I’m a therapist who works with thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who may look “put together” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, or the pressure to keep it all together. Together, we’ll create space to slow down, increase awareness, and better understand what’s going on beneath the surface.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Austin

Searching for therapists in Austin starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Austin has a broad mental health community, with therapists across neighborhoods like South Austin, Mueller, Zilker, and North Austin. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand a therapist’s approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or other styles of care.

In a major metro like Austin, having many options can make the search harder to narrow. Start with the practical details that shape whether a therapist is a usable match: appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, location, and format. Some people prefer an in-person office close to work, school, or home, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like Austin counseling, couples therapy in Austin, or relationship counseling.

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 and get a clearer sense of what you may pay before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search Austin, Texas therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, see estimated costs after adding your insurance, and book directly when you are ready.

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.

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