Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Austin, TX
My philosophy for therapy is that it is a collaborative process of partnering to develop new tools to create change. I believe in creating a strong therapeutic alliance in order to help you feel empowered to try out new strategies to maximize the positive results that you can achieve. I have significant experience providing evidenced-based treatment for anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, social skills deficits, and parent training/coaching. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and parents. I provide psychological assessments for learning disabilities, ADHD, and social/emotional/behavioral concerns.

I am a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field in various roles. I have a deep passion for working with people experiencing the effects of trauma. People are often nervous about beginning therapy; either they don't know what to expect or they've had some bad experiences in the past. We will collaborate to find the best strategies for you. We will talk about some things directly; we will address other things indirectly; each of these approaches work in different ways to assist you in processing and letting go of the pain and gaining new perspectives.

Welcome! I feel honored to work with children, teens, and young adults who are going through some of the most challenging times of their lives. I focus on working with individuals who are experiencing suicidality and nonsuicidal self-injury. People engage in self-injury and experience suicidality for a variety of reasons, but some of the commonalities tend to be dislike of yourself, feeling isolated, and feeling that your psychological pain is unbearable and unsolvable. I work with clients to find ways to feel hope again, start to like themselves, and find alternative ways to cope.

My practice is divided between therapy & assessment. I enjoy each and feel privileged to be able to do both - they are mutually enriching. My Ph.D. is from UT Austin. I have a B.S. in Biology (Santa Clara Univ.) and an M.P.A. (George Washington Univ.). I founded the National Organization to Treat A-T, which funds treatment research for a rare disease that my son had. My greatest privilege has been to be Mom to my three children.

We go through life searching for some way to accept who we are, what's happened to us, what our purpose is...often we do not fully understand the root of our distress, just how it feels. Many of us weren’t shown how to process complex emotions or the accompanying psychic pain. We carry it until we finally say, "I've had enough" and reach out for help. Bringing awareness and vulnerability to therapy is when the magic happens, and guided my life's search for meaning, that has guided my work for over a decade. I am a helper and guide, dedicated to creating a space for others to be vulnerable in. Lets do some healing together.

Hi, I’m Paula! A few of my favorite things include (but are not limited to): screaming Kendrick Lamar lyrics, breathing in fresh mountain air, and spontaneous trips to Juiceland (moontower fan for life!). I also spill food on my shirt daily, occasionally trip over the air, experience emotions very intensely, and did not learn how to manage my neurodivergence until adulthood. I’m a whole human outside of work, which means I’m a whole human at work! I am hoping that feels refreshing for you and opens the door for you to be a whole human with me too!

Therapy can transform both our inner and outer worlds by making sense of our stories, releasing what no longer works, and living more fully in the present. I do this work best with people who tend to identify as highly responsible, self-critical, and chronically nervous, tense, or guilty. You might identify as a perfectionist or people-pleaser, or say you "grew up too fast." Common goals include getting in touch with alienated parts of the self, freedom from self-criticism, healing from emotional abuse or neglect, navigating difficult relationships with family, and relief from symptoms of PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, or depression.

I've focused my practice on substance use issues and addictive problems in people lives. For years I worked with women in eating disorders treatment utilizing an addictions model. Later I focused on men, and substance use disorders. Problems can stem from using drugs as an unproductive coping skill to a deeper more physiologically based problem. Our first job together is to find what your specific problem looks like and then find a way forward that's suited to your needs. In addition I also offer services evaluating clients for Substance Use Disorders in Family Law and Criminal cases.
