I believe everyone has the capacity to heal. My own therapy helped me to trust in myself and others and I strive to build this trust with you.
My communication style is warm and direct as I first hear your story and then help you slow down. Together we’ll work to understand your emotions. Joy, anger, sadness and fear are messages to inform your life and how you want to be living. Therapy can help you decipher these feelings and get unstuck.
Before starting my private practice, I worked for several years as a middle and elementary school social worker. I hold a Masters degree in Social Work from Texas State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Texas A&M University. I continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow so that I can provide the best service to you.
I am a mother of two, native Austinite, and coffee aficionado (read addict). I love walking my dogs and speaking Spanish as often as I can.
Hi there! I'm Rachel Larreta, an individual, couples and family therapist in Austin, Texas. I help my clients deal with anxiety, stress, depression, and all the twists and turns that show up in life. I focus on connection, communication and self acceptance to help my clients feel empowered and less alone.
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 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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Austin
Finding a postpartum therapist in Austin starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common concerns, but perinatal mental health care also covers mood changes during pregnancy, difficulty bonding, intrusive thoughts, and adjustment to parenthood. A licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — with experience in perinatal mental health can help you determine the right approach, whether that includes talk therapy, medication management, or both.
Austin has a strong network of postpartum mental health providers practicing across the city, from North Austin and Cedar Park to South Austin and the surrounding metro area. When narrowing your options, consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, what therapy approach feels right for you, and whether a provider's availability fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and areas of focus.
Therapy in Austin can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
