Therapists in Austin, TX
Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re not sure where to start. You don’t need to have all the answers to begin, only a willingness to explore your inner world with care and curiosity. I would be honored to walk alongside you on this brave journey of self-discovery.

I work with teens and young women navigating the intersections of identity, relationships, self-esteem, and mental health. Many of my clients are figuring out who they are, healing from relational hurts, or learning to manage anxiety, trauma, OCD, and depression. They’re looking for a space where they can be honest about their struggles, feel truly heard, and build the confidence to navigate life’s challenges. I’m passionate about helping clients grow into a version of themselves that feels grounded, empowered, and authentic.

Welcome! You’re here because you or your partner is hurting. Whether you’re dealing with "Big T" traumas like abuse or "little t" traumas like feeling repeatedly rejected, a part of us gets stuck when the "no-good-dirty-rotten-thing" happens. But you don’t have to stay there. I help you escape the grip of trauma, depression, and complex challenges like Bipolar disorder or navigating narcissism. We hold pain in our bodies as tension—a physical echo of a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. It no longer has to dictate how you love, parent, or work. I am here to help you move forward into the life you deserve.

Do you ever feel like your mind just won't slow down? You replay conversations, question your decisions, and put pressure on yourself to get everything "right"—all while trying to keep it together on the outside. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
Maybe you're navigating a season of change, feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, or simply exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Together, we can explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop new ways of responding to self-doubt, and help you move through life with greater confidence, feeling more grounded and connected to what matters most to you.

You've worked hard to build the life you want. But something still feels off. Maybe you're wrestling with clarity of direction, questioning your path, feeling disconnected in relationships, or battling imposter syndrome despite your achievements.
We all carry parts of ourselves shaped by our past: complicated family dynamics, deep losses, unspoken expectations, persistent self-doubt. Sometimes we're living by beliefs that were never really ours, or assumptions about ourselves that simply aren't true anymore.

I have always cared deeply about helping others feel seen, heard and understood and my work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when we feel emotionally safe, supported and free to explore who we truly are without judgment. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, depression, family of origin relational trauma, C-PTSD and difficult life transitions. My goal is to support you in transforming difficult experiences into growth and self-discovery.

First instinct: "I do not like the limits of a 'personal statement." That may be a statement in of itself. And if I must...my professional motivation is to focus on increasing quality of life for people. This can look VERY different for every person. Walking along the "soul journey" to help people cultivate and create intuitive ways to deal with some of life's most vulnerable, and sometimes generally stigmatized challenges, is my passion. Shame (compassionately confronting this lens of life), co-dependency, abandonment, polyvagal exercises to create safety in the body to make space for breakthroughs, mindfully.

Whether your child is facing something specific or just not feeling like themselves, therapy can be a space where they feel seen without pressure, understood without needing to explain everything, and supported without needing to be "fixed." My approach weaves together attachment, trauma-informed care, and body-based healing. I believe healing happens in relationship, and that includes your relationship with your child, with yourself, and with your past as a family.

Has your life taken an unexpected turn? Do the circumstances you face feel frightening or overwhelming? Are you managing symptoms of depression and/or anxiety? Life demands change from all of us. Therapy can be helpful as we move through life's transitions. I work with issues that arise from our significant relationships, our career, and the general issues of grief and loss that inevitably arise over the course of life. If you are considering therapy for yourself or your family members, I hope you will feel free to call.

Living with anxiety, panic, trauma, or OCD can feel exhausting and isolating—like your mind never gets a break. If you’re stuck in constant worry, intrusive “what if” thoughts, panic attacks, or repetitive OCD loops, you’re not broken and you’re not alone. I’m a therapist who has personally recovered from an anxiety disorder, and I specialize in helping clients move beyond just coping to real, lasting recovery using evidence-based treatment. Therapy with me is active, supportive, and focused on helping you regain a sense of calm, confidence, and control. Together, we’ll work toward a life where anxiety no longer runs the show.

Talking doesn’t change things, BUT it changes your relationship to things. Together we’ll focus on your unique needs and where change is possible. You don’t have to do this alone.

Hola! I am Rebeca Cardenas-Salinas and I grew up in south Texas. So, of course I am Bilingual and proud of it. My vast experience is in play therapy working with children and tweens. For years, I worked in one of the most at-risk schools because I wanted to make a difference. I loved seeing children grow and thrive. Now, I am excited to be at Austin Bilingual Therapy and hope to make a difference as well.

Compassionate and direct therapy for teens, young adults, and families, primarily around issues related to adoption & attachment wounds, substance use, trauma, depression, self-harm, family conflict, and life transitions. I know these time periods in life are especially challenging, and family issues can be hard to navigate without directive action. Sometimes we don't know what could possibly make life more manageable or how to stop behaviors that are no longer helpful, and we need some sense of relief. I have found I am deeply able to connect with these populations and absolutely feel honored to be let into my clients' world.

Trauma Therapy -Difficult and painful experiences can leave us feeling unsettled in our bodies, our relationships, and ourselves. We may carry grief or trauma that shows up in unexpected ways, or notice patterns we don’t want to repeat. Often we know something isn’t working, even if it’s hard to name. In therapy, we work together to make sense of these experiences, develop greater capacity for safety and connection, and build self-compassion. Through thoughtful, experiential work, we support healing in the body and nervous system and uncover what’s needed to move toward greater freedom, resilience, and meaningful connection.
