Life Coaching Therapists in Austin, TX
You'll gain practical tools and insights to create clarity, balance, and lasting change in your life.
As of 07/30/26, I am accepting new clients, in person (Austin) and online.
There is nothing wrong with you. You’ve learned some patterns that made sense at the time, got reinforced by your environment and now things have gone haywire. Everything you’ve learned can be unlearned.
I’m Christie, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over 13 years of lived recovery experience. People come to me having tried other approaches and feeling like healing just doesn’t work for them. They leave with actual tools, a lot more self compassion and sometimes even something they didn’t expect, they start to see the good in themselves.

Together, we will build sustainable boundaries, process old wounds, and align your life and values.
From the outside, you have it all together. You are successful, driven, and the person everyone else relies on. But internally, the pressure is becoming unsustainable. You are battling chronic stress, a mind that won't turn off at night, or perhaps an underlying sense of emptiness and unresolved past patterns that logic alone cannot fix. You are tired of just "managing" your symptoms—you want to understand them, heal them, and regain true balance.
We will navigate the complexities of high-pressure environments, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our work won't be a superficial checklist.

The ideal client is someone seeking personal growth, healing, and support through challenges like anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or life transitions.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate challenges using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and self-compassion. For couples, I use the Gottman Method to improve communication and strengthen relationships. Together, we'll explore your experiences, develop practical tools, and work toward emotional growth and fulfillment.

I believe we heal through relationship and I believe relational joy is profoundly therapeutic. I work with individuals, couples and children through a systems/attachment theory lens. I incorporate parts work, IFS, polyvagal theory, interpersonal neurobiology and somatic integration. When I work with couples I use a combination of EFT and RLT to explore relational dynamics that are getting in the way of supportive connection. I have a passion for helping couples, parents and families navigate periods of transition.

I help people quiet anxiety and manage overthinking by exploring the stories we tell ourselves. Using mindfulness, narrative therapy, and inner child work, we’ll uncover what triggers those big emotions—often tied to feeling unseen or not enough as a kid. Together, we’ll break down the roles you’ve had to play to survive and gently reconnect you with your most authentic self.
Our thoughts matter. They shape how we perceive ourselves and navigat the world. But the brain can change. Thanks to neuroplasticity, we know that old beliefs can be rewired with awareness and practice.

I found therapy to be incredibly helpful to me in my early twenties and throughout my life.
Living out our own sense of wisdom into our fullest expressions both personally, professionally and in relationships takes bravery. Change and transformation is often messy and confusing yet frequently results in our wildest dreams actually coming true. It takes work. Change is not a path anyone needs to go at alone. Having an experienced practitioner (like a therapist or coach) can jumpstart change and bypass unnecessary suffering. I specialize in resilience building, self-compassion and trauma recovery for this reason. I weave modern neuroscience with ancient wisdom traditions in an effort to help people find what they long for.
