Therapists in South Austin, Austin, TX

I provide guidance and clinical expertise as you begin to understand yourself better regarding emotional experiences as a way to make sense of your thoughts and behaviors. I will work with you to deepen insight, promote healing, improve skills and confront unhelpful patterns in behaviors and relationships. I understand that traumas can cause lifelong disturbances in emotional reactivity and regulation. I can teach you to learn the practice of self-calming through cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practice and other complementary therapeutic approaches.

Therapy is a partnership in which we take the time to slow down together and look compassionately at what’s happening inside of you and in your relationships. It’s a courageous act in service of becoming a fuller version of you.

I am a licensed psychologist and a clinical neuropsychologist. I provide evidence based effective treatment for psychological problems, as well as neuropsychological assessment. I take a humanistic and compassionate approach and work with my clients as partners in a journey. My clients' wellbeing, dignity and progress towards the goals we set are my top priorities. Together with my clients I offer a tailored clinical approach to help you achieve your treatment and life goals.

Not accepting new clients. I offer caring, collaborative psychotherapy in a relationship of trust and respect. I have over 20 years of experience as a clinical social worker/therapist, and I welcome and honor diversity. I believe that everyone has the inherent capacity to make positive changes and heal. Often we aren't taught healthy, adaptive coping skills to address symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders. I can assist you with identifying strategies that will work for you. I also provide an accepting, non-judgmental space to work through trauma, life transitions, relationships, and other life challenges.

I believe all of us have to nurture our emotional health. Everyone goes through challenging life situations, and while you may have successfully navigated through other life challenges you've faced, sometimes we need extra support.

My practice includes working with adults who experience "ADHD and..." While navigating life with neuro-atypical wiring, clients are ALSO experiencing anxiety, impacts of past trauma, or challenges with one or more relationships (with money, with partners, with work, with family, with friends). My clients are often entrepreneurs, creatives, professionals, or helpers; someone with a lot of their plate who juggles many responsibilities, options and decisions.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your therapist. I became a therapist to help empower others to discover their unique and individual potential so that they may live a fulfilled life.

Wherever you are in your personal journey, I am ready to walk alongside you and determine together how I can support you in reaching your goals.

If you're reading this, you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Perhaps your important relationships are suffering. Maybe you know exactly what is causing your distress, or maybe something just feels off. These could be new feelings or feelings you've experienced your entire life. Often, the work I do involves exploring how earlier experiences may be impacting current symptoms, building an understanding of what is happening in the brain, and learning strategies to help regulate the nervous system.

I work with teens to older adults. I specialize in symptoms of depression, anxiety, relationship issues ie. I believe in mindfulness and positive approach to client related issues.

Or will I ever feel like myself? It all can feel overwhelming! As your therapist, I will walk with you as you process these changes to heal, grow, and empower yourself.

Relationship problems, struggles at work, and life events can challenge our ability to cope and ultimately to thrive in life. Patterns may emerge in your life that are confusing, that make you feel stuck, uncertain, and conflicted.

Above all, I strive to support my clients to increase their life satisfaction, reduce their suffering, and strengthen their relationships and capacity for joy.

Our lives are continually evolving and changing. We carry with us tools, strategies, behaviors and ways of coping with the variety of challenges, shifts and changes we experience, feel and encounter. Some of the ways in which we think about ourselves and interpret our experiences support us and work well for us, some did for a specific time and no longer do, and some of these thoughts/behaviors didn’t support us at all, are unkind, and we find ourselves acting against ourselves.

Beginning a new chapter in life can be challenging- I know first-hand how difficult new transitions in life can be. Hi there! My name is Allison, I want to congratulate your strength and resiliency in seeking therapy.

It is my hope that together we are able to work throughout your therapy, to establish a positive therapeutic relationship and reach goals that you have set that will further assist you in years to come.

We travel various paths throughout our lives, weaving experiences together writing the story of who we are. Experiences may cause us to question the path, and suddenly our story no longer reflects the life we intended to live. At these times of questioning, we must explore how to proceed. If you find yourself looking for someone to talk with, to think through where life has led you, allow me to walk with you for a while on your journey. What meridian lines do you need to guide you to your destination? Let’s work together to find how your story shifted from your intended path, and let’s find how your journey continues.
