Mindfulness Based Therapy in Austin, TX

Mindfulness-Based Therapy in Austin, TX

Life in Austin moves fast. Between the traffic, the constant pressure to keep up, and the never-ending calendar of events, it’s easy to lose track of how you’re doing.

You might appear to have it together, working, parenting, and showing up for people, but inside, you feel… off. Tense. Checked out. Burned out. Stuck in your head or overwhelmed by your emotions.

Mindfulness-based therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, without needing to meditate for hours a day or pretend to be Zen all the time.

What Is Mindfulness-Based Therapy?

Mindfulness therapy involves learning to pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, and body in the present moment, with less judgment and more curiosity. It’s not about clearing your mind or “fixing” your feelings. It’s about creating space between what you feel and how you respond.

In sessions, we might:

• Notice what happens in your body when you're anxious

• Practice grounding when you're spiraling or overstimulated

• Slow down emotional reactions so they don’t take over

• Learn how to sit with discomfort—without getting swallowed by it

• Reconnect with what you need, not just what you think you should do

Think of it like training your nervous system to feel safe, steady, and supported, even when life doesn’t slow down.

Why It Works (Especially in a Place Like Austin)

Austin is full of energy, startups, creativity, music, activism, and nonstop movement. But it’s also a place where burnout, anxiety, and emotional overload are very real.

If you’re:

• Constantly in your head

• Trying to do everything right

• Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions

• Getting stuck in the same stress cycles

• Ready for something that helps you feel present again…

What It Can Help With

Mindfulness therapy is an excellent fit if you’re dealing with:

• Anxiety and overthinking

• Burnout or emotional exhaustion

• Trauma responses or nervous system dysregulation

• Feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or shut down

• Wanting more intentionality and less reactivity in your life

What Sessions Look Like (All Online for Austin Residents)

I offer online sessions, so you can participate from the comfort of your home, office, or even your car if that’s where you feel most at ease. You don’t have to drive across town or show up perfectly pulled together. This space is for you as you are.

Evening and weekend sessions available.

Sessions might include:

• A short grounding or breath check-in

• Gentle reflection on what’s coming up for you

• Noticing body cues and nervous system signals

• Learning how to pause before reacting

• Creating small mindfulness practices that fit your life

This isn’t about being “mindful” all the time. It’s about building enough awareness to move through life with more intention and less overwhelm.

You Don’t Have to Keep Powering Through

If your body is tired, your mind won’t slow down, and your emotions feel like too much (or not enough), it might be time to try something different.

Mindfulness-based therapy can help you feel more grounded, more aware, and more like yourself again.
