Marriage Counseling Therapists in Austin, TX

Most people who come to therapy are trying either to deal with a symptom-depression, anxiety, stress, etc.- or they are struggling with some relationship, or even struggling with oneself- one's own history, or a bad habit. Therapy always begins with your presenting problem. People develop strategies to deal with life, but sometimes what worked before isn't working anymore. A good therapist is always committed 100% to your best interest. Once I have earned your trust, it becomes easier to accept a new idea, a new approach, or a new strategy. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective.

There are those days when just getting out of bed is difficult. Having someone help manage struggles and figuring life out is important. The twist and turns of life can leave one feeling drained, exhausted, and in a mental fog, or a loss of wanting to or even knowing how to move forward. This is where I come in, helping those who are stuck, lost, hopeless and who cannot figure out what’s going on inside, feeling there is no way out, or even making unhelpful choices in life. Possibly a teenager or young adult scared about life or the future and managing stress. This is why I am here.

Due to our demanding lifestyle and taking care of others, we inadvertently forget to care for ourselves. Attending psychotherapy has many benefits, such as an opportunity to practice self-love, rediscover what you want out of life, or develop skills so you can become more vocal about what you want from your relationships. Perhaps this is an opportunity to work on things you have been avoiding. It's time to trust your instincts and begin penciling in time for your interests.

I'm proud of you. Awareness is the first step and searching for a therapist means you are already on a path to self-betterment. My role is to be a companion, someone to walk that path with you and help unlock personal insights and perspectives to improve your quality of life.

Allow me to connect with you to fulfill my life's purpose and help you reach your full potential. You are not alone and you are cared for, even by people you haven't met yet.

Do you lack love, joy, and peace? Do you remember a time when you felt those? Life is a constant process of change, but sometimes we get off the particular path of change which we had wanted. Relational conflict, anxiety, depression, anger issues, substance abuse, addictions, unresolved trauma or grief and loss all are symptoms that indicate that it is time for help to get back onto our personal path of growth.

Counseling = a safe space to share, feel, think, ponder problems, grieve, hope, brainstorm solutions, practice healthy habits, and heal in mind-body-spirit. If you think you are--or even might be--open to positive change, EMAIL (DrDanaDoerksen@ gmail.com). For 20+ years, I've had the honor of walking WITH people in healing through the counseling relationship. I am empathetic and engaged in supporting clients as they process ups-&-downs and pursue their goals. I am confident about having expertise but definitely don't know all the answers. I enjoy learning from clients and deeply value clients' wisdom-- YOUR perspective for growth!

Over the years I have come to enjoy working with a variety of clients. I work with children ages 2 through adolescence utilizing play therapy as one of my modalities. I also see adults for individual issues including anxiety, depression, parenting, and relationship issues. My practice includes working with couples assisting them in recognizing the problem cycles that get created and hopefully learning to build intimacy and connection. Since I work with children, families are a part of my practice as well-I see each individual as an integral part of the whole.

As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great marriage and life. You’re accomplished, always loving to each other and close with friends and family. But on the inside, you have never felt so alone. Over the years you have tried to rationalize, fix, and excuse your relationship growing apart, yet it is disheartening. Something just does not feel right anymore, and you begin to realize you feel like you have a roommate rather than a partnership. Maintaining a fulfilling and loving relationship can be a challenge in today's fast paced environment.

As a psychologist licensed in both NY and TX, my aim is to help people understand and overcome challenges that are restricting their well being, relationships, and effectiveness at work. For adults, I specialize in these issues: high-achievers, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, parenting, marital or family conflicts, anxiety and depression (e.g., social anxiety, covid-19 related). It is truly rewarding to watch my clients become more self-regulated, more satisfied in their relationships, and more equipped to handle life’s stressors through learned coping skills.

Sometimes we're faced with the why's (why is this happening), the what if's (what if it doesn't get better), and the how's (how am I supposed to get through this), and a lot of times these can take over, leaving us completely feeling well...hopeless. The truth is we are more resilient than we think, we can be stronger than we currently feel, and it's NOT always going to last forever.

Seeking support after the death of a loved one, or preparing for the death of a loved one, can be overwhelming. The focus of my work is to support individuals, families, couples, and children/teenagers when they are dealing with the challenges of loss due to an illness or other issues related to loss. I strive to help my clients cope with the difficult prospects of loss such as death, suicide, divorce, marital discord, terminal illness, chronic illness, job loss, and the challenges it brings to the client, and their family.
