Counseling Associates

HistoryI established my current solo practice in 2004. For the previous ten years, I had been a psychologist (and in the last two years, the Clinical Director) with a multidisciplinary group, Integrated Mental Health Services (IMHS) with several clinics around the Austin Metropolitan area. When IMHS changed from providing direct services to patients to facilitating the management of care, I took the opportunity to open a private practice of psychology. Sometimes I miss the sense of belonging that comes from participating in a large organization and the challenges of creating a shared vision and implementation. But I am truly fortunate to found work that I love.SpecialtiesAs a licensed evidenced-based psychologist, I strive to integrate solid behavioral science with clinical expertise & respect for the diverse unique values, cultures & preferences of my patients. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults & families, evaluations (ADHD assessments), cognitive behavioral (CBT) & solution-focused brief therapy. I help my patients try new behaviors to complement their existing wisdom & strengths. We all face challenges for which cultivating acceptance, optimism, mindfulness & gratitude can help.When challenged by anxiety, depression or mood disorders (bipolar) there are practices known to help restore and sustain an effective satisfying life. Regarding Yelp & the Ethics of Psychologists: I never ask patients for testimonials. I will never respond to a review. To do so would be a violation of American Psychological Association's Ethics Code. I encourage anyone to bring any concerns directly to me or, to write. I am committed to listening with an open heart and gratitude for the chance to learn. If you post, use a pseudonym and do not link it to your phone number nor include a photo. It's wise to be cautious when talking about personal matters on the internet where information can archived forever. Formal complaints can always be made at the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists which is where you can also look up any previous complaints about any psychologist.
