Addiction Therapists in Austin, TX

My focus is on meeting the client from a holistic and integrative approach to therapy. There are many avenues to find motivation to achieve optimal health, as well as maintaining gains through recovery efforts. I find great passion in assisting the client to find their true sense of self (authentic self) through self-actualization, which includes self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self. There's also a desire for positivity and purpose, healthy balanced thoughts, grounding and breathing through mindfulness, replacement of negative behaviors for positive, identifying strengths/solutions, and rewriting the story of their lives.

Welcome! I work with individuals and couples who are looking to heal from past wounds and find their highest self. With a multidimensional background, I will meet you where you are and we'll explore the barriers that may be preventing you from moving forward. I believe you already have the tools you need. It takes a safe space with which to release the emotional weight and begin to see life with a new perspective. 2021-update: I currently have a waitlist and am unable to offer immediate openings at this time.

Are you overwhelmed and confused? Do you feel like you are at a crossroads and don’t know which way to go? Are you losing sleep at night due to worries, fears, or racing thoughts? Maybe you feel like you are always on edge or never content? Have you wondered if you have a problem with alcohol or drugs? Or perhaps you’re tired of numbing your pain with a substance or a habit? If so, you are not alone!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist, my approach is a client-centered in order to provide a welcoming, collaborative and empathic environment for clients to gain skills to enjoy their life. I specialize in Radically Open DBT (RODBT), an evidenced-based treatment targeting over-control coping that is linked to social isolation, poor interpersonal functioning, hyper-perfectionism, rigidity, risk aversion, lack of emotional expression, and difficult to treat mental health problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, restrictive eating disorders, and treatment resistant anxiety and/or depression.

Congratulations on taking a step towards healing! I have experience working with concerns around sex and sexuality (LGBTQIA+ welcomed),  substance  use/ addiction , anxiety, depression, trauma, family of origin, support with work/life balance, medical professionals with vicarious trauma, isolation and loneliness, support with healthy attachment. The most important variable in successful therapy is the individual's feelings of trust and safety with the therapist. My first goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable to be yourself.

I believe that people can change at any point in life, but sometimes lack the self-understanding, skills and belief in self to do so. In therapy, a person can take time away from the rush and demands of life in order to figure these things out, make plans for change and most importantly, implement change. I want to help clients develop their own skills (self-efficacy) to continue to grow outside a therapeutic setting. I have 30 years of experience in the mental health field working with a very wide range of psychological concerns.

Individuals searching for assistance and guidance in what can be a very confusing mental health field. I provide counseling services for individuals as well as consulting/training services for businesses. Very often, my clients are looking for experience, relate-ability in conjunction with a diverse background to help them navigate the challenges they are facing. GSG Counseling, is a veteran-owned and operated business providing counseling, consulting and coaching services focusing on the betterment of individuals and organizations coping with an increasingly challenging environment.

Hello, Are you tired of dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, or anger? Perhaps you are feeling frustrated and motivated to make some changes but just not sure what to do. Maybe all you need is a fresh view on things. I help people specify the positive changes they want to make and develop ways to take action. We will work together to determine what will work best for you.

I have 20 years experience working in the addictions field specializing in Early Recovery,Chronic Relapse and Family Support. Perhaps you are unsure if addiction is a problem for you, Perhaps your a family member who has a loved one who is active in addiction and need support for yourself. I provide Intervention Services, Assessments and Treatment Recommendations. Regardless who you are, there is hope and I am here to help. With 30 years of personal recovery, it is my passion to help clients develop the skills they need to be successful in long term sobriety and help families heal.

You’re here because you need help. Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship dysfunction can stifle and hide who you truly are. You feel inhibited, pressured, and isolated, but throughout it all you know there is still something amazing within you. What stops you from being yourself both alone and around others? What stops you from knowing how to take care of yourself? This is what I can explore with you. I want to help you shed what is holding you back and illuminate pain that may be keeping you comfortably stagnant. I want the world to meet who you are.

The decision and journey to sobriety might vary from one person to another, however, most people have the same expected outcome: success and long-term sobriety. I approach recovery counseling and coaching from the perspective of individualism with focus of treatment and support to the whole person. My holistic approach includes discovering who you are as a person.

I am an advanced clinician in Imago Therapy and EFT. When relationships aren't working very well or are on the brink of ending, it really feels bad; like the rug is being pulled out from under you. Often there are solvable reasons for why these things happen. I am motivated by those methods such as Imago therapy and EFT which have worked so well for so many in the past to help couples develop a high degree of safe attachment in their relationships. Something, that once they have learned how to do it, they can take with them because it is portable.
