My path to becoming a therapist grew from a deep curiosity about people and how our experiences shape how we think, feel, and connect. I was drawn to work that feels meaningful, and my own journey with mental health and questions of identity gave me a deeper appreciation for the support that helps people feel truly understood. I pursued doctoral-level training in psychology, training in community clinics, college counseling centers, and group practices across Washington, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Southern California. These experiences continue to shape my approach, which is grounded in curiosity, care, and respect for each person. I enjoy working with the immigration population and the AAPI community.

Throughout my career, I have remained deeply committed to learning and growing alongside the field pursuing, continued education and certifications.

My clients often want to know a little about the person behind this practice. I am someone who loves to travel and spends time outdoors . Camping and water adventures are always my happy place and those who know me best will tell you with a knowing grin that I have never met an animal I didn’t love

I believe wholeheartedly that it is vital for me to live a congruent life, to bring my heart and desires into a living presence My passion to live with purpose, curiosity and joy is core to who I am and this is how I show up for my clients every single day.

I'm Austin Chenoweth, an LMFT with over four years of experience helping teens and adults work through anxiety, depression, and the deeper patterns driving them. I trained at Santa Clara University and take a relational, depth-oriented approach to therapy — which means I'm less interested in managing symptoms and more focused on

understanding what's underneath them.

I see clients via telehealth throughout California, and I work with people 13 and older. I genuinely enjoy the work of therapy, and I believe the relationship we build together is the most powerful tool we have for treatment.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Jose

Finding the right therapist in San Jose starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or work-related stress, look for a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and approach before you commit to a session.

San Jose has a large number of practicing therapists, which can make narrowing your options feel overwhelming. Think about what matters most to you: a provider who offers a specific therapy type like CBT or EMDR, someone available for evening or weekend sessions, or a therapist you can see virtually from home. A free phone consultation is one of the best ways to gauge whether a provider feels like the right match.

Therapy in San Jose can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
