My hope is that you will allow me to be a nonjudgmental and safe person that provides space where you feel free to share and work through whatever brings you to me. I have a down to earth personality. Along with my collaborative and empathic approach to therapy, I also bring a calm presence. I’m a firm believer that you cannot heal from what you do not first deal with, so I will hold space for you to do it.

I work with individuals, couples, and families (whether by blood or chosen). I don’t subscribe to one particular theory or way that therapy should “work”. I’m eclectic in my approach and believe in a strengths perspective. Focusing on how you have done things well, what you are proud of, and how you have made it thus far in your life is as important, if not more so, then what you feel may be wrong at this point. I strive to help people feel better, more connected, and more in tune with themselves and those around them.

I am caring, skilled, and experienced in working with individuals, providing couples therapy and family therapy for those who are in both traditional and non-traditional relationships. Most of us have struggled with dating, relationships and communication at some point. Few of us are formally taught how to create rewarding relationships in which we may lovingly and effectively communicate our preferences and have our desires met. Whether you are gay or straight and are dating, engaged or married, you and your partner may be facing various problems for which there are solutions. My work with individuals, couples and families aims to alleviate distressing symptoms, enhance relationships and encourage self-awareness and growth. If your relationship is suffering, it may be one of the many that can be saved with the proper guidance. If your conflicts cannot be reconciled, therapy can assist you in leaving the relationship on good terms, allowing you both to proceed with healthier and more confident outlooks. - Does Facetime and telephone consultations.

I am an Energy Psychologist. I have studied western psychology and spiritual practices from around the world. I have taken the best of the best of what I have learned and created Ascension Psychology. The focus is usually on healing subconscious conflict from past life, ancestral patterns and childhood trauma. Attachment patterns are usually the first trauma and can create anxiety, depression, low self esteem and other relationship, mental, and emotional issues. I help people remove, resolve and heal the stuff that is not theirs and identify who they truly are and help them live authentically as themselves. In the process of doing this, people feel a whole lot better!

I work with adults aged 18 and above, all religions, gender, sexual orientation, etc. My main focus is on spiritual seekers and people that want to know the truth of who they are and the world around them. I have a special interest in the mind/body connection and healing the emotional, mental, and spiritual causes of physical disease so the body can heal itself.

As a counselor, I work with my clients to help facilitate growth, change, and healing. I believe that everyone has the ability to live a happy and meaningful life and to achieve emotional wellness. As each client is unique, I use a variety of skills and techniques to meet my clients’ needs in the way that feels comfortable and empowering for them. My theoretical orientation draws largely from acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness approaches, DBT, interpersonal neurobiology, and experiential models.

I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. Areas of specialty include trauma, relationship challenges, personal growth, poly and kink dynamics, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and depression.

Through talk therapy, I seek to help clients build healthier, happier relationships with their loved ones and themselves. Even in the most difficult situations, there are moments where that difficulty lessens. My clients and I explore what it would take to make those moments more frequent. Specializing in sex therapy, my style is solution focused, strength based, and systemic. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. Evening and Sunday appointments are available. Insurance is not accepted, but receipts will be provided for potential reimbursement.

My treatment approach is integrative and holistic, and centering the client’s treatment needs is my number one priority. I am mainly a psychodynamic, interpersonal, and attachment oriented therapist, but like to intersperse behavioral techniques as needed. As a sex-educator, I approach all my clients from a sex-positive, trauma-informed perspective.

My top priority as a clinician is working at the intersection of sexual and mental health. From my background as a sex educator, I am never one to shy away from uncomfortable and taboo topics. It is important to me to provide LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamous, and sex work affirming care to my diverse caseload. Furthermore, as a social worker dedicated to the mission of social justice with a background in implicit bias research, providing accessible, culturally-humble care from an anti-oppressive framework is imperative to my clinical practice. I only speak English and I work with teens and adults.

I provide individual and couples counseling in a judgement free atmosphere. Please see website for more information. I offer some night and weekend appointments. I accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna and private pay.

Laurin is a lifelong Texan who has never fit many of the stereotypes associated with being a Texan. She believes authenticity to be the most important trait a person can bring into a counseling relationship. She views all clients from a humanistic, trauma-informed, and holistic perspective that allows her to truly see the client as they are. She is passionate about recovery from religious and sexual trauma, grief and loss, non-monogamy, and providing a brave space for clients to explore their personhood. She graduated with her Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas State University. Prior to that, she graduated from Austin Community College with a Business Administration AS and University of Houston with a Psychology BS.

She is currently working toward her Sex Therapist certification through Sexual Health Alliance. She has also attended conferences covering such topics as problem sexual behavior, keeping the spark in long-term relationships, grief counseling, and various antiracist and social justice topics. Laurin lives in Austin with her partner and daughter. She likes to enjoy the outdoors (weather permitting) and reading. Through therapy, we can work to become our own relationship role models.

The relationship between client and therapist is the key to transformative change, and finding a clinician who is the right “fit” for you is an important part of your therapeutic process. I believe that you are the expert on your life and your healing, and my role is to join you on your path to living well by offering compassion, insight, and guidance to facilitate growth. I strive to create a space that is collaborative and inquisitive, exploring your intersecting identities and the experiences, patterns, strengths, and struggles.

My work is informed by anti-racist and anti-oppressive ideologies, psychodynamic theory (particularly relational and attachment perspectives), and I incorporate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and a social justice lens into therapy. I welcome and affirm members of the LGBTQIA+ communities and erotically-marginalized clients. I actively support all of my clients in building healthy relationships and particularly create space in my clinical practice for consensually nonmonogamous clients.

I work with individual adult (18+) clients and my sessions are held in English. I am offering in-person and telehealth sessions at this time.
