Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Austin, TX

When we open ourselves to the pain of the world, we become the medicine that heals the world. I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish & English) and I work with trauma survivors. I believe in the resilience of each person and bring a great deal of my own creativity to sessions. My areas of specialty include childhood trauma resolution, women's issues, racial and cultural identity challenges.

Currently accepting new clients! Hi, and welcome! My name is Hannah, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing warm, connected therapy to teens, adults, couples, and families looking to address a variety of issues. I take a holistic approach to my clients' healing, supporting them in experiencing greater peace in themselves and their lives. It is always my goal to provide a space that is non-judgmental, freeing, and challenging when needed. As therapy often reflects life, we will laugh and cry, find the joys and process the hurts. And I will be here for all of it.

We are biologically wired from birth to need safe, accepting connections with others. When we get those, we develop openness to relationships and resilience to cope with life’s inevitable pain. If you lacked that support, patterns can develop that inadvertently keep you stuck in pain. These patterns can include self-criticism, worry, anger, lethargy, numbness, shame, guilt, fear of closeness, and more. My work focuses on helping people with past abuse and neglect rediscover their body’s innate ability to rebalance from stress, relate to themselves with more care, and relate to others more confidently and authentically.

There are times when life presents us with situations that feel practically impossible to navigate alone. We may try to take matters into our own hands, ask advice from friends and family or simply avoid the issue altogether, but the feelings persist. We become stuck and often hopeless. You do not have to struggle alone. In making the decision to go to therapy, you are taking a brave first step toward change, healing and self-love. At Revitalize Psychotherapy, I offer you a safe, unbiased space to express your feelings and gain support and guidance. It is an honor for me join you on your journey to balance, well-being and joy!

My ideal client is human; inherently flawed and curious. This human is seeking collaboration, a non-judgmental space in which to grow, thrive, and learn through relational education between themselves and ultimately with others. The path chosen is ultimately one of healing, reconciliation, acceptance , growth, and forgiveness. The decision made to show up in therapy is a huge first step to move from surviving and stagnation to thriving and introspection. It is my honor whenever I have the opportunity to take this journey with you.

Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort, and I encourage my clients to take an active role in making decisions about their treatment. While I make my clients’ goals the focus of their treatment, I also seek to engender in my clients the following abilities: mental flexibility, emotional control, distress tolerance, interpersonal communication, mindfulness, and self-enquiry.

I feel honored to share in the growth and healing process of others. I come to the counseling field with a background in health and fitness as a personal trainer, marathon and triathlon coach, and Licensed Massage Therapist. My background provides me with an unique, holistic lens to address the whole person. The services I provide are compassion focused, exploratory, and highly relational. With my strength-based, collaborative approach to therapy, I endeavor to empower individuals to create more authentic and wholehearted lives by embracing vulnerability and practicing courage.

If you find yourself experiencing unwanted behaviors, anxiety, feelings of guilt or shame, or even feeling like you don't fit in you are in the right place. Therapy can provide a space for understanding, healing and growth. I offer a safe space of non-judgment to help you explore the issues that are arising in your life and causing you pain or discomfort. It's my belief that as social, curious beings, healthy and meaningful connection plays a crucial role in our ability to relate to the world around us and ourselves. I bring this forward in my work as a counselor and emphasize the importance of vulnerability and self-compassion.

I'm only accepting telehealth clients and will have availability starting July 2021. I work with people struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction and other life challenges. The time you take, as well as, the effort you invest in and outside of therapy may help you realize central themes in your life and what you can to do to create a positive change. As you share with me your personal story/situation, I will help you gain skills and "tools" intended to move you closer towards reaching your personal value based goals.

If you are battling an eating disorder, fighting feelings of depression and anxiety, and struggling with self-compassion, I'd love to walk with you as you work to heal. In our sessions, we will explore who you are and what matters to you, we will tackle thought patterns that aren't serving you, and work on new ways to interact with your thoughts and feelings that serve you more effectively. I have found that the clients I am most "in my element" with are teens and young adults. When working with teens, I also work closely with parents to help them navigate supporting their teen at home.

At times life can feel stressful and overwhelming, however I am here to help you navigate your way through it, to not only survive, but thrive at life. I offer therapy for those who may be experiencing life changes or transitions, having difficulties in their personal relationships, depression, anxiety, and a variety of other challenges that may be affecting your mood or quality of life. My experiences have given me the valuable opportunity to work with people from diverse cultural, ethnic, and sexual backgrounds. In doing so, I provide culturally sensitive therapy in a supportive and safe environment.

We all do the best we can to cope, but sometimes our efforts throw us out of balance. I work with individuals who are feeling the impacts of these imbalances viscerally, either people who are analytically minded who feel emotions are a hinderance or people who are highly sensitive whose feelings can act like an overwhelming tidal wave. Our imbalances can manifest in depression, anxiety, overwhelming stress, or a dissatisfaction with relationships. In our work together you can expect for us to create treatment goals guided by your core values that move you towards clarity and growth.

Are you seeking inner peace and looking to make the first step towards feeling better?

Together, we will work to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that hinder you from creating a fulfilling and satisfying life. I meet you where you are and help you build the necessary skills to enhance your emotional health and improve your interpersonal relationships.

Are you looking for a safe space to explore the ups and downs of life? I believe we can all heal, and I will help you become more present and connected with your body, hope and resilience. With an integrative approach, I use a combination of Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation Skills, and Psychotherapy, all based in a Trauma-Informed framework. I also approach healing from a systems perspective, seeking to help my clients increase supportive structures that deepen their sense of community and belonging.

If you are looking for a therapist that wants to incorporate your important geeky interests into your mental health, I am a Certified Geek Therapist that can help you!

I hope to work with you on improving your life and experiencing with you new ways to help foster peace of mind about past, future, or current experiences.

Welcome! Life brings about challenges that can leave us feeling fragmented and disconnected. I view my role as empowering you to overcome these challenges by tapping into your innate desire to adapt, change, and grow, as well as, helping you identify negative thinking or behavior patterns that no longer serve you. I empower my clients to work through their problems that feel overwhelming and move toward freedom, acceptance , healing, and connection.
