Paige Austin

If you’re searching for a provider to assist you on your journey toward healing, I hope your search stops here. My name is Paige Austin, LCPC, and I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, codependency, ADHD, life changes, and addiction. Therapy doesn’t have to wait until things become unmanageable. But if they already have, I’m here for that too. Therapy can be a space to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, build healthier coping skills, and reconnect with yourself.

My approach is compassionate, and individualized to each client’s unique needs. I utilize Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Motivational Interviewing approaches to help clients feel seen, heard, better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, as well as, identify stuck points and strengths to nurture change.

Your first therapy session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin creating a foundation for a comfortable, collaborative therapeutic relationship. I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so my goal is to make the process feel welcoming, supportive, and free of judgment.

During your initial session, we will complete an initial clinical evaluation. This assessment helps me better understand what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, personal and family history, emotional and behavioral functioning, relationships, strengths, and the areas where you would like to see change. We will also discuss your goals for therapy and identify factors that may be contributing to your current challenges.

The initial evaluation is a conversation designed to help me understand your unique experiences and determine how I can best support you. You will have the opportunity to ask questions, share concerns about the therapy process, and discuss what you hope to gain from counseling.
