Oscar Health Therapists in Austin, TX

My role as a therapist is to facilitate growth and change by assisting my clients in realizing and exploring the primary concerns in their lives. My job is to help them get "unstuck," so that they can choose other ways to live. I offer tools that can help them communicate better, establish necessary and healthy boundaries, manage anger and fear healthily, and eliminate self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Most importantly, I offer assistance in improving the self, which can enrich and increase the joy in my client's lives.

Pain, mental suffering, and relational anguish are a part of life. The question is, what are these experiences saying for you? Desire might be inhibited, hidden by anxiety, or revealed through a symptom, but living without it seems impossible. Psychoanalysis is the process of finding out how to live with what cannot be lived without.

Have you found yourself overwhelmed lately? Given our social climate, you are in good company! Perhaps you're navigating relationship difficulties, a big life change, past trauma, or a significant loss. Feelings of anxiety and depression can drain our energies and become isolating. Trusted support is critical! I'd love to offer a safe space to process the heavy issues and uncover new ways forward. I'm happy to meet my clients where they are in life, without judgment. I work from a trauma-informed and strengths-based background, using training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EFT.

Welcome to my page! What brings you to therapy today? Are you feeling stuck, lost, overwhelmed, or not yourself lately? Do you need some help working through past experiences which are interfering with your life? Are you trying to navigate who you are? Whatever your reason is, I am here for you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and Colorado with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Denver. I graduated in 2013 and have been in the counseling field since. My experience involves working with adolescents, families and adults for the past 10 years.

I believe it is always a good time to reach out and ask for help. Asking for help is courageous. Wanting to change is brave. And I strongly believe that everyone deserves access to affordable therapy. Whether you want to learn new coping skills for anxiety for the first time, are going through a difficult breakup or life transition, have been struggling with depression on and off your whole life, experiencing parent/child conflict or family issues, or just want to explore self-growth, we can take this journey of growth together, one step at a time.

Whether life has thrown you a curve, or you find yourself on a “hamster wheel” repeating unhealthy patterns, therapy provides an avenue to increase your self-awareness, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and develop resiliency when faced with challenges, all of which will serve to improve your relationship with others and even with yourself. I offer you a safe place to tell your story in an atmosphere of acceptance. Therapy is a lot of work, but it is worthwhile work. When you are ready to understand what happened, when you're ready to stop having the same relationship over and over, I'm here and ready to help.

Do you feel isolated, scrutinized, and uncomfortable in your own skin? Does it take maximum effort to accomplish minor tasks? Do personal issues come between you and your professional goals? Have you experienced traumatic events that continue to weigh heavily on you long after the event has passed? You are not lazy, unmotivated, or unfocused. These may be symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma, including those caused by the repeated micro-aggressions experienced by sexual, gender, racial, and ethnic minorities. Yes, therapy can help.

Let's face it, engaging in compulsions is annoying! Anxiety causes us to avoid life! As a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional, I specialize in helping millennial women and first-gen Latinas navigate OCD, anxiety, and trauma. My counseling approach is holistic and person-centered, providing a safe virtual space for you to explore intrusive thoughts. With training in EMDR and Exposure Response Prevention, I help reduce your compulsions and trauma. Embrace discomfort and find comfort within it! Need an immigration evaluation? I also provide assessments for I601A, T-Visas, Cancelation of Removal, VAWA, and U-Visa cases.

Do you feel like you want to start over, just become a new you? I help you put the pieces back together and begin anew. Together, we can identify what's keeping you broken and out of balance so we can get you back on track. We'll use an eclectic approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit. I integrate different psychological theories to provide an individual approach to help you develop a deeper relationship with yourself.

Around my mid 20s I found myself feeling very lost in life. I had graduated college, but I didn’t know what to do with my degree, so I bounced from one meaningless job to another. While I was trying to figure out my purpose and direction, tragedy struck and in 2010 I lost my father to suicide, with no warning at all. In order to make peace with what happened, a few months later I applied to graduate school with the intention of getting into a field where I could help and possibly prevent people from having to experience what I experienced. I also realized I wanted to help people like my dad, who didn’t know how to ask for help.

Hi it's Hilda, Are you feeling stuck in the past? Struggling to find a purpose or having healthy relationships? Counseling should be a valuable space for everyone to heal by learning from past experiences, finding new meanings, and enhancing our strengths.

Hello! My name is Lesley, and I offer individual and family therapy services to adolescents (12 and up) and adults. Before moving to Austin, I spent several years in Houston, where I completed my Master’s at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work and graduated from Rice University with my Bachelor’s in Psychology. I have experience working with depression and mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and eating disorders in outpatient, Intensive Outpatient, and Partial Hospitalization settings. I utilize a variety of treatment methodologies and will work alongside you to identify what approaches best suit your needs.

I enjoy working with college students, professionals in healthcare, caregivers, singles that are dating/looking to date, single parents, newly divorced or separated, and specifically young adult couples looking to improve their relationships amidst juggling school, work, new baby, or life transitions. I also have a strong interest in helping individuals who struggle with the bi-cultural experience and inter-generational conflicts.

I’ve been a licensed psychotherapist for many years and now retired. Over the span of my career, I’ve worked with children, adults and families to help them achieve a higher quality of life. This is why people seek out therapy. I recognize when people experience symptoms of mental health conditions, such as anxiety, adult ADHD, depression, stress, or struggles that arise in work, friends, close/marital and family relationships can often lead to feeling trapped. If you’re seeking help to overcome these challenges that stand in the way of living the quality of life you want, I can help.

My approach is rooted in the belief that no matter what a person has going on, there is always an internal compass guiding them towards integration. In my sessions, I draw on Depth/Jungian frameworks, Buddhism, parts work, and polyvagal theory. I also incorporate creativity therapy and non-verbal therapies, such as dreams and somatics.

I believe the therapeutic relationship should be authentic and emotionally safe for you. I am practical and honest with feedback and have a laid back and warm approach. I will go at the pace you set and provide insight and encouragement. I will be respectful of your cultural, spiritual and lifestyle choices.

Joseph Campbell said, "The effect of a successful journey of the hero is the unlocking and release of the flow of life into the body of the world." Your problems are uniquely yours, and my approach engages that uniqueness with the proposition of pragmatic change based on evidence-based approaches. Counseling is a hero's journey which begins with a desire for a better life, and a subtle voice inside calling for change! I am here to help with that journey, and working to overcome the challenges that are the roadblocks to a better life. Visit my website inspirethought.org and checkout the SERO Boost podcast with me.
