in the present? Do you find yourself repeating the same destructive patterns over and over? You are not alone. Addressing these questions is the first step towards positive change and growth. I believe counseling is often more than seeking to feel better - it is a journey. It is a way to become the Author of your own Story. Therapy can offer an avenue towards self-empowerment, fulfillment and a deeper sense of meaning in your life. A path towards living more authentically.

Sexual dysfunction can be an anxious topic to explore for many people. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and skills to improve your sex life as well as to provide a calm, comfortable space to explore underlying issues. Several studies have connected a healthy, fulfilling sex to longevity, improved mental health, and higher relationship satisfaction. Also, I connect with doctors and physical therapists to provide all inclusive care.  Some of my other specialties include working with trauma, grief, infertility and gender issues.

My clients are individuals, couples or families who want to improve their emotional wellness. They might be going through a challenging period in their life, may struggle with interpersonal relationships, conflict at work, or they may be looking to improve their marital or family dynamics. Ultimately, they possess the tools they need to improve their lives - through therapy, we bring those tools to life.

Abby is an individual therapist at the Betrayal Trauma Recovery Center. She earned her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gonzaga University and is currently licensed to practice in both Washington and Texas. Throughout her career she has prioritized fostering strong therapeutic relationships built on compassion for self and others. Practicing from a trauma informed, integrative approach, Abby uses many therapeutic modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy.

My ideal client is someone with a listening ear, with the courage to reimagine his/her life. Someone with dreams and a passion to realize them... Or maybe somebody broken and lost. Someone imperfect. Because that's real. That's being human. To quote a British philosopher: "I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts, some superhero, some fairy tale bliss... I want something just like this..."

I believe it is never too late to reinvent yourself. I approach every session with an open mind and view every client as an individual. I do not judge. I don’t have preconceived notions. I believe everyone is capable of achieving happiness in their life. I believe in change.

I am all about empowering and guiding adults on their journey to self-discovery. I will partner with you to achieve your desired emotional and life goals. When counseling is used effectively, it can be a powerful tool for all areas of your life. If you are ready for change and commit to applying the skills you learn, you will walk away from counseling with the necessary tools to face life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is simple, I will focus on symptom reduction and provide you with skills to practice between sessions to help you become self-reliant. Don't let this moment escape, start creating evolution in your life.

I get what it feels like to feel stuck...seemingly unable to move forward or backward. At my group practice, Unstuck, we are professional therapists and counselors who seek to provide genuine, confidential, safe, and healing space for anyone who feels stuck in life. We focus on individuals and couples working through relationship struggles, symptoms of depression or anxiety, navigating life transitions, coming out trauma, dealing with family dynamics, spiritual questioning, or anything that makes them feel stuck or trapped in their current circumstances.

Sometimes we all need extra support or a safe place to turn when life seems overwhelming or confusing. Therapy can offer that support and provide a place to talk about things that may be difficult to share with anyone else. Whether you are struggling with life changes, feelings of sadness and anxiety, a sense of "stuckness", or ready to heal past traumas, therapy can and does provide relief and a new way of living.

Relationships. Authenticity. Connection. Culturally-Responsive Care. Meaning-making. Creating concrete goals. I believe that humans flourish, heal, and grow within relationship and that primary suffering occurs from social isolation and chronic disconnection. I’ve worked with an array of experiences including, life-transitions, seasonal changes for women, immigration support, intimate partner violence, anxiety, depression, developmental transitions for children and adolescents, parental support, attachment, relational repairs and caregivers. One of my passions is working with Spanish-speaking individuals and families.

Therapy can seem intimidating! Everyone is talking about it, but what can you expect? You can expect a warm safe atmosphere to lay down that baggage you've been carrying. You can expect to feel seen and heard without judgment. You can feel empowered to achieve your goals. Allow me to walk alongside you on this incredible journey! I am available to work with individuals, couples, and families. As a Black therapist, I'm passionate about offering representation to clients who don't often get to see themselves reflected in their healthcare providers. For this reason, I especially enjoy the opportunity to work with people of color.
