Jamie Harrison

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Marcos, TX


Hi, I’m Jamie Harrison, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with individuals ages 6 to 99, as well as couples and families, who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward but are ready for something to change.

You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, overthinking, emotional ups and downs, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Sometimes it’s not just one issue it’s a combination of life transitions, stress, or patterns that feel difficult to break.

When working with children and adolescents, I focus on helping them build tools to manage anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, anger, impulsive behaviors, and life changes in ways that feel supportive and age-appropriate.

With adults, I support clients in navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, negative thinking patterns, self-esteem struggles, and challenges with connection helping them develop practical skills to feel more grounded and in control.

When working with couples and families, I help improve communication, strengthen connection, and navigate conflict, life changes, and transitions in healthier, more effective ways.

In our work together, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I take a compassionate and practical approach, helping you not only process what you’re going through, but also build tools you can use in your everyday life.

I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and therapy with me is collaborative—we move at your pace, focus on what matters most to you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I am Victoria and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas and Washington and the owner of Sound Mind Therapy and Counseling Services, PLLC. I specialize in working with identity exploration, women’s issues, ADHD, and trauma. I’ve worked with all ages across a multitude of settings including outpatient, education, hospice, rehabilitation, community, and inpatient care. What I love most about this work is witnessing that shift—when clients start feeling more confident, clear-headed, or finally understand themselves in a new way. I’m a creative problem solver who believes therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s journey is different, and my job is to help you find what actually works for you.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Austin

Finding family therapists in Austin starts with identifying what your family wants help navigating. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family of origin counseling, and communication patterns across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare family counselors in Austin, read each therapist’s profile for training, listed specialties, and experience with family dynamics that match your needs.

Austin has many therapy options, from central neighborhoods to South Austin, North Austin, and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow the list. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, school, or work fit best, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for more family members to attend. Family therapy may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different points. Reviewing a therapist’s bio can help you understand their session structure, approach, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.

Austin Texas therapy can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway lets you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
