Hi there. First, I'd like to wish you well, especially as you engage in couples therapy or psychotherapy. In the 15+ years that I've been practicing, I've learned that each person and each relationship is unique, so I've developed a variety of ways to help individuals heal and to help couples relate. By working with thoughts and feelings, with mind and with heart, people can move through what's in the way, blocking them from feeling better and being better. I'm absolutely honored to help with that movement.
I have two specialties. One is relationships. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist formally trained in the Gottman Method, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy, Real Life Therapy & IFIO. My other specialty is in working with trauma, using evidence-based EMDR & IFS to remove barriers, jumpstart healing, & progress to integration and individuation.
If you'd like to get in touch with me for scheduling, please send an email or schedule through my website. In person sessions are available in central Austin. For clients in both Texas and California, availability for telehealth sessions is shown on my website.
Take the first step to help. Call or Vanessa K McNamara now - (512) 943-6919

Psychotherapy and relationship therapy do not follow a blueprint, because we human beings are so amazingly unique. Your therapy won't be exactly like anyone else's. But for everyone, the focus turns inward, towards who you really are. It can be exhilarating or terrifying, or both. I'll support you, with experience and confidence about how to move in the direction of freedom and peace.
