Divorce Therapists in Austin, TX
This may include improving existing relationships, recovering from toxic breakups, abusive relationships and families, estrangement, forgiveness, divorce, co-parenting, infidelity, and attachment injury.
Seeking out therapy can be both a difficult and a rewarding choice. Often clients come in with problems that are incredibly painful, stressful, and frightening. After working through their issues clients are often surprised to find they have gained deep insight, compassion, joy, and wisdom for themselves and others. They often look back at their suffering and can view it as the "best problem of their life." I find turning difficult life circumstances into this best problem focus is the goal of therapy for many of my clients.

Carl Jung said, "We cannot change anything unless we accept it." We cannot accept it until we are aware of it. Pain is natural, but struggle and suffering are what happens when we don't take action. That is where I come in. I help you discover what isn't working in your life, identify what needs to change and create a plan to move you toward what you want. There is no "right life" you "should" be living. Why sit in judgment of yourself when you can instead tap into your potential and thrive?

Life transitions—whether a breakup, divorce, career shift, or other unexpected change—can feel overwhelming, leaving you anxious, lost, or unsure of what’s next.
There is no instant solution to life’s challenges, but we can set intentional goals toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, I help you build resilience. I offer support, encouragement, and accountability every step of the way as you gain confidence in yourself.

I specialize working with: Depression and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, codependency, personality disorders, infidelity, divorce/separation, abandonment and rejection issues, loss of purpose/direction, perfectionism, obsessive thinking, low self-worth, control issues, career planning, parenting skills, conflict resolution and communication skills, self-esteem, identity and spirituality, wellness and more.
Sometimes the hardest thing we might do is taking the first step to begin counseling- getting help means we have struggles. The issues we face in life have the ability to deeply damage us, but also the potential for personal growth. Be encouraged that the first step to emotional healing is difficult, but it's worth taking. We can know how to love ourselves better if our value can be affirmed by someone who cares, and you can face them knowing you are not alone. I can help you reach your goals for counseling, or perhaps even find out where to begin.

Divorce Therapists
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
