ADHD Therapists in Austin, TX

I strive to create a space where clients can build their resiliency against the overstimulation and stress of everyday life by combining mindfulness, relaxation, and nature-based practices. I use a method she calls “ecofeedback” that encourages clients to monitor and control the physiological changes that occur as they harness the calming and restorative powers of reconnecting with nature. I also have extensive experience administering psychological and neuropsychological assessments to children, adolescents, and adults, with a primary focus on ADD / ADHD , mood and personality, behavioral issues, and neurocognitive disorders

Open and taking new clients! (in person/telehealth) The "ideal client" I imagine working with is an individual that is characterized by having difficulty coping with anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD , relationships, and offer Christian based counseling. The needs of the client I imagine would be empathy and compassion towards that individual, space for their voice to heard and their story to be respected. I imagine my ideal client would desire "practical" but, "impactful" coping techniques to alleviate symptoms. I imagine my "ideal" client aspiring to regain "control" back into their lives and to feel "empowered."
