Approach

What therapy looks like when insight alone has not been enough.

This is direct, practical therapy for people who want more than insight alone.

We spend time understanding what is going on, where it comes from, and why it keeps repeating.

Then we work toward changes you can notice in your actual life, not just in the room.

Location

Downtown Round Rock, Texas • Serving North Austin and surrounding communities • Telehealth across Texas

Session Rate

$200 for 50–55 minutes.

Format

Private-pay psychotherapy with one therapist from consult onward.

Consult

Start with a consult.

We talk through what is going on, what you want help with, and the practical details.

Step

Therapy

Get specific.

We look closely at what happens during the week, not only at what you understand in session.

Step

Adjustment

Keep what helps.

If something is useful, we keep it. If it is not, we do not keep pretending.

Step

Values

You should not have to argue for your own humanity before the work can begin.

  • LGBTQ+ affirming means identity is not treated as pathology or debate.
  • HAES-aligned means body size is not treated as a moral issue or a treatment target.
  • Neurodiversity-affirming means communication, pacing, and problem-solving do not have to follow one narrow standard.
  • Immigrant and cross-cultural realities are treated as real context, not side notes.

Who This Helps

This is usually a good fit when:

  • You want therapy that is direct and concrete.
  • You are dealing with perfectionism, overcontrol, religious harm, chronic over-responsibility, or the general experience of being high-achieving and privately exhausted.
  • You are tired of sounding insightful while nothing important changes.

Usually Not The First Step

  • Crisis stabilization or emergency response.
  • Insurance-based care.
  • Very open-ended therapy with little direction.

Optional Method

Some sessions, we build.

Using LEGO brick sets as a structured clinical tool, we build the problem — the pattern, the system, the belief structure — so it exists outside your head and can be worked on directly.

The bricks are not the point. The point is that some patterns — perfectionism, overcontrol, the shape of a system that harmed you — are easier to work on once they exist outside your head.
