Find a Therapist in Austin, TX

Hello! I am a Texas board approved LMFT Supervisor accepting LMFT-A supervisees. I am Mexican/American and bilingually trained in Eng/Spanish. I have past experience in working with individuals, couples, families, parenting education, law enforcement/corrections and community mental health. I incorporate my studies in neuroscience and my training as a family therapist into my practice. My trauma work focuses on helping clients process past childhood unmet needs/trauma, sexual, physical, emotional and psychological trauma. I also work with clients that may be experiencing stressful life transitions or grief/complicated grief. I also specialize in the treatment of childhood trauma, depressive and anxiety disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Complex-PTSD, young adults, life transitions, women's health and grief.

I work with adults, teens (13+), and couples who look like they have it all together—but are barely holding on. If you're just trying to get through the day, managing everything on the outside while struggling on the inside, you're not alone. And you're not broken. Maybe you're dealing with constant anxiety, a mind that won't stop racing, anger that surprises you, or a need to control everything around you. Maybe you're avoiding things that used to matter, relying on substances to take the edge off, or just feeling exhausted from trying to keep it all together. I don't just treat symptoms. I help you understand why they're there in the first place. Your symptoms—the anxiety, the anger, the avoidance—aren't the problem. They're your body's way of telling you something needs attention. Something you've been pushing aside or don't fully understand yet. We'll work together to figure out what you're really dealing with underneath the survival mode. Once we understand why your nervous system is responding this way, we can find better ways forward that don't require you to just keep pushing through. No clinical jargon. No, making you feel like a diagnosis. Just practical, evidence-based work that helps you understand what's happening and why—and gives you real tools to feel better. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience in trauma-informed care. I work with individuals and couples in-person and online throughout TX and Austin using CBT/DBT.

I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in medication management and integrative mental health care. My approach blends traditional psychiatry with metabolic psychiatry and functional medicine to address the root causes of anxiety, depression, burnout, and mood instability. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, brain fog, and mood changes — especially during life transitions such as perimenopause, menopause, and periods of high stress. Rather than focusing only on symptom control, I explore how nutrition, metabolism, hormones, sleep, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle factors influence mental well-being. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps you feel more balanced, resilient, and like yourself again.

I will bring a spirit of warmth, authenticity, and compassion to our work together…and a bit of humor from time to time as well. I became a therapist because I have personally experienced the power of counseling. You are the expert on you. My job is to walk alongside you as you explore where you’ve been, where you are, and where you want to go. Your story matters, and I am here to listen, support, and guide you as you unfold the chapters of your life. As a psychotherapist, my mission is to create a nurturing environment where you can freely express your thoughts, fears, hopes, and dreams. Every journey begins with the first step and, in reading this, you are on the way. Together, can navigate the pathways of your journey, fostering understanding, resilience, and personal growth. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with Latinx Concentration from the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas. I often describe my career as “eclectic”. My undergraduate degree is in accounting and I’ve worked as an auditor, comptroller, finance director, and CFO. I’ve also worked in human resources, government relations, fundraising, and organizational development consulting. Once I had the idea to become a psychotherapist, the idea would not let go of me. Here I am. And I'm thrilled to be here.

People seek therapy for a number of reasons, often because they feel 'stuck' in unproductive patterns and don't know how to move forward toward a more satisfying life. You may be seeking therapy because you are suffering with a biologically based mental illness, such as depression, psychological distress, conflict in your relationships, or out of a desire for deeper understanding of yourself and more authentic connections with others. I believe that through a genuine, validating connection with a therapist you can begin to find the key to a more peaceful, fulfilling life. I believe in working with each individual and family in a non-judgmental, direct, and collaborative way. My aim is to help clients foster a better understanding of themselves as individuals and how they relate to others, and through this understanding, make the changes needed to live a more fulfilling, engaged life. After receiving my Bachelors degree in Psychology from San Diego State University in 1993, I went on to receive my Masters degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling from the University of San Diego in 1997. Since graduating, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including hospital based psychiatric clinics, community based mental health clinics, school based mental health clinics, and most recently in private practice. My previous work has included crisis management, assessment, and treatment of individuals with severe mental illness, and treatment of children and families.

Hi, I'm Amber Martinez, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in psychotherapy. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, and eating disorders. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for clients throughout Texas.

Welcome! I'm Shannon, a therapist who works with women struggling with anxiety, trauma symptoms, and relationship challenges. I tend to be the therapist I personally would want to work with: real, genuine, non-judgmental, and with a touch of humor. I offer individual sessions for folks who want a little bit more than traditional talk therapy. This means incorporating some somatic and evidence based practices (called IFS and EMDR) that help you understand and reprocess your symptoms as opposed to just talking about them on a surface level. Whether you are brand new to therapy or have done it for years, I'd love to chat about your current goals.

I'm Jasmine, a board certified clinical psychologist who helps kids, teens, adults, and families untangle overwhelming emotions and find practical ways forward. I specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, and I love supporting helpers - healthcare workers, therapists, children of immigrants - people who often carry more than they share. I grew up in Texas, trained in New York, and love visiting Rio de Janeiro. The Texas in me brings genuine warmth, the New York in me brings straightforward clarity, and the Rio part of me carries playful, free-spirited energy. This balance helps clients feel cared for while also being gently challenged, with space for both serious work and moments of lightness along the way. Background: Before moving to Austin and starting my own private practice, I worked for 8 years in an academic medical center in inpatient and partial hospitalization for pediatric eating disorders in Plano, TX. Prior to that, I did a postdoctoral fellowship at the Dallas VA, focused on Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy. My internship was at the University of Rochester Medical Center, working with children and adolescents. I earned my doctorate from St. John’s University and while in New York, I did externships at Bellevue Hospital and Zucker Hillside Hospital.

You may look like you’ve got it together, but inside you’re carrying too much. I work with adults, couples, and families who feel stuck in painful patterns, weighed down by past experiences, or unsure how to move forward. I offer trauma-informed therapy in a calm, supportive space where you don’t have to explain or minimize what you’ve been through. Together, we slow things down, help your nervous system settle, and make sense of your emotions so meaningful change can happen. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in research, while always honoring your lived experience. I have extensive experience supporting clients with trauma, family and relationship challenges, and parenting stress. Many of my clients are caregivers, parents, or people who are used to being the reliable one and are realizing they need support too. I believe healing happens in safe, authentic relationships, and I’m honored to walk alongside clients as they build resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self. I offer in-person therapy in Northwest Austin and Round Rock, as well as online therapy across Texas.

I support professional women, who are often moms in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are struggling with anxiety, managing midlife transitions, grief, trauma, constant overthinking. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over a decade of experience. I am a certified EMDR and Brainspotting therapist with advanced training in IFS, DBT, and trauma informed CBT, and I see clients in Texas both in person and online. The women I support are often the planners and managers of their families and lives. You might be like some of my clients who quietly keep track of schedules, school emails, meals, medications, aging parents, work demands, and relationship dynamics while moving through perimenopause, menopause, or other big life transitions. On the outside you may look like you are holding it together. Inside, your mind does not shut off, replaying conversations, anticipating what could go wrong, and bumping your own needs to the bottom of the list.
