Austin Therapy and Counseling PLLC. Brave. Bold. Balanced.

About

Meet Nicole

Hi, I'm the therapist behind this practice

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor in Austin, Texas. I work with people struggling with emotional dysregulation, impulsive behaviors, and relationship chaos — often young adults with BPD who have “failed” other treatments — and with the families around them. My work draws on DBT, Radically Open DBT, Family Systems Therapy, EMDR, and SPACE.

How I work

What you can expect from me.

We set the agenda together

Some days we dig in; some days we just breathe. Both are doing the work.

Non-judgmental stance

This is a place to be fully, messily human. You get to tell me if you ever feel judged or misunderstood.

Collaborative, not prescriptive

You're the expert on your life. I bring tools and perspective; together we find what actually helps you.

Honest about fit

If someone else would serve you better, I'll say so and help you find them. Your care matters more than my calendar.

Trust & Safety

Your privacy and safety are my top priorities. All sessions are confidential and protected by HIPAA regulations and professional ethical standards. I provide a judgment-free, inclusive space where you can be yourself without fear. My practice welcomes clients of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
