I earned my bachelor's in Psychology at Smith College and my master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rowan University. I believe in tailoring my clients' experience to their likes and needs. I enjoy creative therapy, ACT, manifestations, physical activity, CBT, and strength-based approaches to help individuals reach their full potential.
I am a wife and mother and have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I enjoy using creative outlets to help make therapy a fully integrated experience.
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.
My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.
I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.
You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you - carrying anxiety, stress, or the weight of past experiences while trying to manage relationships, family dynamics, or major life transitions. It can be exhausting to keep pushing forward without clarity or relief, especially when things feel overwhelming or difficult to untangle on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’re going through.
I’m Christopher Lewis, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling & development and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. My background includes crisis intervention, individual, family, and group therapy, as well as supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions.
I understand that people can appear strong and capable while privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to provide a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, better understand yourself, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with
over 10 years of experience helping
people work through life challenges and
the negative thought processes that keep
them stuck. A lot of my work is about
helping clients become emotionally
resilient, using mindfulness and other
practical tools from the theories that fit
each person best. If you're carrying
anxiety, unresolved trauma,
or strain in your closest relationships, you
don't have to sort it out on your own. I
work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a
lot of men who didn't expect therapy to
be for them.
Change can occur but I want to empower you to accept what you cannot change and come up with an effective plan to change what you can!
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Austin, Texas. I earned my Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and work with teens, adults, and couples. I primarily work with clients ages 14 and older, with much of my current caseload consisting of adults of all ages.
I particularly enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, as well as folks navigating trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. I love working with clients who come to therapy with curiosity, openness, and a desire to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Sometimes that looks like feeling ready to dive in, and sometimes it looks like showing up with uncertainty, skepticism, or hesitation. All of it is welcome. My hope is to help you connect with the curious and compassionate parts of yourself so that together we can approach every part of your experience with kindness, understanding, and care.
I am here for anyone who seeks uncommon peace and lasting contentment regardless of circumstances. As a therapist and theologian, I will (upon request) seamlessly weave Christian faith and mental wellness, treating both with equal reverence. Serenity is found where gratitude, intentional thought-authoring, emotional regulation, and value-driven alignment grow. Let's do this!
Kevin White is a chaplain in the US Army (17+ years) and a marriage and family therapist. Kevin takes a client-centered, integrated approach. Kevin has experience working with individuals who have suffered trauma, individuals looking for spiritual integration/direction, and couples.
I specialize in therapy for the women everyone relies on who feel like if they stop, everything falls apart, helping them quiet anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and finally believe they are enough.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Austin
Finding couples therapists in Austin starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Austin couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list couples-focused approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles.
Austin has a large mental health care market, with therapists across areas like downtown Austin, South Congress, North Austin, and nearby communities. Having many options can make the search harder for two people with different schedules, location needs, and preferences. Some couples prefer in-person sessions near work or home, while others choose virtual appointments to make shared scheduling easier. As you compare Austin marriage counseling options, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit.
Couples therapy in Austin can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for couples counseling in Austin by insurance, availability, specialty, and appointment format. You can review therapist profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients, making it easier to find relationship counseling that matches your needs and your plan.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
