Women's Issues Therapists in Spicewood, TX

Everyone is unique in their own way with their own needs and purpose to fulfill. With life having many challenges, so we begin with a goal to live each moment with sincere and serene grace, to laugh about at least one thing every day, and to love with passion and compassion. There is always hope for renewal and a bright future so long as we focus on our goals.

Do you ever wonder how you are going to get through a major life transition? When life takes you to a place of uncertainty, and you begin to question yourself and your ability to make quality decisions, wondering, "is it normal to feel this way?" Whether your changing jobs, starting a career, moving to a new area, or have a chronic illness, change can be stressful and requires a series of adjustments to get back to a sense of life balance. Much of my professional expertise focuses on life transition and the impact of change throughout the lifespan, from young teens to older adults.

I am a graduate of the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at The University of Texas, my focus is on helping clients build upon their strengths and find a sense of ease in their own being. I have worked with clients experiencing substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, relational difficulties, and grief and loss. I can help clients develop their coping and distress tolerance skills, make mindfulness and self-care daily practices, and improve communication and interpersonal effectiveness.

I love working with women, parents, and educators juggling work-life demands, and adolescents/young-adults adjusting to adulthood. We each have a fundamental need for connection, autonomy, and belonging. Motivation and behavior are specific and variable. I listen, reflect, and ask questions. I translate the science of wellbeing into actionable practices to help clients connect their needs, values, and strengths with their actions and visions; to raise consciousness, cultivate emotional intelligence, explore limiting beliefs, master mindsets, build relational life skills, lean into their purposes; live, love, and lead with intention.

Hi! My name is Utkala, you can call me Kala. I’m an LMFT-A in Texas offering virtual and in-person sessions with Relate Therapy Austin. I intend to create a safe place for clients to be their authentic selves while honoring their unique experiences. I am here to support you and provide the help you need. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a welcoming environment where any obstacles you are facing can be explored collaboratively. I believe we can work together to create a strong therapeutic relationship that helps you feel supported and empowered!

As people, we all continue to grow and learn throughout our lifetime. Counseling is just that, growing and learning more about yourself and how you relate to others and the world. If you don't know who you are, I would love to explore that with you. I am a strong believer in equality and in affirming who you are; your values and beliefs. I believe in celebrating and honoring our differences. Everyone struggles from time to time and my passion is to walk along side you and offer you the support you need.

Many of us can feel anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed without knowing how to feel better or who to turn to for help. Counseling can help us gain a better understanding of our challenges and help us move towards emotional well-being. I provide hands-on tools and strategies to address daily suffering and stress while working towards gaining insight to changing lifelong patterns. Reaching out can be difficult but worthwhile to improve your quality of life. I can help you move towards self-reliance and self-compassion and will listen to you and support you in a safe space. I can be reached through email, phone, and text.

You may find yourself looking for someone to listen, someone to help you work through depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief. It is not always easy to speak to a stranger, and reveal your struggles, however, I am offering a space where we work through this time of learning and healing together. We will learn and understand triggers and how they impact your relationships, work life, home life, etc. Learning and knowing which tools and resources work best can help reduce some of the heaviness you may feel. Having a space where you feel understood is important to me, so I invite you to reach out today.

Supervised by Sarah Arnold, LPC-S. I'm looking to work with clients who are struggling with life transitions and looking to make meaning out of their circumstances. I often work with couples who are navigating a relationship breach and trying to rebuild their foundation. I also work with individuals who are trying to repair or understand relationships in their lives: partners/spouses, family of origin, friendships, etc. I also work with individuals trying to process their trauma(s) and offer tools for healing.
