ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Austin, TX

Hi and Welcome! I'm grateful you're taking the time to explore what connecting with me may be like. I was twenty-something when life taught me strong relationships are the key to health and well-being. Neuroscience has proven this true and we now know that we are inherently wired for connection on a neurobiological level. Connection isn’t a luxury, it’s essential to our survival. Ironically, it’s connection that can also be the source of our most profound pain and suffering. No matter how deep the hurt or how great the loss, things can shift when we feel seen, heard, and understood by another. We heal in connection with others.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in the Austin area helping parents and children overcome emotional and behavioral challenges. Services are provided in-home and in the community.

I currently have in-person, walk-and-talk, and virtual availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Therapy with me is about co-creating a hearth - a therapeutic space for warmth, restoration, and growth along life’s journeys. I work with individuals and families who have experienced the effects of anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, relational trauma, and complex trauma. These effects often leave us in chaotic cycles of either burning things to the ground or feeling cold and alone. I also am passionate about working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD and Autism) who have maybe felt outcast in their search for connection. Together, we rest and reflect on whatever creating a warm home means to you.

My personal interests include:

• Songwriting, recording, and listening to any music that tells a story with lyrics or sound
• Hiking, camping, and kayaking
• Anime, manga, fantasy, sci-fi, and story writing
• Open world and JRPG video games
• Swimming, soccer, football, and sailing
• Board games and table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)
• Cooking, traveling, and brewing delicious coffee.

I give you a space to explore, feel, question, cry, scream, cuss, fall apart, and fall together. I like wrestling with whatever it is that is coming up in your heart or mind. I am open minded and care about the burdens you carry around everyday. It's hard work to grow yourself and we can work together to create and achieve your goals. I believe your story matters and holds a lot of power in shaping your life.

I received my BS in Psychology and my MS in Clinical Counseling Psychology. I have a passion for helping people gain skills to endure, overcome, ant thrive. I fell in love with all things psychology at a young age and have gained a great many life experiences that have taught me a deep level of empathy and understanding.

Hi, I'm Amber Martinez, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in psychotherapy. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, and eating disorders. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for clients throughout Texas.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four years of therapy experience as well as over 25 years of experience mentoring and supporting people living with: trauma and dissociation; disability and neurodivergence; and LGBTQIA+ identity.

I welcome EVERYONE to my practice. I hope your experience working with me is affirming, safe and empowering. I have been working in the mental health field for 20 years and specialize in trauma treatment. I utilize different therapy modalities for different people but love incorporating EMDR in my work.

I work with clients from all walks of life in navigating this chaotic world we find ourselves in. We often unintentionally rely on coping skills and beliefs about ourselves that reinforce feelings of sadness or worry rather than relieve them just to survive day to day. Through a warm, often humorous, and always open-minded person centered approach, I am here to help you examine what does and does not serve you to create or find new ways to approach life so that you can start thriving rather than surviving.

Hi! My name is Nicole. I earned my Masters in Counseling from Northwestern University, where I received training in psychodynamic theory. I have been working in the private practice setting for 7 years, primarily working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, existential crisis, and life transition.

Professionally, I have spent a decade in education (five years as a classroom teacher and five years as a school counselor). This is my third year as a therapist outside of the school setting.

For my masters degree, I attended Texas State University in San Marcos, TX (Eat 'em up cats!). At Texas State, I completed my MA in Professional Counseling with two focuses: school counseling and clinical mental health.

As a former educator, the populations I support include adolescents, young adults, educators, parents/guardians, and caretakers.
