I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

Individuals ages 18 and older are only being accepted at this time.
I enjoy working with people of color and others of diverse backgrounds to help them navigate through the life events that contribute to depression, anxiety, adjustment challenges, or any other emotional irregularities that affect their ability to function the way they want to.

Empowering Growth Through Compassionate, Personalized Therapy
Welcome to Free Your Mind Counseling, where healing meets authenticity. My practice is founded on the belief that every individual deserves a safe and supportive space to heal, grow, and thrive. I provide personalized, culturally responsive therapy for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions—grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration.

This flexible, holistic approach allows me to meet clients where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

I am also completing my Doctoral degree at Houston Christian University in the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, majoring in Executive Mental Health and Human Services—a reflection of my commitment to advancing mental health leadership and community impact.
My philosophy centers on helping clients discover purpose, balance, and self-acceptance through integrative, trauma-informed care.

I offer a steady, compassionate presence and a culturally attuned perspective, respecting both the science of the mind and your personal narrative. I am dedicated to providing care that is thoughtful, grounded, and respectful of your entire experience.
Hi, I’m Noemi. I work with young adults who seem to have it together on the outside but struggle on the inside with deep anxiety, intense stress, or depression that makes it hard to focus, enjoy life, or feel settled in who they are. If you feel like you’re trying really hard but still can’t tap into your strengths or make sense of your place in the world, you’re not alone — and I’d be glad to walk alongside you as you begin to feel more grounded and less overwhelmed.
I came to counseling after having already completed a successful career and was looking for something different. I completed graduate school in Texas and have since become licensed in both Texas and Colorado. The majority of my work is in general counseling and I also work with couples and families. I have worked for University of Texas schools as well as for the University of Alabama. While working in the UT system schools I helped with veterans issues and transition to civilian life. During Covid I provided counseling for military families and first responders.

In my work, I strive to create a warm and nurturing space where you can show up exactly as you are — no judgment, just understanding. Together, we’ll explore your experiences, uncover patterns, and move toward emotional healing and personal growth at a pace that feels right for you.

Frequently asked questions


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.
