Anxiety Therapists in Austin

Hi! I’m Emily! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) that works with premarital/newly married couples and individual women (18+) located in Texas experiencing life transitions. I am Prepare/Enrich Certified and specialize in working with engaged couples looking to prepare for marriage. I also often work with young adults and women navigating life transitions such as graduating college, starting a new job, moving, or entering motherhood or an empty nester season. I also enjoy supporting women in vocational ministry and have been in ministry + counseling for most of my adult life. I am a pastor’s wife, a mom to our son, and love serving in our young adults ministry at our church.

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'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.

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.

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.
