Integrative Psychotherapist & Relationship Counselor @ Head + Heart Integrative Psychotherapy

Are you ready to navigate the challenges of being human with greater resilience? As an integrative psychotherapist and relationship counselor, I specialize in supporting adults, couples, and groups to heal relationships on all levels. Including their relationships with stress, chronic illness/pain, family of origin issues, and trauma.

Combining research-informed practices with revolutionary brain + relationship science, I work from an integrative “head + heart” approach that incorporates mind, body, and spirit to help you increase resilience, release emotional baggage, and ignite holistic healing. Hence, the name of my practice – Head + Heart Integrative Psychotherapy. I believe that only by working from a holistic perspective can we truly experience deep healing and lasting change.

My practice of psychotherapy and counseling integrates relationship science (Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, Gottman Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Relational Life Therapy), neuroscience (Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Somatic therapy, EMDR therapy, depth psychology and parts work, and trauma-informed interventions.

I am now accepting new clients for secure online therapy for Texas residents and offer free 15 min phone consults. You can learn more about me and my practice at www.headandheart-therapy.com

Licensed Professional Counselor @ Amy Serafin Counseling, LLC

“Online psychotherapy for Texans with difficult family dynamics and histories.”

Amy Serafin Counseling is based in Austin and provides services throughout Texas.

I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor, perpetually curious about your stories and perspectives. I don’t operate with a “one size-fits all” or “cookie-cutter” approach to therapy. I’ll meet you where you are, without judgement or agenda.

As your compassionate and empathetic ally, we will explore your emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations to help you gain deeper self-awareness and insight into the relationship with yourself and others.

This work can lead to greater life balance, an ability to hold stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of worth and lovability.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, trauma sensitive, culturally sensitive (related to race, ethnicity, regional identity, religion, etc.) sex-positive, and mindful of neurodivergencies and abilities.

Counselor / Psychotherapist

I specialize in helping individuals with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, personal and spiritual growth.

As a Heart-Centered psychotherapist, I view each individual’s journey through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and acceptance.

I love helping people cultivate a deeper, kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves and helping to shift conditioning and beliefs around this being “overindulgent” and/or “selfish.”

Using an Integrative Approach, I make room for all parts of our humanness, physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. I work from an attachment-based, and trauma-informed foundation and draw on several therapeutic methods to assist with building tools and resources that are supportive, insight-oriented and focused on creating deep, lasting change. Primary therapeutic methods I draw from are:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Inner child/reparenting work
• Internal Parts work
• Neurobiology
• Mindfulness practices
• Somatic awareness
• Depth oriented therapy
• Existential inquiry
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

I consider each person’s unique life experiences, worldview and nervous system while exploring and connecting with the resilience, gifts, and truth that lie within their own body and brain. The choice to seek psychotherapy can be a journey in and of itself – it takes courage and strength to ask for support. I’m continuously awed and inspired by my client’s courage, vulnerability, and resilience. Embarking on the journey to be seen, look within, let go of the past, heal and grow, with time, opens more space within our bodies and minds to connect with our true selves and experiences of connectedness, joy, peace, clarity, ease and well being.

I work with clients throughout the state of TX and currently offer in-person and virtual sessions. You can learn more about me and my practice at JenniferPaap.com

LPC-A

Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate

I help adults & teens live fuller, more authentic lives. The complexities of life can weigh on us, affecting our energy & perspectives. Maybe you have gone through some painful or challenging experiences. A part of you is calling for something different & that brought you here now. Many issues come from low self-worth, or from losing trust in our inner voice after painful experiences. However, this wisdom is always inside us & will continue to create “symptoms” & “problems” in our life in an attempt to get our attention. Trust that feeling the desire to change a pattern is a sign you’re ready for the challenge required.

With self-compassion, we see that we did the best we could at the time. With resilience, we move out of stagnation & turn our experiences into growing opportunities. This is how we transform our pain into wisdom & strength.

Some areas of focus:

• self-worth, depression,
• reconnecting to your intuition,
• spiritual journeys,
• family of origin, identity,
• life transitions,
• empaths/intuitives/highly sensitive people,
• grief, over-thinkers who need help feeling, trauma,
• integrating psychedelics or other transformative experiences,
• “canaries in the coal mine,”
• those who feel misunderstood,
• disruptors to the status quo… & more.

My approach is heart-centered, relational & trauma-informed. I meet you where you are by combining various approaches. I primarily use Psychodynamic theory, Mindfulness, IFS/Parts work, & Attachment theory.

Most importantly, I focus on authentically connecting with you.

I’m down to earth, patient & willing to challenge you as well.

Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
@ Kristin Shanahan Therapy

Counseling, the way I see it, is a process of self-discovery and exploration which requires an open mind, patience and collaboration between the counselor and client.

My name is Kristin Shanahan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. I support people in their desire to better understand themselves, often during times of depression, anxiety and life transitions. In a safe, nurturing environment we explore and discover your patterns of behavior and how they may hinder you from living a meaningful life.

In the therapy room, people experience me as relaxed, direct, authentic, dedicated, curious and open to laughter. It is my belief that with compassion and courage, we can experience a greater sense of well-being.
