Grief Therapists in Austin, TX

I will put you, the client, your life goals first and help you reach them. We will work together as a team, identifying your goals and using the modalities that I have trained in. I will help you learn tools relevant to your grow. These tools have helped me on my own growth journey as well as the clients that I have worked with. I believe in the value of connecting to the body as a way of healing developmental trauma. This trauma could be manifesting in different ways, physically, mentally, emotionally or a combination of all. My work is grounded in psychological theory, evidence-based practices and incorporates mindfulness.

We are each incredible, unique, complex, and wonderful beings who are deserving of love for being exactly who we are, even if society tells us otherwise! Whether you’re struggling with anxiety/depression, loneliness, grief , low self-esteem, relationships, boundary-setting, sex and sexuality, LGBTQ+/gender identity, life purpose or meaning, we'll work together to brush away cobwebs of shame, find your voice, and strengthen your sense of self so you can allow your true "you" to shine through. I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and our work together is a collaboration to create functional, desirable outcomes.

Hi there! I’m Kat and I’m so glad you’re reaching out. Grief , loss , and other significant life changes can feel all-consuming and overwhelming. I'm here to offer a safe space for navigating big emotions and new circumstances.

Welcome to my practice! I work with a wide range of client concerns including depression, anxiety, self esteem, life transitions, grief , relationship concerns and identity development. I have specialized training in reproductive psychology on issues including pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and pregnancy/infant loss . I work to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel heard and understood. I am sensitive to diversity and treat my clients as individuals based on the uniqueness of their experiences. I believe self-awareness is essential to change and I encourage this process through emotional exploration and behavioral and relational awareness.

At the heart of my counseling approach is the conviction that everyone can heal and make changes they desire, by combining sincere intention with effective actions. When we are in session, you will have my undivided attention as I join you in clarifying and acting upon your core desires. I strive to create a space in which you feel completely safe and seen, so we may explore your unique life path together, and steer it in the most authentic and fulfilling direction. I work primarily from an existential theoretical framework, which views human suffering as deriving from experiences that cause us internal stress or confusion.

I am passionate about helping people by teaching them to help themselves. This looks like teaching coping skills and thought-change perspectives to expand their ability to cope with the stressors of life. I have experience working a variety of athletes from elite to recreational levels for both personal and performance-based concerns. I am also passionate about serving clients experiencing grief and loss , as grief requires being witnessed to heal, and I am willing to witness your grief . I welcome clients looking to work through anxiety, breakups, loss of identity, and life change.

An authentic therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant pieces to effective therapy. My approach to therapy is warm and direct, and my practice is guided by an array of therapies and theoretical perspectives. Wherever you are in your life that's where we'll start. We will work together at a pace that feels safe, and as our relationship deepens so will the work we do. I am experienced in working with clients who have a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship/ attachment issues, grief and loss , existential issues, and people who identify as highly sensitive (HSPs).

Has your most significant relationship been suffering to where you're wondering if you'll ever get the love and respect back that you once had? I enjoy helping couples find ways to communicate with each other more effectively to feel close again. This involves learning to discuss rather than argue, learning to express your feelings, desires and needs and to hear the same from your partner, and practicing rising above criticism and defensiveness. Rather than "in your head" talk therapy, it is all about getting out of your head and opening up on a deeper emotional level.

Hi! I'm Kelly (she/they). I have experience working with people of all ages and backgrounds, and I prioritize building safe and strong relationships with all of my clients.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with school, work, children, or just life in general? Has life changed unexpectedly? Is past trauma preventing you from experiencing life to its fullest? Have you been dealing with feelings of sadness or hopelessness that do not seem to go away? Do you feel isolated or misunderstood? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, just know, you are not alone. We all encounter a time when we feel insecure, overwhelmed, scared, or even lost. Sometimes these issues can become unbearable, but with the right tools and a strong ally, we can grow and heal in ways that we never thought possible.
