Finding the right therapist to meet your needs is so important. The truth is, I am not the right therapist for every person. I encourage everyone to find the right therapist that can fit their specific needs. Below are some wonderful and incredibly talented therapists that provide support in the Austin area. I fully recommend any of them if you find that I cannot meet your therapeutic needs.
