Now is the Time to Get Help
Whether you have come here with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or just feeling overwhelmed, we believe that everyone has the capacity to live a better and more fulfilling life.
Perhaps you have thought about getting help for a while, or maybe you've suddenly decided to reach out. Taking the step to do something about your problems is a wise and courageous choice.
There are many reasons why people decide not to get help. Sometimes they feel they deserve to be unhappy, or maybe they wait to see if things will change on their own. But the truth is that our problems tend to get stuck on repeat or even get worse if we do nothing about them.
At the Austin Mindfulness Center we believe that there IS a solution to your problems. We want to come along side you on your path toward relief and recovery. We will listen, seek to understand, and teach you the skills that you need to find a way out of your current struggles and toward a life of fulfillment.

We Understand How Challenging Life Can Be
Each of us has been in a place where life seemed confusing and painful. This is why we have dedicated our lives to helping others through mindfulness-based therapy and education. Since 2011 we have helped over 3000 therapy clients. We’ve also worked with schools and businesses to teach their employees about mindfulness.
All of our therapists are trained in mindfulness and have also applied mindfulness in their own lives. Because we have personally experienced its effectiveness, we are dedicated to teaching you so that you can experience the same benefits.
What our clients are saying about us
The breathing technique, being gentle to myself, and learning to recognize when I am not living in the present moment, among other coping skills my therapist has been teaching me have helped me tremendously with anxiety. She is easy to talk to, gentle, and listens without judgement. I am so thankful I found her and recommend her to everyone.

After you have reached out to get matched with a therapist, and scheduled your first appointment, the initial step involves working with your therapist to better understand what might be getting in the way and causing your symptoms and concerns.
As you discover what is contributing to your problems, you will be setting goals, learning about important concepts, and applying skills in your daily life.

Talking about your problems and expressing how you feel are key ingredients for what makes therapy so helpful. But beyond these fundamental benefits that are common in all talk therapies, we incorporate the concepts and practices of Mindfulness in our work with clients.
Mindfulness is about seeing ourselves and others more clearly and learning to free our minds from harmful habits. Our mindfulness-based therapy and education give you the tools to move out of pain and self-doubt and toward what makes life worth living.
