"It is a privilege to provide a space of unbiased comfort to help facilitate insight and change in my client's lives. Prior to going into full time private practice I have worked with young adults at the University of Texas Counseling Center and at various mental health clinics with adults with addictions, mental illness, eating disorders, and those who simply have the desire to improve their personal well-being and interpersonal relationships. I use a Humanistic approach to therapy which is non-directive and assumes each individual has the capacity for change given the right conditions."

"Coaching or counseling are investments of time, money and energy. I believe you need an experienced professional that can help you feel comfortable while working through challenging problems. I'm here to provide that enviroment. My goal is to assist you in identifying, understanding and resolving the issues in your life that are not working. Each of us is a unique individual and it is my role to bring the information to you in a way that meets your own situation. Together we will find ways to help you change and develop better techniques for making good choices and developing life balance."

"I AM CURRENTLY ONLY ACCEPTING REFERRALS FOR ASSESSMENT, MY COUNSELING SPOTS ARE FULL. Life can provide us with a lot of challenges, and we all need that "go-to person" to guide us through difficult changes and decisions. I place a lot of importance on building a trusting relationship where you feel supported, but also safe enough to be challenged to make changes. I also value providing evidence-based treatment and interventions to make sure you get the most out of our work together. As a therapist I am active, direct, and will openly share my thoughts, questions, and perceptions. Please be sure to read more about me on my website!"

"Pflugerville Counseling Center offers a wide range of counseling services to individuals, families, couples, and children/teens. Though each of us specializes in different areas, we all hold a belief that counseling is most helpful when it is about having a safe relationship to more fully explore and understand self and the choices we make. We believe that everyone has a story and the more we can own our stories, the more choice and control we have over writing the next chapters."

"I am a certified life coach and Licensed Professional Counselor working with individuals to improve their interpersonal relationships, communication, and help them obtain their goals.

"I'm available for a phone-in interview to see for sure if I could meet your needs in therapy. I'd be honored to work with you. I believe in joyful and authentic counseling relationships that are self-rewarding, and allowing of transformations on the client's schedule of healing."

"I bring my vast experience from being in the field for over 20 years. I am here for you. I know that seeing a therapist can be scary, but very rewarding. I believe that coming from a loving, caring place is part of the healing process. You matter. You are important. You deserve to be free from the emotional pain and struggle."

"I practice from a relational, culturally sensitive, strength based approach. I tailor interventions for each individual and integrate aspects from different modalities of therapy (CBT, mindfulness based therapies, DBT, narrative, solution focused, attachment/neuroscience) to help individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions and motivate them to try something different and learn new habits. "

"Sometimes we get stuck in the “spin cycle” of life causing us to feel overwhelmed and helpless. Often, we feel ready to change but aren’t sure of how or where to begin. Throughout our lives we experience events, some positive and some negative, that shape our lives and create patterns in our behavior. It is these patterns that define our relationship with ourselves and with others. I will help you utilize your own natural strengths and self-awareness to create healthier patterns in your life in a way that strengthens your identity and your relationships. I view problems from an attachment, trauma, and family systems perspective."

"I believe we spend most of our days trying to get our God given needs met. I help you to understand what those needs are, and how to communicate them. As we explore your needs, you can discover when and how they developed. With greater self-understanding you can gain insight that is both healing and leads towards successful relationships and life experiences. If you currently struggle with pain, anger, fear, or anxiety, you will appreciate this therapeutic experience. "

"Mike Jenkins, MA, Certified Life Coach's ideal clients are men or women that want to challenge themselves and/or their relationships to move to the next step. Identify the obstacles that have held them back, develop their goals and future visions of themselves and their relationships and design a unique plan to achieve this. Change can be uncomfortable or even scary, so you need to have someone that’s been down their own journey of change and challenges. I have the life experience and education to be that someone."

"Are you feeling worried all the time? Are you lacking energy or oomph? Are you experiencing difficulties surrounding sexual experiences? Let's talk about them. I'm a License Professional Counselor in the Austin area offering weekend hours outside of an office setting. I can come to you, or we can go for a walk around the green-belt or some other relaxing place of your choosing. I want to help you develop the skills to improve your situation, whatever it may be."

"I am a licensed professional counselor with a focus on helping people break free from all types of eating disorders as well as providing counseling to those with military/law-enforcement related stresses and post traumatic stress. For military members and veterans, I am a Give an Hour provider (for more information, please visit www.giveanhour.org). I have years of experience as well as an in-depth understanding of eating disorders. I believe eating disorders involve medical and nutritional concerns and, therefore, it is important that I work as a member of a team."

"Have you had a hard time finding the right counselor in your area? Are you ready to start feeling better? I truly enjoy seeing my clients flourish and overcome their individual life challenges. In this space, you will feel understood by someone who has been through adversity and come out on the other side. I am a knowledgeable professional and a caring, authentic human being, and I commend for their bravery each and every person seeking help to improve their lives.

"My clients are individuals who have experienced hardships in their personal, family, social or work life. My approach in working with individuals is based on an Adlerian perspective which means that we will collaboratively identify how your thoughts and beliefs impact your behavior and how those behaviors stem from your early childhood experiences and family of origin and are connected to your relationships with others."

"Humans are relational. This means we are wired to be loved and accepted by those around us. We live among imperfect people, however, so our experience sometimes becomes hurt from unmet needs. The results then become unproductive patterns in our relationships, negative behaviors, a lack of positivity, and a sense of being stuck. For me, the goal of counseling is to heal past hurts and to process how those hurts affect our current choices and relationships. Once we free ourselves from the hurt, anger, guilt and shame of the past, we are open to feel love and to love others."

"I have had the privilege to work with at risk youth & their families from 2004 to 2010 before starting my practice. I have addressed issues related to drug/alcohol abuse, self-esteem, depression, family conflict, stress, and school-related issues. I have also worked with adults who deal with the same issues plus more. I've worked with couples & families (blended families) dealing with trust, communication & conflict resolution. My clients have taught me the importance of acceptance & patience with human change. My clients have reported that I am easy to talk to, passionate about my work, respectful and non-judgmental."

"I specialize in helping people think about how to improve their relationships, their emotional health, and their lives. People often call for an appointment because they are feeling sad, anxious, frustrated, or stuck. They may notice unhealthy relationship patterns (disconnection, conflict, severed relationships), they may be struggling with a particular transition (transitioning to adulthood, parenting, loss), or they may be struggling to cope with some intense feelings (grief, sadness, anxiety). I would be happy to partner with you to help you think about how you would like to meet the challenges you are facing."

"Life can be hard. It's filled with peaks and valleys and sometimes those valleys are tough. But we are not alone in life, and I believe that through a therapeutic relationship one can find meaning, courage, and ways to get through life's valleys."
