Therapists in North Burnett, Austin, TX

Maybe you've tried to get out of the cycle of motivation and dread, yet you're still left feeling trapped or like you're constantly trying to catch up. Within our sessions, I hope to help you understand yourself and find balance, while healing any past wounds that may still be impacting your life today. We'll work towards goals holistically by addressing mind (psyche), body (physical wellbeing), and soul (individual flair) throughout your treatment.

Are you an athlete constantly worried about your sport performance? Have you recently been injured and find your mood has taken a nose dive as you wait for your body to heal, afraid you will not return to the same level of fitness as before? Are body image issues or your relationship to food having a negative impact on your sport? Or maybe you are at the end of your sport career, struggling to let it go and confused about your identity outside of your sport. Have you turned to substances to cope? Is your team less cohesive and more conflicted, losing focus and competing more with each other than against your actual opponents?

At PAZ Behavioral Health, PLLC, it is our belief that life is a tapestry and it is beautiful, even with its imperfections. Like a tapestry, our lives are woven differently, which makes us all unique. It is our unique life experiences that influence our perspective. Most of us confront our problems based on our life experiences.

Has a loved one died recently or even many years ago? Do you feel you should “move on” or “be past it”? Are friends telling you it is time to start dating again?

Telehealth/Virtual only- I believe everyone deserves to have mental and emotional health, as well as feel safe and happy. There will be times when we feel stuck, helpless, and like we are the only one who is experiencing what we are. I do not want you to give up. I want you to know there is help available. "There's a light at the end of the tunnel" if you truly want it and work for it. I would like to virtually facilitate your journey toward healing. If this is also your desire, you may reach me via email or call and leave a message please. You may also go directly to my website.

Life brings you many challenges. You may be dealing with a roadblock and the future you were planning is no longer possible. Maybe you’ve just experienced a loss, are worrying constantly, or feel like a burden. If you’ve been feeling some of these negative emotions but trying to avoid them, you’re not alone. We all struggle at different times and it can be scary to even start the search for help. Many people feel ashamed or weak for seeking therapy, but I’m here to tell you that you are stronger for it. It takes a lot more courage to start therapy than to continue living in pain.

**ONLINE SCHEDULING, EVENINGS AVAILABLE** Therapy should be about YOU. There is no one-size-fits-all solution in life. Everyone is unique in their own way. People come from all kinds of different circumstances, they see things in different ways, process information, and react to the world differently. I understand this. That is why I enter each counseling session focused solely on the person in front of me. My person-centered approach means I treat the whole of a person based on what works for them as an individual. I offer a judgement free and encouraging environment to discuss the issues you want to tackle.

I believe there is a higher wisdom within us all, and accessing this place of inner authority is essential to the process of healing and aligning with one’s authentic self.  My goal as a counselor is to help you connect with your personal wisdom and unlock your innate ability to heal. My invitation is for you to be curious with me about your experiences as I offer feedback to spark the discovery of your own answers.

Hi, I'm Crystal Law and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, where I have experience in providing counseling services to adolescents, adults, families, and groups in areas such as anxiety, stress, depression, postpartum, grief, ADHD, development of improved coping and communication skills, and adjustment to life changes. Every individual is unique so a one-size approach will not work for everyone.I have a variety of therapeutic tools that we will use specifically for you drawing from CBT, Solution Focused modalities, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process from which clients feel more empowered to be who they are wanting to be. My professional experience working with marginalized populations and trauma has led me to value being trauma-informed, holding an intersectional perspective, & creating an atmosphere of unconditional acceptance and safety. Therapy should be tailored to a client's goals, world view, and personality, so I use a fluid mix of mindfulness, art, system's approach, EMDR, solution-focused therapy, and existential therapy.

In my practice, I find great value in meeting you where you are, building a relationship with you, and working together to differentiate between things you may wish to change from things to embrace in your life. This process may contain challenging moments; however, I would be happy to walk along with you in this journey of moving forward and creating peace in your mind. I offer individual therapy (in-person & remote) and child and family therapy with a combination of talk therapy and art therapy based on your needs and preferences.

You’ve already tried to do it on your own. Trying harder, distracting yourself, doing what’s healthy and right… none of it really seems to work. There always seems to be that anxious feeling, the emptiness, the persistent question, “What’s wrong with me?” You want to feel happy, whole, vibrant and live up to the potential you know is possible. Life shouldn’t have to be so hard. And all the goodness shouldn’t feel so far away. Who you are and what life is, is so much more than what is here right now. Feeling stuck is one of the most dull, painful feelings to live with... You’re here... And now it’s time to do something about it.

I enjoy partnering with teens, young adults, and families as they make an investment to life overcome these challenges. One of the bravest things you can do is take ahold of your life journey.
