5 Best Therapists in Austin, TX
austin therapists
As an Austin therapist and the founder of a private practice, I specialize in working with adults dealing with anxiety, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Working with adults and couples struggling with these issues allows me to offer the most to those feeling lost.
But, let's keep it real. As an Austin counselor who emphasizes the well being of others, I know I can't always be the right therapist. If you are seeking therapy for a child or find yourself dealing with trauma, an eating disorder, grief, or need family therapy, I might not be your perfect match. Rest assured, there are fantastic therapists out there specializing in those areas.
