Trauma-specialized counseling in Austin, Round Rock, and online
Every clinician here is trained in trauma-specific care. That's not a specialty page on our website - it's the whole practice. Find what fits, or call and we'll help you figure it out.
EMDR Therapy
The approach we're known for. EMDR helps your brain finish processing experiences that got stuck - so the memory stops carrying the same charge.
- Adults, teens, and children
- Single-incident and complex trauma
- Delivered weekly or as an intensive
- Offered in Austin, Round Rock, and online across Texas
EMDR Intensives
For people who don't want to spend two years getting there. Concentrated EMDR over consecutive days, in a setting that feels safe to you.
- Half-day, full-day, or 1 to 5 consecutive days
- In your home, at our offices, or at a retreat center you choose
- Ideal for busy schedules and out-of-town clients
- Thorough preparation and follow-up included
Trauma & PTSD
Flashbacks, hypervigilance, avoidance, numbness. Whether it started last year or in childhood, these are learned protections - and they can be unlearned.
- Combat, accident, medical, and assault trauma
- Childhood and developmental trauma
- Complex PTSD and dissociation
- First responders and healthcare workers
Sexual Trauma
Some of the deepest specialization on our team. Care that moves at your pace, with clinicians who will not flinch and will not rush you.
- Recent and historical sexual assault
- Childhood sexual abuse
- Reclaiming safety, intimacy, and your relationship with your body
- Partner and family support alongside your work
Anxiety
The racing mind, the tight chest, the 3 a.m. spiral. We work with the nervous system underneath the worry, not just the worried thoughts.
- Panic attacks and health anxiety
- Social anxiety and performance anxiety
- Generalized anxiety and chronic overthinking
- Practical regulation skills from session one
Depression
Not laziness, not weakness. Often what happens when a nervous system has been bracing for too long and finally runs out.
- Persistent low mood and loss of interest
- Depression rooted in unprocessed trauma
- Postpartum and life-transition depression
- Grief and loss
Couples & Relationships
When one partner is healing, both people are affected. We work with the relationship, not just the person carrying the diagnosis.
- Reconnecting after emotional distance
- Supporting a partner through trauma recovery
- Rebuilding intimacy and trust
- Communication that survives a hard conversation
Anger & Emotional Regulation
Anger is usually the visible part of something else. We work with what's underneath it, without shame.
- Reactivity and short fuses
- Anger in parenting and partnership
- Court- and employer-referred welcome
- Skills you can use the same week
Online Therapy Across Texas
Secure video sessions with the same clinicians and the same standard of care. If you're anywhere in Texas, we can work together.
- Available statewide via telehealth
- Same EMDR-trained clinicians
- Evening availability with select therapists
- Good fit for rural areas and demanding schedules
