Family Therapy in Austin, TX

Hello! My name is Leah and I use she/her pronouns. I’ve been a practicing clinical social worker for over 10 years. I would describe my therapeutic approach as warm and collaborative with a focus on building safe and inclusive spaces that encourage curiosity, creativity, and insight. I believe in the importance of choice to establish a foundation on which clients can engage in therapy as their authentic selves and I value humor and transparency along the way.

Are you struggling with connection and intimacy in your relationships? Do you feel misunderstood and frustrated after conversations with your loved ones? Disconnection in our relationships can leave us feeling isolated and lonely - even when our loved one is sitting right next to us. I am skilled at helping others heal their “relational wounds", strengthening their connection and understanding of themselves and other important people in their lives. Counseling with me can be described as a journey to heal past wounds. The best part is, this kind of work isn't just for couples, but also for parents, families, or individuals.

It takes a village to create the life that you want for your child. You want the best for them and only look to trusted professionals for guidance on their needs. As someone who comes from a Hispanic family (with LOTS of nieces and nephews), I know firsthand the importance of open communication and trust building as you seek assistance for them. No matter what the concern is, my primary (and ongoing) goal is to gain your family's trust. I value creating a comfortable environment for families to express their needs through any stage of the counseling process. My specialties include working with children and teens diagnosed

Hi! I am TX board approved LMFT supervisor. I am multiculturally/bilingually trained in English and Spanish. I hope to provide every client that I meet with an open, inviting and calming space to explore and reflect within themselves and share their experiences. I incorporate my studies in neuroscience and my training as a family therapist into my practice. My trauma work has focused on processing childhood wounds and unmet needs as a child, sexual, physical, emotional and psychological trauma. I also work with clients that may be experiencing stressful life transitions or grief/complicated grief.

People tell me they are initially drawn to my warmth, authenticity, and positive nature, but what keeps them coming back are the results they attain. One of my abilities is to see peoples "best self", their potential, and to mirror it back to them in a way that supports them to take action. My goal is to create an inviting and non-judgemental environment in which to explore and actively pursue your emotional, personal, and professional growth. Providing a balance between support and challenge, we work collaboratively to identify patterns that are no longer useful and to develop strategies for change.

Are you grappling with the impacts of a loss, medical diagnosis, or trauma? Loss is common to the human experience, but when it stems from the death of a loved one or a cancer diagnosis, it can be especially isolating and overwhelming. You’re asking big questions: Will I always feel like this? Is this normal? When will my suffering end? And despite trying therapy in the past or talking to your friends and family, it’s felt like no one has truly understood your experience. You’re craving warmth, safety, and radical unconditional regard—somewhere all of your emotions, questions, and fears can be freely shared and expressed.

I believe in our ability to change, heal, and make decisions that lead to balance and wellbeing. During difficult times, we have the opportunity to discover our inner strength, courage, and resiliency. I am experienced in working with grief and loss, marriage conflict, divorce/break ups, trauma, anxiety and depression. I am committed to compassionately helping clients in their journey towards healing, transformation, and self-discovery.

Our early years have a big impact on how we operate as adults. Our ways of being and personal struggles can often be traced back to our family of origin. How you were parented, the role you played in your family, the defenses you learned to get by or survive – these stay with you and inform how you operate in the world and in your relationships. Whatever your own history may have been, there's a place for what you learned and how you adapted; after all, it’s gotten you this far. But some of those early lessons have outlasted their usefulness and no longer serve you, leading to anxiety, depression, or chronic disconnection.

Life can be difficult sometimes for teens, adults, and parents. Childhood trauma, breaking generational cycles, or sudden life events can make us feel alone and unable to face our fears. This emotional pain can bring symptoms of depression and anxiety, cause a change in behavior and sleep or cause family conflict. You may ask yourself why did this happen to me? Or will I ever feel like myself? It all can feel overwhelming! As your therapist, I will walk with you as you process these changes to heal, grow, and empower yourself.

We all live in a world that can cause us to feel isolated, disillusioned, and even hopeless at times due to harmful societal constructs, personal relationship issues, life transitions, and countless other challenges. As a therapist it is my goal to meet my clients wherever they are at to facilitate the creation of new narratives in their life which bring them hope, resilience, and empowerment. I believe we all have the ability to deconstruct and reconstruct the stories that shape our lives in a way that brings us clarity and peace.

The relationships we've had throughout our life shape the way we view ourselves and others. Early life experiences impact us in many ways. We can benefit by examining these influences in a safe space. Many of my clients describe their youth as challenging or traumatic and some have experienced physical, sexual or emotional abuse. As a result, anxiety, depression or ptsd arise, and our relationship with self and others may suffer. I would like to offer hope & healing. Your symptoms make sense and you are stronger than you think. Let me provide a safe relationship to explore what's ailing you and find solutions for change.

As a therapist, I specialize in working with young adults and couples who are navigating sexual health, life transitions, anxiety, family dynamics, and relationships.

I am an avid ally of the LGTBQIA+ community and am able to create an environment that empowers and upholds clients as who they are!
