Therapists for college students near University of Texas at Austin

I am licensed in Texas with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, family conflicts, & bipolar disorder. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

I work with adults who may be struggling with adjustment issues, stress, anxiety, and depression. My approach to therapy is being open, empowering and meeting you where you are. The environment that I create is one of trust and peace. I want you to be yourself. My job is to create a safe space for you to communicate openly and freely in a trusting, nonjudgmental environment. I believe that you are the expert on all things you. Collaboration is key in our work together so that you can develop goals that are attainable, reflect your needs and strengths and enhance your life in a positive way.

What if, what if you had a person to help you with reducing the burden of sadness...anxiety...fear... What if, what if you had a person who created a safe, non-judgmental space who could help you move towards positive change in your life. With over 20 years of experience, I have developed a compassionate and informed approach to therapy. My client centered approach integrates culturally informed and evidenced based treatment practices to address your specific needs. I believe in starting with people where they are and empowering them to create change in their life. If you’re ready to begin the journey of self-discovery and healing, I’d be honored to work with you.

We provide specialized trauma care. Most clinicians are bilingual and trained in EMDR.

College life can be HARD. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, new life adjustments, or struggling with the unique challenges of college life, we all need support sometimes. I believe that all people have the power within themselves to strive towards positive growth and change when provided with a safe, accepting environment. My approach to counseling focuses on facilitating a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy, genuineness, and unconditional acceptance. I see my clients as collaborative partners, and together we work towards meeting their goals. I specialize in several therapy approaches, and work hard to integrate self exploration, learning new skills and coping techniques, and creative outlets such as expressive arts therapy into the traditional talk therapy model. I have experience working with clients of all ages in a variety of settings, including in schools and private practice. I have also worked with adults in both private practice settings and at the university level at an Autism Support Program. As a person-centered therapist, I trust both in the power of the unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, and in my client’s capacity to heal and change. I meet my clients where they are and we will go on a journey towards healing together.

I am a therapist with 13 years experience who recently relocated to Maryland. I have specialized my work in the medical setting with those with chronic illnesses and have also cared for many in the LGBTQI+ community. I enjoy providing counseling to pre-teens, teens and young adults. I have had the privilege to witness the most vulnerable moments with my clients and then observe their growth, healing, and evolution. I would be honored to play a role in your journey too. The idea of therapy is challenging for some. I focus on meeting my clients at their comfort level and prioritize their personal goals and needs. I utilize evidence-based modalities: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Both of these examine the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions to help individuals make changes in their life. I also have training in: Emotional Freedom Technique, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Internal Family Systems I believe that counseling should capitalize on the client’s creativity, imagination, and interests. Therefore, I often encourage artistic expression and the use of physical movement to address depressive symptoms, anxiety, and the challenges of grief and loss. Let’s work together to tailor an approach based upon your unique strengths and areas of need. I am only self-pay at this time. I am in the process of being paneled with Carefirst/BCBS (PPO, POS, HMO and Federal plans) and Johns Hopkins Hospital EHP (However, if you have a different insurance plan and it offers out-of-network benefits, you should receive some.)

Do you feel like adulting is just too much sometimes? Especially when you're juggling finances, relationships, work, and all the things? What about feeling overwhelmed with emotions you can't name or even feeling completely disconnected mentally, emotionally, and physically? Do you find yourself doomscrolling at 3am, diagnosing with the latest TikTok symptoms or shaming yourself over LinkedIn comparisons? Maybe you're highly self-aware and have 20 books on exactly what's wrong (hello, intellectualizing!) but still feel stuck. And that family trauma they swear never happened? Yeah, it's still showing up in your life today. I get it. I'm the opposite of a blank slate therapist. One who keeps it real—not just with a "yeah...okay...mmm" and nod. Using a holistic approach, I help Gen Z and Millennials that are seeking deep healing and liberation. Together, we'll move beyond just understanding your patterns to creating real change, using evidence-based tools for your mind, body, and soul. If you want to get unstuck, break those generational cycles, and start thriving (not just surviving), I can help. Even if you don't think your challenges are "serious enough" for therapy, you deserve support too. Ready to create a life that feels aligned and authentically yours? Schedule an intake or free 15 min consultation and let's see if we're a good fit!

You might struggle with a harsh inner critic, where anything less than perfection feels like failure, causing you to question your self-worth. This can lead to persistent feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy. The definition of success you inherited may not align with your desires, creating cognitive dissonance and internal conflict. You may have a path you want to follow for your life, but fear disappointing those around you, or you may struggle to define your goals at all. You deserve a therapist who understands your story. Former software engineer turned therapist, I understand pressures of high expectations and stressful environments. As a first-generation immigrant with 8 years in IT, multiple degrees, and clinical experience, I offer a unique cultural and psychological perspective. Together, we'll move beyond perfectionism and negative self-talk to find strength and joy. Our cultures of origin are beautiful, but they have unique challenges. As a South Asian therapist, I empathize deeply with your struggles. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, and I love creating a warm and calming environment where you can be confident you will be understood and accepted.

You’ve always been the one who holds it together. The friend everyone leans on, the one who keeps the peace, even when you're falling apart inside. You’re kind, thoughtful, and always thinking about how others feel—sometimes to the point of losing sight of what you need. Maybe you grew up in a home where speaking up was risky, or you were labeled as “too much.” Now, in college or early adulthood, you feel lost - constantly second-guessing yourself, unsure who you are outside of relationships or achievements. You want to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life—but you’re not sure where to start.
