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

Alli supports her clients in creating their unique “Lifestyle Ecosystem”. This signature process takes the confusion out of optimizing mental, nutritional and physical health, while loving life and having fun.

As a coach, mentor, speaker and the Business Director at Illumma, Austin’s Premier Ketamine Infusion Clinic, her mission is to be a lifeline of empowerment. She stands for radical honesty and self love, and believes that “only when we heal ourselves can we heal the world”

In my practice I blend science & spirituality to help garner the healing & growth every body, mind & spirit are purely capable of.

Working with me can feel like being with a gentle, dedicated & compassionate friend. Sometimes I’ll resemble a mirror so you can experience a clear reflection of your truth. I will literally travel with you to the heart of the matter & assist as you connect with whatever is necessary for you.

We will invite the participation of your core self (the good, the bad & the ugly) to be seen, nourished & understood — & to help you do life & relationships on your own wild & beautiful terms.

More on Drama Therapy

Drama therapy is the intentional use of theatrical and dramatic techniques to reach therapeutic goals.

It can take many forms depending on individual and group needs, skill and ability levels, interests, and therapeutic goals. It may include improvisation, drama games, storytelling, metaphor, enactment or role play, movement and gesture, performance, or ritual.

Drama therapists may also incorporate elements of visual art, music, poetry, or dance. Drama therapy is influenced by drama, theatre, psychology, anthropology, play, and other creative processes. Drama therapy is not psychotherapy.

Clinical Coordinator @ Integrative Psychiatry Austin

Wellness, Mindfulness, Mentoring

I am a Certified Health Education Specialist® with an intuitive nature and energetic spirit. With a combined 15 years of wellness experience and 30 years of administrative experience, I am excited to join Integrative Psychiatry Austin.

My personal wellness journey began over 10 years ago with a dramatic weight loss that required serious lifestyle changes, which enables me to live a healthier life. My focus is assisting patients in making lifestyle changes and shifts in perception in order to serve their mental health goals.

Hello everyone, my name is Nicole Williams and I am so excited to be part of the Austin Wellness Collaborative! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years’ experience in counseling and over 20 years’ experience in working with children, teens and families as an educator, school counselor, Social Emotional Learning teacher, trainer and consultant.

In my practice I specialize in supporting individuals (children, teens, adults) and families with anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and chronic illness. Being a chronic illness warrior myself, I understand the many different challenges that one faces with a chronic condition or diagnosis. I am passionate about helping others integrate a life of joy and connection while managing an illness., with care, wisdom, humor, and just a little bit of rebellion. There is so much power in being heard, seen, understood and believed, for both the individual and their loved ones who are also impacted.

When working with clients I believe in a whole-body approach, meaning looking at how to help them understand their nervous system, and practicing tools such as TF-CBT, Guided Imagery, Meditation, Trauma-Informed Yoga, and EFT (Tapping) to help regulate their system. I also use traditional talk therapy along with Psychodrama, and CBT relational care to help support healing and change.

When I am not at my practice I love to be out in nature; hiking, camping, paddle boarding, you name it, if it is outside, then I am there! I am also a foster fur mommy to rescue pit bulls (pibbles as we call them if they are puppies). If I had a bigger house, I would fail at fostering more often than finding a home for them, I can be a complete pushover with sad puppy eyes!

When my house is empty of furry fosters I love to travel, especially volunteer travel. My favorite volunteer trip was to Borneo where I worked with an orangutan rehabilitation and release center by day and taught the children in the village at night.

While I know the challenges of living with a life altering illness, I also know the profound joy of integrating things that you love in new ways to a life after the diagnosis. I would love to help others who are facing this same challenge.
