Freshour, MA, LPC, NCC Therapy That Feels Real and Supportive Therapy should feel like a real conversation, not a script. I offer a space that is honest, compassionate, and tailored to you. You don’t need to have everything figured out or explain things perfectly. You just need a place to feel heard, respected, and supported. Whole Health Approach I believe therapy works best when we address your whole health: mind, body, and life as connected parts. Understanding how these areas affect each other helps build lasting balance and resilience. While I use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques, my focus remains on supporting your complete well-being. Integrative and Personalized Care My integrative approach blends evidence-based tools with a down-to-earth connection. I use CBT to shift unhelpful thoughts, solution-focused strategies for clear next steps, and client-centered care to meet you where you are. I also adapt other modalities as needed to fit your unique needs. Who I Support I work with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, family dynamics, depression, relationship challenges, parenting stress, low self-esteem, burnout, identity exploration, perfectionism, life transitions, and more. Together, we explore patterns, build healthier habits, and set boundaries that support meaningful growth and emotional well-being. Collaborative and Compassionate Therapy is a collaborative process. I bring compassion and curiosity to help you connect with your strengths, clarify what matters most, and move toward greater peace and balance. I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and supported, I invite you to reach out. https://austincounselingservices.org/services daily 0.75 2025-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c73493cb10f25809eb63a4a/1595296381723-RPAKQDMT3Y44ITWAIPBK/image-asset.jpeg Services - Teletherapy For those who value convenience or may have a busy schedule, Teletherapy offers a flexible way to access therapy from the comfort of your own home. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform that allows us to connect virtually through video, phone, or messaging. Teletherapy offers a safe space for you to discuss what’s on your mind, while maintaining confidentiality and connection, no matter where you are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c73493cb10f25809eb63a4a/1595296268260-2A0CQVWMOTBHV5GUN44Z/image-asset.jpeg Services - Individual Psychotherapy In-person therapy is a chance for you to sit down and explore what's been weighing on your mind. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, relationship issues, or a major life transition, individual therapy gives you a space to talk about it in a focused, supportive way. My goal is to create an environment where you can feel understood and develop practical tools to improve your well-being. Through our sessions, you'll gain insight and confidence in navigating life’s challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c73493cb10f25809eb63a4a/1595287016028-VPML5XCP0QULINJR3K0N/image-asset.jpeg Services - Walk and Talk Therapy If you find sitting in an office setting challenging or want a refreshing way to approach therapy, walk-and-talk therapy could be a great fit for you. In this unique format, we’ll walk together in a public space, which often helps ease tension and encourages more natural conversation. Many people find that the movement and change of environment help them feel more relaxed and open. Walk-and-talk sessions can be used on a regular basis or as an occasional alternative to in-office appointments. https://austincounselingservices.org/q-a daily 0.75 2024-10-31
