Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
We get stuck in negative cycles with our partners, repeating the same thing over and over. I help recognize the underlying dynamic, recognize what is triggered in each, and learn to relate in a different way. Each session is an profound experience of emotional connection as we work through hurt.

Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
This is a secondary specialization of mine. Relationship stress is common in those dealing with primary mental health concerns. My specialty here is in the facilitation of communication, teaching communication tools, increasing insight on when the present emotions are too high and what to do about that. I also help my clients who have partners with mental health concern themselves and how to best communicate how those issues may impact them and the partnership as a whole.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
NOTE: I do not accept insurance for couples counseling. Relationships can bring both joy and challenges, and patterns often develop that create conflict or disconnection. I help individuals and couples explore the underlying dynamics, emotions, and parts of themselves that show up in relationships. Together, we work to improve communication, build trust, and create deeper connections and understanding.

Every couple faces challenges that can create distance instead of closeness, turning conversations into conflicts. I see the struggles behind silent dinners and unresolved disputes that linger like unwelcome guests. My couples therapy provides a bridge back to each other, offering tools for communication, understanding, and renewed connection in your relationship.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Disconnection, tension, and repeated arguments can leave you wondering if real change is possible. You may long to feel heard by your partner without conversations turning into conflict. As an experienced couples therapist, I create a safe, supportive space where both of you can express yourselves, learn to communicate more effectively, and begin to rebuild trust and connection. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic principles, I help couples explore underlying emotional patterns and create lasting, meaningful change in their relationship.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 43 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide substantial mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
