Hi, I’m Mariam Opafunso, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns, as well as eating-related conditions in adolescents and adults.
Outside of my professional role, I value balance and growth, and I show up fully for the people I serve. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I create a space where you feel comfortable, respected, and truly heard.
Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.

Hi there! I am Spenser Crain, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor supporting individuals living across Texas :)
I was born and raised in Texas before studying psychology and sociology at Chapman University in Orange, California. I received my Masters of Art in Counseling from St Edward’s University In Austin, Texas.
Life can look perfectly fine on the outside while feeling overwhelming underneath. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, constantly overthinking, burned out, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break, therapy can be a place to finally make sense of what's going on.
I bring curiosity, honesty, and practical insight into every session. Rather than giving generic advice or simply asking, "How does that make you feel?" we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck, identify what's actually changeable, and build strategies that fit your life. I'll challenge you when it's helpful, support you when it's needed, and create a space where you can be completely yourself without worrying about being judged or getting it "right."
I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.
I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.
I’m a first-generation daughter of immigrant parents, and I am passionate about helping individuals in the Hispanic/LatinX community overcome the stigma around therapy. I provide a safe, authentic, and supportive space where clients can feel understood and empowered.
I have experience working with survivors of trauma, including childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, immigration trauma, and generational trauma. I also help clients navigate life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, stress management, and relationship challenges. My goal is to help you understand how your experiences have shaped your emotional well-being and to normalize your reactions along the way.
I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families who want to gain deeper insight, heal from the past, and create positive change in their lives. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or significant life transitions, I’m here to help you uncover your resilience and empower you to move forward with confidence. I see my role as both a guide and a partner, helping you tap into your own strengths and resources to make lasting changes.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Austin, TX
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.
