Therapists in Garrison Park, Austin, TX

I am currently accepting new patients! My therapy style is warm, accepting, and active. I don't expect you to start therapy knowing exactly what you need - I'm here to help you figure it out! My approach is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy, but I creatively integrate DBT, trauma work, and psychodynamic therapy depending on your needs and preferences. I see our work together as a collaboration and I care deeply about your unique goals and strengths. I want to help you carry whatever it is that's weighing on you, and work toward solutions together. I truly look forward to working with you.

You might be feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, struggling to deal with intrusive thoughts and anxiety, or have unresolved past traumas that affect your ability to cope in the present. Maybe you feel like there is only a thin skin between you and the world, and distinguishing your needs from others’ desires while setting healthy boundaries in relationships can be challenging. Whatever your experience might be, I’m here with you to uncover more safety, ease and joy in areas that have felt blocked, so your authentic self can emerge.

We all encounter different challenges and stressors throughout the course of our lives. Sometimes those challenges and stressors can be overwhelming and exhausting to tackle solo. I believe that sometimes we aren’t sure what we even need but are certain that something needs to or could be different in our life. I naturally work from a strengths-based and client-centered perspective and feel that collaboration and rapport are key components in the therapeutic process. My goal is to help you heal and flourish in your life.

Navigating through transitions and deepening understanding of patterns and circumstances by accompanying people in a therapeutic way is my goal.

I believe that the deepest healing happens when therapy is rooted in connection, empathy, and compassion, so my first goal is to create an environment in which you feel understood and supported. Likewise, I believe we are truly whole when our most important relationships are thriving – including our relationship with ourselves. Strengthening these relationships is a primary focus of my therapeutic approach, along with the attainment of embodiment and mindfulness. I work from a psychodynamic and experiential perspective to guide you towards an experience of authenticity and alignment with yourself, others, and the world.

You don't want to live this way anymore. In the depth of your being you know there is more to life and more to love than what you have been feeling. You no longer want to numb your reality with 80 hour work weeks, superficial relationships, drugs, alcohol, or shopping. You are ready to listen to the voice calling out from that pit of internal emptiness. You are ready to step fully into life. And as you take this first step on the path back to your essential nature, I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you in your journey to reconnect with yourself, with your life, and with your purpose.

I believe we are all on a journey to wholeness. I consider it a privilege and honor to assist others with their journey. Over the last 30 years, I have worked with all ages, varied environments, diverse cultures, and orientations. Through expertise in various therapeutic approaches, individual, conjoint, group, and family counseling, I have assisted others with their journeys. With a focus on wellness, health boundaries, and self-care, I look forward to assisting you.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for more than thirty years and work with couples, families, and individuals 18 years old and up. My areas of specialty are addiction, alcohol use, anxiety, anger management, behavioral issues, and many more. I use various modalities: Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Existential, Exposure Response Prevention, Schema Therapy, Interpersonal, Marital, and Family Therapy. At times this can appear to be difficult, but it is much more difficult to avoid our problems.

Hi there, I'm Kelly. I know that there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to therapy, and I strive to meet my clients where they are at. I use strength-based, egalitarian, and person-centered approaches and believe in the major importance of creating a safe and shared space in which everyone can feel open to explore all aspects of themselves. Being vulnerable is not easy, and I acknowledge the strength and guts it takes to make that first step toward change.

We are accepting new clients! You’re feeling disconnected, stuck, and distant from the most important person in your life. Your disagreements and communication leave you feeling unheard, disregarded, and misunderstood. You’re exhausted from being caught in this familiar loop and long to feel close again. Deciding to begin couples counseling doesn’t mean that you’ve failed. It means you’re committed to helping your relationship reach its full potential.

The relationships we form from birth to adulthood, whether intimate or platonic, present or past, can play an impactful role in our thought processes and behaviors. Exploring and becoming mindful of these connections can help you become more cognizant of how you relate to others and how these affect your mental health. Anxiety, depression, difficulty with transitional decisions, starting or maintaining relationships, could stem back to unmet expectations from these relationships or trauma. Maintaining mental health wellness begins with awareness of the root issue and gaining the resources you need to manage arising difficulties.

In the midst of what feels like a “quarter-life crisis? I help 20- and 30- something-year-olds who are feeling overwhelmed by their stress, anxiety, and depression. Living your life how you “should’ has left you feeling unfulfilled. You’re not showing up as the best version of yourself, you are not who you want to be in your relationships or you’re having a tough time finding relationships that feel fulfilling, and the weight of that has now become unbearable. Whether it’s guilt or the worry about what’s next, something has held you back from deciding to change your life. Our work together can be the first step to changing that.

I help people recover from traumatic events and hurtful relationships. I enjoy working with adolescents to adults figure out what they want out of life, and remove the things that are holding them back. If you come from a messed up family, you will find that I offer unwavering support in an environment where you are deeply valued and exceptionally safe. I enjoy working with couples and individuals in nontraditional homes and relationships, parents at the end of their wits, couples about to call it quits, people recovering from religious abuse or neglect, and artists, musicians, and creatives.

Are you concerned that your substance use is causing some problems for you? Substance use is on a continuum, with abstinence on one end and severe abuse, or addiction, on the other. Historically, approaches to substance use treatment have been binary—you either use or you do not. While this approach is effective for some people, for most it feels restrictive and at times punitive. The goal of therapy is for you to determine—you may want to examine your use, minimize it, work toward ceasing use all together or even maintain positive changes you have already made.

I'm so glad you're here. Are you looking to connect more deeply with your loved ones? Are you evolving and wanting to get in deeper connection with yourself? If either of these questions resonate, please reach out. I'd love to hear from you.

*We have clinicians with immediate availability* Do you feel like you are too much and not enough all at the same time?

If so, you have found the right place to explore your identity and relationships in a supportive, compassionate and judgment-free environment. Exploring yourself or finding your voice may sound daunting, but you don’t have to take on this journey alone.

In an atmosphere of acceptance, I will establish and maintain a trusting relationship to promote your growth and self-direction. I use brief therapy techniques to assist clients with their anxiety, stress, depression, sexual abuse, grief and relationship conflicts.
