Hello! I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor and Art Therapist here to help you navigate emotional hardships and invest in your mental health and well-being.
I have experience in working with children, adolescents, adults, groups, and couples. My techniques range from a variety of modalities including a person-centered approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy. While working alongside my clients, I provide individualized treatment for a wide range of concerns.
I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.
Something that stands out in regard to me is that I have gathered some valuable wisdom over the years from many excellent mentors and life experience as an educator, vocational ministry, raising my own family, and having worked with many gifted and compassionate people.
My clients describe me as understanding ("getting them as individuals"), caring and collaborative , and a safe place to share what they need to share.
Hi there. I am Dr. Dinkins. I have been a Licensed Psychologist for many years. I love people and hearing every person's life story.

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.
