Merging Traditional Therapy with Modern Approaches

We believe therapy is most beneficial when clients and therapists are comfortable with one another, aligned in the counseling goals, and can build a trusting relationship. All Counterbalance therapists value establishing a warm, non-judgmental connection with clients to help them work through challenges and achieve personal goals.

Our practice does not prescribe stimulants and narcotics.

We blend traditional, relationship-based psychotherapy with modern, evidence-based approaches such as EMDR.

This helps us create a judgment-free, safe space where clients can experience positive results with our licensed providers. Appointments are available for EMDR therapy in Austin, El Paso, and telehealth.
