Your mental health care is essential, and our therapists will do everything in their power to guide you on your journey towards wellness. We love helping our clients identify and achieve their mental health goals while being there every step of the way.
We firmly believe mental health services and seeking therapy should be accessible to everyone. That's why we proudly offer fair rates, a sliding scale, and help guide you through insurance hurdles at our counseling center.
Individual therapy offers a dedicated, one-on-one space where you can develop a trusting relationship with a therapist who is focused on your well-being. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or personal challenges, therapy provides a structured and supportive environment to help you process emotions, gain insights, and develop coping strategies. Through meaningful conversations and evidence-based techniques, we work together to enhance your emotional resilience, improve your quality of life, and empower you to navigate complex situations with confidence.
Couples counseling provides partners with an opportunity to strengthen their relationship by fostering open communication, understanding, and trust. Whether you are facing recurring conflicts, struggling with intimacy, or simply looking to deepen your connection, our experienced counselors guide you through discussions that promote healthy interactions and constructive problem-solving. By identifying patterns of dysfunctional behavior and highlighting each individual's strengths, couples can gain new perspectives and develop the skills needed to nurture a more fulfilling and harmonious partnership.
Marriage counseling is designed to help couples at any stage of their relationship, whether they are facing difficulties or simply seeking to enhance their connection. Research shows that many couples wait an average of six years before addressing issues in their marriage, often allowing problems to escalate. Our emotion-focused counseling provides a structured approach to identifying concerns, improving communication, and strengthening emotional bonds. Whether your marriage is in crisis or you want to reinforce its foundation, therapy from licensed marriage counselors can provide the tools and insights needed to build a resilient, lasting relationship.
Depression affects millions of people, but its impact varies from person to person. At our practice, we recognize that depression is more than just feeling sad—it can manifest as persistent fatigue, loss of interest, difficulty concentrating, or even physical symptoms. Our therapists take the time to understand your unique experiences and concerns, tailoring therapy to address your specific needs. Using compassionate support and effective therapeutic approaches, we help you develop strategies to manage depressive symptoms, regain motivation, and rediscover joy in everyday life.
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting over 40 million adults in the U.S. While feelings of worry and fear can sometimes be overwhelming, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Our anxiety therapy sessions focus on identifying the root causes of your anxiety, recognizing triggers, and developing effective coping strategies. Through mindfulness techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other evidence-based methods, we help you regain a sense of control and confidence in your daily life.
Group therapy provides a supportive environment where individuals facing similar challenges can come together, share their experiences, and learn from one another. Led by a skilled therapist, group sessions encourage participants to process interpersonal interactions, explore new perspectives, and develop stronger coping skills. Whether you're working through grief, stress, addiction, or relationship struggles, group therapy fosters a sense of belonging and emotional growth while providing practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.
Addiction can take many forms, including substance abuse, behavioral addictions, and compulsive habits that negatively impact daily life. Our therapists specialize in helping individuals overcome addiction by addressing both the physical dependence and the underlying emotional or psychological factors that contribute to it. Through personalized sessions, we provide support in understanding addiction triggers, developing healthier coping mechanisms, and creating a sustainable recovery plan. Our goal is to empower you with the tools needed to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.
The teenage years are filled with rapid changes, emotional highs and lows, and challenges related to identity, relationships, and independence. Many adolescents struggle with stress, anxiety, academic pressure, and self-esteem issues, making therapy a valuable space for support and guidance. Our therapists provide a safe and understanding environment where teens can express their thoughts and emotions freely. By fostering open communication and self-awareness, we help adolescents navigate their challenges with confidence while building a strong foundation for mental well-being.
Navigating issues related to gender identity, sexual orientation, and societal expectations can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Our LGBTQIA+ counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their feelings, process personal experiences, and receive support tailored to their unique journey. Whether you’re dealing with coming out, relationship challenges, family acceptance, or self-discovery, we are here to listen, guide, and empower you in a way that aligns with your identity and values.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after exposure to deeply distressing events, leaving individuals feeling trapped by painful memories, intrusive thoughts, or emotional numbness. Our trauma-informed therapy approach helps individuals process past experiences at their own pace, using methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy, and mindfulness techniques. By gradually confronting and reframing traumatic memories, we aim to help you regain a sense of safety, build emotional resilience, and move forward with renewed strength and hope.
Face-to-Face counseling offers the comfort of being in an office setting, greater access to subtle psychological nuances that occur in person, and it helps to prevent possible outside interruptions.
Teletherapy counseling offers convenience, a therapeutically accessible and viable means of benefiting from therapy, and because it occurs in your own environment, it can allow you to feel more at ease and comfortable.
We understand you want to speak with a therapist you can trust and confide in, so take some time to get to know us, browse through our website, and view our Austin therapists’ profiles. We strive to cultivate the healing power of a supportive environment above all else.
Once you’re ready to schedule a consultation, give us a call or fill out our online form. We’ll answer any questions you may have, learn more about your goals, and schedule an online or in-person appointment with one of our therapists in Austin.
When it’s time for your appointment, simply show up at least 10 minutes ahead of your appointment. For online therapy, try to be in a setting where you can be comfortable and speak freely as your authentic self. We’ll contact you on your preferred online platform and begin the journey towards wellness.
"They listened when I spoke and help me decide what was best for me. I no longer feel lost in my own head and I know whom I can contact to help me sort through my life. Thank you All for what you have helped me with. I appreciate your time ."
TeleTherapy aims to make therapy more accessible. Gone are the days where you have to request time off or account for travel time to attend therapy. Instead, eliminate the commute and schedule your online therapy session at a time that works for you! Our therapists are very adaptable and offer therapy via phone call, or Zoom — whatever you prefer. And unlike national therapy providers, we’re all based in Austin, so we’re familiar with the city, its culture, its diversity, and the slow-moving traffic on I-35. By speaking to an Austin therapist, your sessions may have more context and background than speaking to someone on the other side of the country. Let’s get started!
We believe mental health should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer a variety of pricing options to help you find a solution that works for you!
Sliding scale fees and monthly payment options may be available on an individual basis.
(Please note: These are our general fee structures. Each individual therapist may offer additional fee structures. Please consult with your specific therapist regarding their fees and structure.)
