Austin Therapists specializing in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Eden Stone

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being smart, determined and kind, life is hard. When they first come in, they experience thoughts and emotions as too intense. They have trouble relaxing and feel like anxiety has taken over their life. Before therapy, they put a lot of pressure on themselves and felt guilt and shame for struggling. ‘Other people seem to have it all together, why can’t they?’ Like my clients, you deserve to find peace and fulfillment in life. I'd love to help you get there.

I help people who are struggling to develop a strong sense of self worth. I often work with people exploring identity and self esteem Who are experiencing symptoms like high anxiety, depression, difficulty coping with stress, and intrusive negative thoughts. Some therapists focus only on the symptoms which can feel incomplete. I listen deeply to hear what’s going on underneath. I help you process the old stories and beliefs held deep within that are cutting you off from your true self.

Elizabeth Birdwell

My clients all have different backgrounds and goals but they found me because they wanted a therapist who would challenge them. Areas of interest and experience for me include, but are not limited to trauma stemming from: abuse, family of origin, relationships with people who have personality disorder, and grief (particularly after suicide loss); addiction, depression, anxiety, and spiritual growth.

Historically, women have been valued primarily for being a certain size. Body Acceptance is gaining traction more and more, but many women still obsess about changing how they look. My body image groups provide support for women who can't seem to feel okay with themselves.

We all have an inner critical voice that can overwhelm our experiences and sabotage our relationship with ourselves and others. My clients learn to identify and relate differently to this inner voice, creating a shift in how they treat themselves. They are then able to engage in a process of investigating different parts of themselves and lead their lives with more inner freedom, self compassion, and open heartedness.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Just Imagine… Looking in the mirror and loving the reflection you see. Choosing the foods you truly desire without fear, guilt or shame. Being excited to put on your new bathing suit. Never, ever feeling uncomfortably hungry or overstuffed again. It may be difficult to imagine finding this kind of freedom from food and body image issues, yet with the help of a trained professional you can learn to transform your thoughts and behaviors to make peace with food and love your body.

You have been wondering if maybe you are neurodivergent but don’t know where to start exploring your beautiful neurodiversity. You have recently become a parent and realize you are having a hard time with the sensory aspects of parenthood. You are a new college student and realize that you have been masking, or hiding your authentic self, due to societal expectations.

Feeling trapped in a cycle where each day blurs into the next, and the future seems as bleak as the past? Even with the support of loved ones, you might still find yourself feeling unseen and alone. In these moments, days lose their meaning, frustration mounts, and the thought of pushing away those you care about becomes all too common. When the idea of "If I can't bear to see my pain, who else would want to?" creeps in, it might be time to reach out. I am ready to join you, when you are ready.

Are the teenage years bumpier than you thought? Maybe your mind is loud with worries and you can't seem to feel rested; no matter how much sleep you're getting. You’re really feeling the pressure.

Breanne Hull

I work with clients who are feeling lost and stuck in situations that aren't serving them. I often see clients who are plagued by limiting beliefs that keep them feeling like they aren't enough. Or, they might be feeling frustrated by self-harming behaviors that they just can't stop. I specialize in clients who are nervous about going to therapy and feel worried that they won't know what to say or that they will "do it wrong." Don't worry - you can't do it wrong!

Jackie Rodriguez

Existence is an intense struggle in a manmade world of suffering. Dissociative experiences and feeling unhuman is a response we can care for. Maybe you've gone through a profound trauma, such as psychosis or assault, and are looking for some way to pick up what feels like broken pieces. The goals my clients aim to achieve include fostering community and feeling connected to the liberation of all peoples, and sometimes it's just making it to the next day.

Andrea Rose

My clients are those that want to better themselves in some way, but are not quite sure what they want or how to get there. I love working with those that are making major life transitions, such as going to college, getting a new job, moving to a new location, changing a relationship status, etc. Sometimes when we feel stuck in a particular position, our potential gets stuck with us. I love working with eager folks that are ready to start confronting their anxieties in life.

Deann Acton

I have noticed that often times creative, sensitive, intelligent people will have very unique problems in this world. They will carry around more anxiety from overthinking. They can become easily distracted and bored when they are not stimulated. And sometimes, intense emotional reactions can cycle into feelings of depression that can be difficult to navigate. I use creative interventions and positive coping strategies to help individuals find ways to be the best version of themselves.
