LCSW, Psychotherapist @ Flourish! Psychotherapy + Nutrition

I am so excited to be practicing mindfulness and self-compassion based therapy at Flourish! after taking a few years off to be with my family. I particularly enjoy working with women, adolescents, and new parents and utilizing attachment theory, self-compassion and mindfulness based interventions for symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and attention issues. I also love facilitating the Mindfulness Skill Development group classes at Flourish! to help clients cultivate mindful awareness and assisting them in learning how to meditate and develop coping mechanisms. and tools for our stressful modern world.

My educational background includes a MSW University of Texas at Austin and a BA in Latin American Studies and Spanish from UNC-Chapel Hill. Also, I have been studying Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), insight oriented meditation, self compassion, yoga and various forms of expressive/movement based therapies for both personal and professional development during the past 12 years. Mindfulness, self-compassion, and meditation have changed my life, and I am humbled and honored to share these skills with Flourish! clients.

My work focuses on walking alongside adult survivors of childhood abuse, domestic/sexual violence, and couples/families experiencing conflictual relationships.

I’m not scared of what you’re experiencing and I’ll be there to gently encourage the innate desire to heal that brought you to this work. We are walking the resilient path and I believe in your ability to change and heal. It’s vital that you are the author of your own healing.

I am not here fix nor judge you. I am here to create and hold space for you. I am here to assist you in connecting with yourself, releasing what you no longer want to carry, and tapping into your innate capacity to heal and change your life.

Psychiatrist @ Integrative Psychiatry-Austin

Integrative and Holistic Child, Adolescent and Adult Psychiatry

Dr. Qazi Javed is a double board certified integrative medicine physician practicing Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

His practice seamlessly blends conventional psychiatric care with other evidence-based treatment models, including psychotherapy, orthomolecular medicine, nutrition, functional medicine, herbalism, and mind-body approaches.

Dr. Javed believes in the value of connections in creating and enhancing overall well-being. As human beings we have connections both with ourselves and with the world outside of us. Disharmony in any of these connections causes suffering, whereas harmony results in joy.

Attempting to understand this can lead us towards healing.
