Individual Therapy Austin to Help You Break Old Patterns and Move Forward
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by past experiences can make daily life challenging. Individual therapy in Austin provides a safe space where you can explore your emotions, make sense of patterns in relationships and life, and develop healthier ways of managing life and relationships. Melissa Haney, LCSW, is where healing begins, and lasting growth can happen.
Compassionate and Evidence-Based Care
Our approach helps you recognize how past experiences shape your relationships and choices so you can move beyond fear, people-pleasing, and trust struggles with greater clarity.
Body-Aware and Personalized Approaches
Therapy combines somatic and trauma-informed methods with conversation to release emotional tension, calm your nervous system, and help you feel more grounded.
Therapy at Your Own Pace
Sessions are guided by your comfort and readiness, allowing change to unfold in a steady, supportive way that feels sustainable over time.
Begin Your Journey with Individual Therapy Austin
Therapy offers a supportive space where you can explore painful memories, identify emotional triggers, and devise practical coping mechanisms. Together we'll learn how to respond to stressors more effectively while managing anxiety levels more effectively, creating healthier relationships, and building stronger foundations for future growth. You don't have to go through this journey alone!
Why Individual Therapy Makes a Real Differencey
Individual therapy provides you with a space to focus exclusively on yourself for once. We explore what keeps happening with your thoughts, emotions, and relationships that keep repeating themselves and why these patterns occurred in the first place.
Sessions don't aim to change you; rather, they aim to help you feel more centered, clear, and secure in how you approach life. Over time, sessions help develop practical tools, emotional steadiness, and trustworthiness within yourself so change feels natural and long-lasting.

I suggest you check in with your insurance about coverage for therapy. Try asking the following questions:
Do I have coverage for therapy services?
Does my insurance cover out-of-network therapist providers? If so, at what rate (ask specifically about rates for an LCSW provider)?
Do I have an annual deductible? If so, how much of that have I met?
You may also be able to use funds in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for psychotherapy. Check with your company’s HR department about starting or using an FSA.
