I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the Austin area helping parents and children overcome emotional and behavioral challenges. Services are provided in-home and in the community.
I work with clients from all walks of life in navigating this chaotic world we find ourselves in. We often unintentionally rely on coping skills and beliefs about ourselves that reinforce feelings of sadness or worry rather than relieve them just to survive day to day. Through a warm, often humorous, and always open-minded person centered approach, I am here to help you examine what does and does not serve you to create or find new ways to approach life so that you can start thriving rather than surviving.
Hi! My name is Nicole. I earned my Masters in Counseling from Northwestern University, where I received training in psychodynamic theory. I have been working in the private practice setting for 7 years, primarily working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, existential crisis, and life transition.
I welcome EVERYONE to my practice. I hope your experience working with me is affirming, safe and empowering. I have been working in the mental health field for 20 years and specialize in trauma treatment. I utilize different therapy modalities for different people but love incorporating EMDR in my work.
I am a Licensed Psychologist in Texas and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist who specializes in treating children, adolescents, and adults with social-emotional, behavioral, and educational needs. I received my Ph.D. in School Psychology from New York University in 2008 and completed an APA-approved clinical psychology internship at the Devereux Foundation in Pennsylvania. I have received training in both private and public school settings, outpatient settings, hospitals, and in specialized educational programs for children and adolescents with emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. I participated in a Family and Multicultural Therapy program for two years at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City where I received supervised family therapy and multicultural competency-based training. In addition to my clinical work, I am an Assistant Professor in the School Psychology Program at Texas State University. My research seeks to understand and promote diversity and inclusion in educational settings. I am particularly interested in studying the development of and consequences associated with children’s social (e.g., gender stereotypes) and academic (e.g., growth mindset) cognitions. My research also involves developing and evaluating interventions to promote positive social and academic outcomes.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) who specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship issues. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families, helping clients heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, and create lasting change. Whether we're meeting in the therapy office, outdoors with horses, or virtually, my goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can build resilience, deepen relationships, and move toward the life you want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Austin, TX
Finding OCD therapists in Austin starts with looking for training that matches the way obsessive-compulsive disorder is commonly treated. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, compulsions, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name OCD, ERP, anxiety, or cognitive behavioral therapy, and note how each therapist describes their approach.
Austin has many mental health therapists, from central neighborhoods to nearby areas across the metro, which can make the search feel broad. Some people prefer an in-person office near work, home, or campus, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty and check for specific ERP training or experience with anxiety and OCD concerns. Review each profile for availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered, so you can learn more before booking.
Therapy in Austin can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find Austin therapists who focus on OCD and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
