Our Story: Rooted in Austin, Focused on You

Founded in the spring of 2012, Therapy Austin began with a single mission: to provide high-quality mental health services that are both affordable and accessible to our community.What started as a small, dedicated team has grown into a diverse network of over 100 skilled professionals across multiple locations in central, north, and south Austin.

To ensure our clients receive exceptional care, we engage in a highly selective hiring process, hand-picking clinicians and investing heavily in their ongoing training and professional mentoring. In 2022, we joined Direct Counseling Services LLC to expand our backend support and professional tracks. We continue to operate as Therapy Austin, staying true to our core values: offering flexible after-work hours and high-quality care that puts the client in control of their own healing journey.

“We believe recovery is possible for everyone. Through personalized care plans, we help individuals regain control of their lives.”

Our Commitment to Accessible Care

We believe therapy works best when it stays centered on the relationship between you and your counselor.

Financial Flexibility

We believe care should be within reach for everyone. By offering flexible fees and a low-cost intern program, we work to find a path that fits your life and your budget, ensuring quality support is available whenever you need it.

Total Confidentiality

We believe your story belongs to you. Our approach keeps your therapeutic journey private, giving you the freedom to focus entirely on your healing without worrying about external labels or permanent records.
