Somatic Trauma-Informed Therapist

Are you struggling with trauma triggers, anxiety, shame, low mood, difficulty managing emotions, life transitions or unresolved challenges? Whether you’re dealing with past trauma or present-day stressors, I’ll work with you to find solutions that are tailored to your unique needs and circumstances.

I am located in Austin, TX though I work via telehealth with clients located anywhere in Texas, Michigan, or Indiana.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I’ll work closely with you to help you achieve your goals, reduce suffering, and increase life’s meaning and joy.

Many of my clients present with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I additionally specialize in working with folx who have experienced sexual abuse, and violence and harm in the commercial sex industry or trafficking. As a trauma-informed and relational therapist, I hold a deep understanding of the impact of past traumas on the present. I recognize that what works for one client may not work for another. I collaborate with clients to create an individualized therapeutic process while also incorporating evidence-based techniques like CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness.

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

Reiki Master and Meditation Guide @ Katie Pitcher Reiki

Reiki is something that can calm anxieties and relieve the stress of everyday life. As for emotional healing, Reiki can help with that, too. Emotions may arise as past traumas are released, but Katie will be there supporting you. Reiki is also known to help with physical pain.

Somatic Healing

Somatic Experiencing helps process trauma through bodily awareness rather than focusing solely on the traumatic narrative. This approach uses the body as a guide to identify and release trauma held physically, leading to a more regulated nervous system and increased resilience.

STILL Yoga – Yoga for Recovery

STILL Yoga addresses addiction in all forms—substances, behaviors, and even seemingly positive habits like overworking. This recovery program combines tools from The 12 Step Program, Ayurveda, Yoga, and Meditation to help clients reconnect with their inner resources.
