Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Austin, TX

We, as social creatures, thrive when we feel understood and accepted. My goal as a clinician is to assist individuals in creating a greater sense of self-understanding, acceptance and appreciation. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy but use a variety of approaches in treatment.

Hello! I'm so glad you're here. I want to walk alongside you through this journey of healing and growth. I work with adolescents, adults, and families who may be dealing with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, trauma, stress, communication problems and relational problems – to name a few. I have over three years of working as a school counselor and over ten years of working with children and adolescents in community settings.

You deserve to have a therapist that has a deep and unique understanding of struggle, a therapist that is skillful, knowledgeable, real, transparent and compassionate. You deserve a therapist that gets it. You deserve a psychologist with expertise in the diagnosis & treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma & other conditions based on advanced knowledge of human development, the causation & treatment of psychopathology, psychotherapeutic treatment practices & the advanced knowledge of research in psychology. I'm a member of PSYPACT that allows me to practice across state lines.

I believe that a collaborative approach between therapist and client is most effective. My intention is to empower my clients to put the pieces together to help solve the mysteries of their inner world. I truly believe that my clients can find their truth and move towards mental wellness. I use an integrated approach to treatment utilizing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family System, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. I also believe in equipping my clients with coping skills to practice between sessions.

Collaborative space to explore authentically your challenges, together with evidence-based interventions, offers possibility for dynamic change. I work together with clients on issues including depression, anxiety, self harm/ suicidal ideation , grief/ loss, illness, divorce, and the many transitions we experience as parents. I'm a parent myself. I also support those with existential and spiritual questionings or moving forward from religious trauma.

We all begin the therapeutic journey with our own set of strengths and needs. Sometimes our uniqueness promotes creativity, new perspectives, and collaboration. Other times our uniqueness can be terminal; leading to emptiness, feeling disconnected from self and others, and beliefs that mental health treatment may work for other people, but it won’t work for you. Therapy is not about “getting over” events and issues; it’s about understanding your triggers and learning how to manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so that you can move forward and continue to build a fulfilling life.

Are you and your partner unable to clearly say what you’re feeling or need? Keep arguing about the same topics and feelings as though nothing is really being heard or changing? Whether you are in a same sex, opposite sex, early or late stage relationship I am able to facilitate clearer communication between you to decrease the intensity and number of disagreements between you. Additionally if you are seeking counseling for yourself and drugs and/or alcohol is hindering your life in any way it doesn’t have to. I’ll help you get to the other side.

I like to think of therapy as investing in yourself. You're the one person you are guaranteed to spend your entire life with, and there's no breaks from being with you. Prioritizing your mental well-being is an important step in reaching a place where you can feel content and satisfied in the relationship with yourself. This, in turn, will move you forward in ways that help you create meaningful connections with others, build community, and stride toward your goals in life. That path might seem scary and uncertain, you might even think it impossible, but I want you to know it IS possible and you don't have to walk it alone.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards healing! Counseling can provide you with a supportive, safe environment in which to explore and navigate life’s challenges. I am dedicated to going at your own pace and providing a non-judgmental, nurturing environment along the way. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in eating disorders, career counseling, severe anxiety disorders, and trauma. My approach encourages conquering fears, pointing out strengths, building self-care into your schedule, practicing mindfulness, regulating emotions, and identifying passions so that you can lead a purposeful life.

Are you a young adult who has yet to find a therapist you feel comfortable with and can relate to? Has previous therapy “only scratched the surface” of the real reasons you are seeking help? You’re not alone. My clients often need a deep sense of connection in order to feel safe in their most vulnerable moments. Most of my clients are looking for a highly-trained psychologist who is not afraid to show her humanity nor bear witness to theirs. I aim to make you feel seen, understood, and safe as you work through difficult emotions and/or painful past experiences.

Hello! My focus towards therapy is using a psychodynamic person-centered relational approach valuing the unique needs and desires of each client. I strive to foster a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to share their own perspectives and emotions surrounding their past and present life experiences while also identifying, exploring, and challenging self-defeating beliefs. I also consider how multiple systems of oppression and structural inequalities impact my clients' wellbeing and the concerns they bring forth.

Those I work with are often quite stuck. They may even be in crisis. They struggle with anxiety, depression, upsetting or intrusive thoughts/voices, unexplainable feelings in their bodies, painful memories, questions about gender or sexuality, substance abuse, suicide and more. These experiences may interfere with friendships, parenting, romantic relationships and/or work. The symptom, no matter what particular form it takes, is a message that wants to be heard and hopes to be spoken.

As a therapist, I work collaboratively with adults 18 or older to establish an authentic connection and set a safe and respectful space for clients to explore whatever it is they bring to the therapeutic setting. We will work as a team towards treatment goals tailored to your needs in order to bring awareness to issues, acknowledge and accept the emotions that arise, and develop coping skills that are helpful and realistic to utilize in real life. I value a holistic approach in therapy and strive to understand and empathize with your specific human experience. My therapeutic style is designed to meet my clients wherever they are.

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.

Plagued with constant negative thoughts? Feel like you're in a fog or find yourself on autopilot? If these questions seem all too familiar, don't panic there is hope... I have a passion for working with individuals who have lost their drive, that fire and sense of hope that makes life exciting and worthwhile. I would like to help you move forward to find that spark deep inside. I will tailor the counseling experience to meet your specific needs and unique personality. I will work in collaboration with you to identify problematic areas and help you achieve your personal goals.

Life can be unpredictable and feel like an uphill struggle filled with challenges we feel like we don't know how to face. Even in these hard moments, I believe you have the strength and resilience to not only get through life's burdens, but also find a sense of meaning, purpose, and deeper connection with yourself and others. These inner resources can be hard to find on your own. I am here to help you see your strength and ability to face challenges so that you can lead a more fulfilling life. My passion is to guide my clients towards making positive changes by using therapeutic tools that best suit the individual or family dynamic.

As a fellow truth seeker and meaning maker, I know firsthand how challenges in life can seem inescapable at times. I also personally understand the layered impact that a history of trauma has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting women to learn to connect, cultivate, and honor their deepest sense of self, from the inside out, and what I like to think of as on a soul level. I want to support you to learn how to own all parts of yourself - mindfully, without judgment, and to honor your soul.
