More about Austin

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist serving individuals across Colorado, I specialize in supporting the LGBTQ+ community and those navigating complex personal challenges. My practice focuses on addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I offer a compassionate, affirming approach to helping clients explore communication challenges, social anxiety, life purpose, and healing from past traumas.

My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment for individuals dealing with isolation, body image concerns, attachment issues, and sexuality-related experiences. I have extensive experience working with men's issues, family dynamics, addiction recovery, and gender identity exploration.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I aim to help clients develop meaningful insights, build resilience, and create positive change. I approach each person's journey with deep respect, understanding, and a commitment to supporting their unique path to emotional wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
