Life isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your therapy shouldn’t be, either.
At Ignite Therapy of Austin, I use a personalized, holistic approach to counseling to spark change. I’ll learn your unique story, collaborate with you to develop interventions, and guide you in taking meaningful steps toward lasting change.
The Ignite Method
“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” -Sun Tzu
Just like there are many ways to light a fire, there are many ways to spark change. Depending on your unique goals and situation, I’ll tailor the therapeutic process to target a combination of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Along the way, I’ll check in on what’s working, measure progress toward your goals, and adjust my interventions as needed until change has been ignited. The Ignite Method places a special emphasis on using action to drive change.
Experience the full range of emotions, learn coping strategies, and process difficult feelings in a supportive environment.
Challenge limiting beliefs, practice new ways of thinking, and expand the way you view yourself and your relationships.
Turn insight into action. Build new habits and strategies, strengthen relationships and communication, and ignite lasting change.
