Lindsay Jenkins
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
I believe that relationships shape who we are and impact our behavior. When these relationships become challenging many areas of our lives are affected including school, home, work and individual wellbeing. I strive to create a safe therapeutic space where we can authentically explore those avenues and roadblocks so that each person can have a new experience of themselves and those around them.

Do you feel stuck and unable to figure out what you want, let alone what direction to go in? Maybe it’s work related, a relationship issue, family issues. Or maybe it’s all three. I help individuals and couples figure out what they want, what is keeping them from getting it, and how to overcome obstacles along the way. Many times the things that we tell ourselves are not exactly accurate but they significantly debilitate us nonetheless. If this sounds like you, I can help. Give me a call and let’s get started.
Molly Rafferty
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Verified
My clients are varied in age, race, and gender. They are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship issues. They need someone to listen and to validate their feelings. They need guidance on how to help regulate big emotions that can be overwhelming. They need to learn coping skills and communication skills to help them connect with others in a healthier way. Their goals are to become better at regulating emotions and getting out of their lower brain which is reactive into their upper brain to problem solve and make good choices. They want to stop the pain of their emotions and learn to live in the truth.
Erica Garcia
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
I wish that everyone had a friend or family member to share their deepest pain and struggles with. Unfortunately, it's very common for individuals to feel alone and afraid, even when there may be others around. That's where I hope to help. One of my main goals when I meet with a new client is to provide an environment of acceptance and empathy. I think of the therapeutic relationship as a place to practice letting yourself be seen and known. A place where there is opportunity for more freedom to "just be", without being judged.

Leslie Doctor
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-S
Verified
Whether your child or adolescent struggles with self-esteem, stress, difficult behaviors, neurodivergence, history of trauma or abuse, relationships, school or is experiencing a big life transition such as divorce, death, or illness - or they are expressing feelings of anxiety or depression with no known trigger, - therapy can be a safe space for them to work through their emotions and build on coping strategies. While my current practice is dedicated mostly to child/adolescent clients, I do work with some adults, especially those impacted by cancer, bereavement, infertility, reproductive trauma, ADHD or parenting concerns.

Stephanie McIntyre
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC

My practice embraces an all-encompassing approach toward making changes in multiple areas of your life based on Albert Ellis's theory of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). Ellis believed that if you change your thinking, you can change your life. I believe it is important to explore multiple areas of your life and the beliefs you act upon in order to discover opportunities where you can implement empowering changes.
I practice from a Christian perspective but welcome clients from any faith. I want my clients to feel empowered, encouraged and educated during the counseling process.

I consider myself privileged, if not honored, to walk through the life journeys of my clients. I work in a collaborative and facilitative manner with those struggling in relationships, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or work/family issues to name a few. Working with couples and post-menopausal women and their individual struggles in their transitions is also something I enjoy. I believe therapy should be client-centered, goal oriented and short term in nature.

Austin Sports Behavioral Health
Marriage & Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Verified
Sports challenges are unique. Understanding the connection between mind and body, and the role played by attitude, emotions, and perspective in achieving excellence is just as important as physical training. Our therapists are specifically trained on the nuances of working with athletes and their issues, which may include: sports performance & anxiety, injury & recovery, body image & eating disorders, post-sports transition, trauma, competition. We know disappointment is not failure. It is the opportunity to move forward into success, much like the mythical Phoenix rising above 'what is' to achieve 'what can be.'

Colleen Jensen
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Verified
Whether it's life challenges, obstacles or transitions that are prompting you to seek counseling, today you are one step closer to your personal journey of growth and healing. Fear of change is natural, but can prevent us from letting go of old beliefs, behaviors, ways of being and situations that are no longer beneficial to our wellbeing.
Mary W. Firme

Life's a journey, with many unexpected twists and turns. Sometimes we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts and feelings, dreams and fears, and help guide us toward resolution. I want to help my clients navigate this path, and to also experience the possibilities of living their best life possible. I work with older teens and adults, and also specialize in women's issues across the lifespan, as well as those with health concerns. College students are a special interest, as are educators, as I’ve worked as a teacher and school counselor and understand the stress and dynamics associated with the profession.
