Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Cedar Park, TX

I'm Brad and I'm a therapist in North Austin who specializes in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety. My style has been described as compassionate, mindful, and relational. My primary modality is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured intervention which treats PTSD by challenging unproductive beliefs generated by the traumatic event.

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.

I’m here to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can be truly heard. I care deeply about helping people work through trauma, improve relationships, strengthen self-esteem, and build confidence. My goal is to help you grow at your own pace and give you the tools to navigate life with more ease and independence.

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 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.

After 15 years in tech marketing, I went to the University of Texas at Arlington to earn my Master's in Social Work. Upon graduation, I worked toward my clinical license at a Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program. Here, I worked with clients with severe mental health problems to find stability and gain the tools necessary to find success in life after program. This setting allowed me to work across the full spectrum of mental health issues, specifically with mood and personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, psychosis, and other high-acuity issues.

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.

I stem from a solution based theory base but am also very eclectic in my approach. I offer virtual and in- person sessions where clients are encouraged to express themselves freely without fear of rejection or judgement.

Storms of life come to us in all kinds of ways. Like an unexpected Texas hail storm pounding us with stress and shattering our lives; or a tornado of change uprooting all that was once familiar; or perhaps a seemingly small gust of difficulty which swirls our lives around until we no longer have a sense of direction. We are in uncertain times which often creates waves of doubt and amplifies our fears as we question the future. Yet in the midst of the chaos there can be a sense of calm. I’ve been honored to walk the path of healing with those struggling in addiction, trauma, grief, loss and relationship challenges. With a background in psychology as well as recreation, I use proven methods of Counseling to empower strength in discovering a sense of purpose through clearing of the mind, restoration of the body and joy in the spirit. It takes courage to change and face the storms of life. I look forward to joining you in your journey and helping you turn the tides of your storm into hope and healing.
