You may feel emotionally exhausted from carrying too much for too long. Maybe anxiety has become your normal, family relationships feel painful or complicated, or life changes have left you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. I work with adults, teens, and couples navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, family challenges, and major life transitions. As a counseling intern working alongside highly experienced professionals with long waiting lists, I am able to offer supportive, affordable, and accessible care with close professional supervision.

Sometimes we get stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns despite self-awareness and effort. We may struggle with closeness, trust, or emotional safety, and shut down, people-please, or feel overwhelmed when an old wound is activated. Some of us have a history of trauma or attachment injuries, sometimes complex, and/or with dissociation, that makes everything more complicated. This can lead to a place of feeling lost, hopeless, or deeply misunderstood. You don't have to try to manage on your own anymore. I would love to be a reliable and steady companion in your healing.

Life is hard. Relationships can be frustrating. Grief can feel overwhelming. Anxiety can feel crippling. Depression can be heavy. Do you feel stuck? Are you open to slowing down, getting curious about your patterns, and taking risks to discover or rediscover connection? Are you looking to explore who you are, what you long for, and how to grow even through anxiety, grief, depression, wounds, and life transitions? Whether you're a couple, individual or family unit navigating conflict, establishing new bonds, healing from betrayal, feeling distant, or struggling in parenthood, I'd love to help.

I have experience helping people manage stress, build self compassion, examine addiction patterns, cope with family member addiction, address developmental trauma, brave parenting challenges, and change the way they approach and interact within relationships.
To others, you seem to have it all together, but the pain of your past and future colliding keeps you up at night. Past injuries have a continual hold on you and influence your most important relationships. Acting in line with your heart does not seem possible when you're caught in these patterns. You are stuck, but things can change. Loving yourself and appreciating each moment is an attainable goal, and one that I can help you reach. Through our conversations, you will gain a better understanding of yourself and your beginnings and start to feel more peace within your life and relationships.

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.

I have also worked extensively with caregivers and parents to help them better understand themselves to care for their children.
Hello! You have taken a very courageous step in seeking therapy. I have counseled children, families, and individuals at all stages of life. Over the course of my career, I have worked in urban, rural, and suburban communities, under government-funded grants, and through private funding in homes, schools, and residential treatment. Using an integrative approach that is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and family systems oriented, I draw from attachment theory, neurobiology research, systems theory, cognitive-behavioral theory, and existentialism. I also am an approved clinical supervisor in Texas, DC, Virginia, and Maryland.

new life challenges, parenting, and times of dealing with anxiety, depression, and developmental issues.
My goal is to help others build fulfilling and happy lives, even through unanticipated challenges and concerns, over a lifetime of development. Listening with curiosity and a thoughtful lens, I hope to team with each person as we creatively approach and work through the issues at hand, inviting and amplifying native strengths and potentials. At times dynamic, at times simply being together with certain truths, incorporating when appropriate the healing potential of working outdoors ... walking, talking, navigating terrain and thoughts.
