Stress Management Therapists in Austin

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.

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.

If you’re living with chronic pain, trauma, or emotional overwhelm and feel stuck in your body or your relationships, I can help. I serve individuals and couples, both in-person and virtually. My work is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach. I believe healing happens when we look at the whole person—not just symptoms. I am a strong advocate for mind-body wellness and self compassion. I help clients reconnect with a sense of safety, agency, and trust in themselves.

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.

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.

If you are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and related conditions, I am passionate about helping you to achieve the changes you wish to make in your life. I seek to provide a safe, warm, and affirming environment where your individual experience is validated. However, I do not believe that warmth alone is enough to competently treat anxiety disorders. When looking for a doctor to treat a broken arm you certainly want a provider who is kind and empathetic, but unfortunately even the most empathetic doctor will be ineffective if they do not know how to set a bone and cast an arm!

I have been a therapist for over 10 years and really love what I do. I earned my counseling degrees from Teachers College, Columbia University and have a clinical interest in big life changes, mood disorders, and relational work. Personally, I'm a native Austinite, mom, sister, daughter, and friend, and I enjoy reading, traveling, and trying to find the best bagel in Austin.

I have lived in Austin 40 years, becoming a therapist after working in the semiconductor industry and for several start-ups. What I enjoyed most was being present for individuals growing into their potential; I incorporate that experience into my work as a therapist. And talking about work in therapy matters because we spend half of our waking life there. Outside of this work, I am a CrossFit Level 1 coach, and an armchair neuroscientist because understanding our neurobiology can be hugely helpful in building understanding and self-acceptance. Also, I am the proud dog owner of Domino who loves to hike the great trails around town. I am a fan of the cookbook author Dorie Greenspan. I have a spreadsheet comparing all of her brownie recipes and have baked my way through all of them.
