Relationship Issues Therapists in Austin, TX

*I offer a free, 30-minute consultation* Are you feeling off or not quite yourself? Maybe you function well on the outside but inside you feel anxious, depressed, or disconnected. Maybe you're struggling with existential concerns--meaninglessness, death anxiety, feeling lost, or ultimately alone. I have found that the most uplifting and healing moments in life occur when we are completely open and exposed to another person and then accepted for who we are. In my practice, I value my clients whole-heartedly and emphasize your autonomy and personal choice. You are the expert on your own life.

My practice is intended for and inclusive of folks who identify as: LGBQIA (-"plus"), transgender, nonbinary, gender-expansive, Black, Indigenous, POC, sex-workers, sex-positive, plus-sized/fat, disabled, and/or neurodivergent. ... My practice is dual-focus: relationship -to-self, which is identity work, and relationship -to-others, which is relational work.

Not sure whether you need to figure out the meaning of life or clean your house...and feeling overwhelmed by both? I work from an existential perspective, but one that seeks to help my clients find pragmatic tools and a path forward through issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and addiction. Many people come to me feeling hollow, disconnected, and not sure how things could getter. But there is hope in seeking help. Together we can deconstruct the patterns and cycles that keep you stuck. I know how to guide you through and keep you accountable to the process of growth.

Are you struggling in your relationship ? Are you longing for a stronger connection and better communication? I work with couples who are looking to heal and grow to create the relationship of their dreams.

Hi, I'm the clinical director at Austin Integrative Counseling and Training Center. You can learn about me and the group through our website at: inaustincounseling.com. In short, I've been practicing for more than 26 years and I am as dedicated to the art of therapy as when I started. Relationships are the foundation of good health and sense of well-being -- whether the relationship is with others or with yourself.

Either way, I'm here to help you find your way to what your are wanting in life

Does it feel as though you and your partner are worlds apart? Do you remember a time when you were both so in tune with one another, and you wonder how you got here? Does the idea of getting back to that place seem like such a daunting undertaking you wonder if it's even possible? I've worked with countless couples who have answered "yes" to each of these questions and are now living out the relationships they always wanted. This is a possibility for you too, if you're both willing to do the work to get there.

Susanne Slay-Westbrook, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist-Supervisor, author and founder of A World of Respect, has been helping couples, families, children and individuals of all ages overcome relational, behavioral and emotional conflicts since 1984. By applying Respect-Focused Therapy, an approach which emphasizes respect as the centerpiece of therapy, I help clients identify and overcome hurtful patterns, resolve conflicts. past or present, and develop effective coping strategies in everyday life. I've written a new book, "Respect-FocusedTherapy: Honoring Clients Through the Therapeutic Relationship and Process," Routledge Pub. Available Oct. 1, 2 016.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious in your life or relationship ? My understanding is that life involves all of who we are - the interplay between mind, emotions, body, and spirit. If something feels out of balance or lacking in your life, causing you anxiety, depression, anger, self-doubt, confusion, or a feeling of things being out of control, then my approach to counseling can help. I have found that increasing one's self awareness and self acceptance are the building blocks of any change process, and I will work with you to honor your process while identifying your preferred direction for positive change.

Most of us are suffering because no one ever taught us that we have a choice not to. I believe that we should have the freedom to develop as authentic human beings. Therapy assists in this development by providing insight into your emotions, thoughts and behaviors. I would like for you to use your experiences from our sessions and incorporate them into your own life allowing for you to find greater clarity in the actions you take. My intention is for you to feel safe with me in our sessions so that you can get the most out of our time together during this process.

I offer one-on-one counseling for individuals exploring a variety of concerns including: anxiety/panic, depression, stress, life transitions, coming out, and more. I also offer relationship counseling which includes support for all kinds of relationship structures, such as same-sex partners, BDSM, bi-sexual, and multiple relationship /marriage structures (such as polyamory, swinger relationships, and open relationships). Whether you are currently working through a conflict in your relationship or pursuing a change to the relationship dynamic, we can process related perspectives of all parties involved while working to establish new boundaries and rules.

I provide safe supportive therapy. I help individuals find a clear sense of the direction that they want to go in their life and work through the obstacles that might get in the way. Whether it is old narratives, past traumas, relationship issues , or low self-esteem, our work focuses on learning new resources and skills to work through to new possibilities.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed about your relationship with your partner? Are you & your partner experiencing more frustration and conflict? Are you as a couple or as parents stressed out and needing support to help navigate this new normal? It makes sense that partners are in need of resources during these difficult times. Talking to someone to find hope and to feel more grounded can help. I specialize in treating relationships. I guide couples in managing everyday challenges as well as major changes in their life by providing skills and support to strengthen and restore relationships.

Self-acceptance and self-love are fundamentally difficult, and universally important. I believe your sub-conscious self and your higher self hold the keys to your truth and your growth. My job is to help you develop a better, more trusting and more loving relationship with those parts of you. Relationships with loved ones, coworkers or others can also be challenged by these issues of self-acceptance and self-love, in yourself or the person you're relating to. Whether you are working on yourself or your relationships, therapy can help.

Struggle is a part of life, but our struggles can often make life feel overwhelming, stifling, or even meaningless. It’s easy to feel trapped in patterns of being and relating that don’t make sense, that feel like they’re “not the real me.” Whether your goal is healing from traumas, improving your relationships, addressing mental health or relational struggles, or striving for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of life and yourself, I believe that therapy can be an invaluable tool for exploration, healing, and growth.
