Women's Issues Therapists in Austin, TX

Hello! My name is Madeline Giblin & I specialize in grief work, ADHD, & women's issues around anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, & work-life balance. I strive to help women who feel stuck, alone, helpless, or overwhelmed by offering a safe, nonjudgmental space in which they can express themselves fully, feel heard, supported, validated, & seen. I'm here to serve as an unrelenting source of support & validation - & I love every moment.

Welcome to my practice! I work with a wide range of client concerns including depression, anxiety, self esteem, life transitions, grief, relationship concerns and identity development. I have specialized training in reproductive psychology on issues including pregnancy, postpartum, fertility, and pregnancy/infant loss. I work to foster a safe and non-judgmental environment where my clients can feel heard and understood. I am sensitive to diversity and treat my clients as individuals based on the uniqueness of their experiences. I believe self-awareness is essential to change and I encourage this process through emotional exploration and behavioral and relational awareness.

**Please note that I am not currently accepting new clients.** When working with clients, I use an integrative approach that borrows from relational, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness approaches. I strongly believe that developing a trusting and respectful relationship is key to personal growth and change. I strive to provide a warm and supportive environment for you to explore your struggles and strengths, build self-compassion, and strengthen coping skills.

I specialize in working with stress, anxiety disorders, women's issues , and trauma. I believe that through self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-love we can strengthen and grow the relationships in our lives and within ourselves. You may be struggling with issues related to relationships, confidence, anxiety, or major life changes. I am passionate about helping women navigate the most important relationships in their lives. I understand that the patterns are wired so deep in our nervous system that even when we consciously want to change how we show up it can feel impossible.

I'm deeply passionate about supporting clients to live authentically and be fully expressed in their relationships, careers, families, and sexuality. However, this often entails healing conditioned patterns from painful childhood experiences and traumatic life experiences that impact how you show up and experience life. I support adults who want to go beyond talk therapy through a somatic lens to support them to heal unresolved wounds from the past and come into greater alignment with their authentic self. You deserve to experience self-love and self-acceptance, ease, joy, deep fulfillment and thrive in all areas of their life.

'Ring the bells that still can ring; forget your perfect offering; there is a crack in everything; it's how the light gets in.' (Leonard Cohen) When clients come in with cracks in their lives, I am committed to pointing towards the light. I love my job. Although I am educated and experienced in classical psychotherapeutic theory and practice, I have a spiritual foundation to my work. I encourage my clients to connect to an inner, Loving Wisdom -- and I am committed to doing the same. It is through that connection that we both are healed.

Do you want your relationships to be better? How about your relationship with yourself? Have you experienced trauma in important relationships and struggle with anxiety, depression, guilt, low self esteem? I believe relationships are extremely important in our growth and development. This belief begins with, and is evidenced by, the relationship I will work to form with you!

I practice 100% on a HIPAA compliant telemedicine platform - safe, secure, confidential videoconferencing - for any resident in Texas. You can go to the platform at doxy.me/barbarahunt and enter your name to learn more about how it works. Online counseling is reimbursable by most insurance. Online sessions are a great option for people who travel, work long hours, are disabled, live in remote areas, are new moms or dads, live in traffic-congested areas, are in quarantine, etc. Research shows that online counseling is as effective as face-to-face. More information about me and my practice is available at www.barbarahuntonline.com

**Accepting new clients. Offering in-person sessions and teletherapy.** My approach is rooted in the belief that no matter what a person has going on, an internal compass is guiding oneself towards integration and it is important to be in relationship to that. There will be space to allow the healing of old wounds, while also tending to your current life challenges and resolving them. Our work can also incorporate working with images, creativity/art, movement, myth and depth psychology. These facets can bring out metaphor and imagination, which helps to process the deeper things that are maybe inexpressible through other means.

When we open ourselves to the pain of the world, we become the medicine that heals the world. I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish & English) and I work with trauma survivors.

I specialize in women's issues such as life transitions, taking care of aging parents, low self-esteem, launching into adulthood, parenting, relationship issues and other life stressors that can lead to depression, anxiety, isolation or overall just feeling crummy. I have a lot of life experience and am able to relate to my clients & what they are dealing with on a deeper level. I am trauma-informed, person centered and I meet clients where they are. Alcohol & drug use are not within my scope of treatment specialties, however I can provide referrals.

Hi there, I'm elated to see you make your move towards health and well-being; I hope to be a part of that journey, no matter how small. Therapy is both challenging and rewarding in all its fullness. In the foundation of our work together, I help you in becoming present, empowered, self-aware, a better communicator, connective, and in tune with the truth of who you are -- whether you choose to journey with me individually or move through couples work with your partner(s). In essence, my therapy work will ask of you: who are you right now, and how are you relating to what and whom you choose to keep in your life?

Though you may not feel very strong right now, you possess your own unique strengths. As we sort through the problems that brought you to therapy, we will discover and develop these strengths and put these to use in helping you find greater fulfillment and inner peace. I have a deep respect and admiration for my clients. I consider it an honor and a privilege to walk with you in your personal journey.

Deciding to start counseling can often be a big decision, but I believe that it can be the first step to creating change. One of the most important aspects of this process is the therapist-client relationship. I really strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Counseling allows you to heal in a safe setting and work through emotional experiences to improve balance in your life. In my sessions, I work to tailor therapy to each client's needs, because I understand that every client brings unique perspectives and experiences.
