Dual Diagnosis Therapists in Rosedale, Austin, TX

Are you struggling with addiction? Do you have a mental health diagnosis such as anxiety or depression? Are you unsure of how to address these dual issues and/or are feeling alone or scared? I can help! I know it can feel overwhelming to think about how to tackle this, but together we can examine your issues to help you gain the skills necessary to effectively reduce and manage your symptoms, gain confidence, and live a life addiction free. My area of expertise is working with adolescents/young adults and their families struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, anger, impulsivity and navigating transitions into adulthood.

I view therapy as a collaborative process between patient and therapist used to help facilitate growth and change. I think people are able to find healthy solutions for living when given the opportunity to learn new ways of thinking about and coping with life transitions.

Therapy can transform both our inner and outer worlds by making sense of our stories, releasing what no longer serves us, and living more fully in the present. I do this work best with people who are overly responsible, self-critical, and chronically nervous, tense, or guilty. You might identify as a perfectionist or people-pleaser, and might say you "grew up too fast." Common goals include getting in touch with alienated parts of the self, freedom from self-criticism, healing from emotional abuse and neglect, navigating difficult relationships with family, and relief from symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, or depression.

At the heart of my counseling approach is the conviction that everyone can heal and make changes they desire, by combining sincere intention with effective actions. When we are in session, you will have my undivided attention as I join you in clarifying and acting upon your core desires. I strive to create a space in which you feel completely safe and seen, so we may explore your unique life path together, and steer it in the most authentic and fulfilling direction. I work primarily from an existential theoretical framework, which views human suffering as deriving from experiences that cause us internal stress or confusion.

Have you done talk therapy but are still not achieving your goals and the life you want? Do you work hard to make progress but notice yourself falling back into old patterns? I specialize in helping people that have a lot of insight into their problems, and have found this is not enough to truly heal. I offer a holistic approach integrating multiple therapies to help you move from logical insights into real healing of the mind and body.

Our emotions, behaviors and relationships can be overwhelming to make sense of. Having the support of an unbiased perspective can help as we grow beyond the things that cause us discomfort. As a systems therapist, I understand the issues brought into the therapy in relation to the school, work, relational, societal and intergenerational systems involved. Yes, that does mean talking about your parents and how the messages you received in your family have shaped you. It also means talking about the ways culture, race, sexuality, work environments and history affect the ways we feel and behave.

As a therapist, I work to create a safe and nurturing environment that allows for self-inquiry and for exploration of the many parts that make up our beings. Together, we can explore and build upon your existing strength and capabilities in order to cultivate greater happiness and fulfillment. We will also work to nurture and make peace with the parts of yourself that you may fear or dislike. I believe that each individual and family brings to therapy everything that they need to make change, and it is my privilege to help you discover those parts of yourself that may lie deep within.

As a counselor and former teacher, Alexandra enjoys helping clients envision their personal goals and facilitating progress and lasting growth. Alexandra primarily utilizes elements of CBT, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address the specific needs of her clients. She believes in the importance of developing a collaborative counseling relationship that inspires, equips, and motivates clients to live their best life.

My style is interactive in helping to identify and resolve your issues. I feel that everyone has positive and negative ways of reacting to stress. I will work with you on finding healthy, creative outlets for your stress.I will help you to detach from unhealthy patterns in your relationships and your life. I believe in working with people from their strengths and starting where they are. I try to encourage my clients to improve their lives and to be happy with the choices they make.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples from a holistic perspective, incorporating evidence-based modalities to support healing and growth. My practice is informed by the belief that healing occurs within the context of relationships. I approach therapy from a "person in the environment perspective". I help clients explore the dynamics within their families of origin and how these patterns continue to influence their current relationships and sense of self. We will also explore the importance of secure attachments in fostering emotional regulation and resilience.

Do you feel trapped in patterns that no longer serve you? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, others, or in your relationship? Are there old wounds showing up in the present? Are you struggling with relationships and not quite sure why? When we encounter trauma or adverse experiences, we often find ourselves stuck in unhealthy cycles as a way of shielding ourselves from reliving that pain. Together, we will approach the difficulties you're facing with compassion, fostering lasting transformation. My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, creating a space where we can explore how you can cultivate a more fulfilling life.

I offer an attuned, flexible form of evidence-based therapy that treats you as a unique person--not just a set of symptoms. Surprising though it may sound, your emotional distress is meaningful. It contains patterns and also clues that allow you to better know yourself and overcome obstacles to your goals. As an experienced psychologist, I'll help you to pinpoint these patterns and decipher these clues.

We all go through complicated situations, some of which we don’t feel adequately prepared to handle. Most of us were never taught how to navigate these difficult struggles in healthy, constructive ways. That's why we are here. My clinical team works with a diverse variety of clientele to provide affordable counseling services to individuals, couples, and families. We want to work with you to help you overcome obstacles that you are facing, improve on aspects in your current life situation, and provide a sense of strength and hope during times that you may feel lost. Please call us for a free phone consultation.

I am a Licensed Psychologist. I know that we often believe that we must tolerate or suffer through our current circumstances, as we are often unaware of our full personal potential, as well as the role we play in limiting our growth and progress. Peace of mind and a sense of purpose are essential elements of life that one must deliberately work towards.
