I am also trained in DBT, CBT, Play Therapy and see children ages 8+, as well as providing ADHD assessment, parent coaching, and meditation training.
Being curious about what makes us feel and act the way we do brings authenticity, creativity, and choices into our lives. Our self-concept and beliefs about the world are often formed in childhood and learned in our primary relationships. Unconsciously, these early experiences guide many of the decisions in our lives. I am passionate about exploring with you, the patterns that may leave you feeling confused, frustrated, or unable to move forward. Together, we will create space to cultivate conscious and caring responses to the inevitable challenging events of life.

Whether you’re a new mom, a seasoned parent, or a high-achieving woman feeling stretched too thin, therapy with me is a space to gain real tools to feel like yourself again.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jana Rundle, a licensed clinical psychologist and certified perinatal mental health specialist in Austin. I help women who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or not like themselves, especially during major life transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, or young adulthood. You might be lying awake at night with a racing mind, crying in your car on your lunch break, or just feeling like you’ve lost a sense of who you are. You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. For over a decade, I’ve helped hundreds of women move from burnout, self-doubt, and anxiety toward feeling more grounded, connected, and in control of their lives.

Over the past 24 years, I've served in diverse roles within schools: elementary and middle school counselor, behavior specialist, college and career advisor, crisis support, and parent advocate.
I am a person centered EMDR-trained therapist. My favorite thing to do is to watch a person gain the capacity to navigate their experience with grace and confidence.

My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where clients can articulate their inner experience through both words and symbols. Deeper and clearer understanding unfolds as we engage in the therapeutic process with both a playful curiosity and a nonjudgmental attitude. I listen deeply and empathize with clients, while simultaneously encouraging them to confront the unhealthy roles, ineffective patterns and behaviors, and difficult emotions that are keeping them stuck in their lives. I believe that psychotherapeutic work profoundly transforms our inner worlds. It is truly a gift to be witness, partner, and guide on this journey.
