Therapists for college students near University of Texas at Austin

Navigating college life can be exciting, but it also comes with challenges—academic pressure, personal growth, relationships, and emotional struggles. At Renewed Hope Counseling & Wellness, PLLC, I specialize in helping college students manage anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship issues, and narcissistic abuse. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming stress, healing from past trauma, or seeking clarity in relationships, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences and develop effective coping strategies. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and empowerment-based counseling, I help students build resilience, regain confidence, and create meaningful change. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone—I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Everyone tells you that college is the best time in your life and to enjoy it because it flies by. But what people don’t tell you is all the challenges that it can bring. Maybe it’s the first time you are away from your family and friends from home. It can also bring many challenges with pressure to drink or use drugs, navigating friendships and dating in a more complicated way, and figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life. You might be in a position where in order to afford school you need to work on top of doing well in all your classes. I know personally how challenging, yet exciting, this time can be, and I am here to tell you that you don’t need to figure it all out on your own or even right now. Are you ready to enjoy your college experience, be fully present in the great moments without feeling stresses weighing you down everyday? It’s time to feel a sense of relief, confidence in who you are, and in your decisions. Together, we can make your life feel lighter and free up space for everything else you have going on! My Approach: I am a strong believer in the power of relationships. Having someone to talk to can increase our sense of happiness and positivity, and most importantly let us know that we are not alone. Life has many ups and downs, but it's what you do with them that matters. I am here to help you transform the tough moments into growth. Therapy with me looks like an open dialogue, where we both respect each other's point of view and collaborate to find solutions that help you overcome what’s been holding you back. We can talk about anything, no matter how hard it is to share. Whether it’s the good things or the bad, I am ready to hold space for even the strongest emotions that come up, because I know we can work through it together. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy that not only looks at your thoughts and feelings, but also how your environment, your cultural experiences, close relationships, and health, affect your mental wellbeing. We’ll use a variety of therapeutic techniques to best fit what you need, because therapy is not a one size fits all approach. We’ll make sure that those techniques are really working for you. It might be practicing mindfulness or trying out different coping skills to help things feel less overwhelming. Our approach will continue to grow as our therapeutic relationship develops. I know that therapy is not always easy, but I am here to support you each step of the way and I will always accept you for how you are in that moment, even the hard ones. A Little About Me: I went into undergrad undecided and had a hard time knowing what I wanted to do. I knew that I wanted to do something to help people and I wanted a career that I would enjoy. I always felt behind in some way because I didn’t know what I wanted to do right away. I have learned that a lot of people have a unique path to get to where they are. I worked as a school social worker for 8 years before private practice and that is when I really knew I loved counseling and wanted to continue on this path. I have lived in the Chicago area for most of my life and love the city! You can find me by the lake or exploring all the city has to offer. My hobbies are all over the place and include a mixture of baking, triathlons, knitting, going on long walks and finding the best matcha. I also love traveling (but hate flying) and have an ever growing list of places I want to visit.

I like to work with young people, students and adults who want to make a change to the way they interact with and think about the world. Imagine your best life...every day! Learn how to be confident, calm and focused. Expert cognitive behavioral therapy presented in a collaborative way to help you develop and achieve your goals. We will work together to banish anxiety, fear, depression and relationship issues. ​

Are you the firstborn? Frustrated from juggling the demands of caregiving in your family? Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, struggling with sleep, or battling persistent fatigue that seems to linger no matter how much rest you get? If you're experiencing mood swings, social withdrawal, or neglecting your own needs while prioritizing everyone else's, it may be time to seek support. **Please note, I am not seeing clients with unmanaged personality disorders at this time** Professionally, I am currently a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern. I offer therapies that do not require much talking. I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist, I am EMDR-trained, and offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Personally, I'm a nerdy, cat loving, Emptynester and Navy Veteran from Brooklyn, NYC.

I look forward to working with people who are ready to make changes in their lives and engage in the therapeutic process. Much of my sessions include discussing goal setting and thinking of various tools and techniques to achieve those goals. I utilize CBT methods, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches to help all clients realize their ability for change and understand they can achieve happiness and alleviate things like anxiety and depression.

I’m glad you’re here. Here...a space where you don’t have to hold everything alone. I believe healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and understood — not judged or rushed. I walk alongside you at your pace, helping you make sense of what is challenging you and reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know how to move forward. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to offer a reliable presence you can count on. You deserve a place where your experience is honored and your growth is possible. I’m here to help you build that foundation

Mental health is defined as the ability to love, and the ability to work; to be able to have stable and emotionally fulfilling relationships with others, to take care of your daily needs, and to be able to enjoy using your time creatively and productively. As a counselor, I aim to join with my clients and help them identify their troubles, explore their origins, and create unique solutions to help them live the life they hope for. While my work is very relational and focuses more on meeting the unique needs of individuals, I use specific techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I have seven years experience working with young adults, especially neurodivergent young adults on the autism spectrum or with ADHD or learning differences. I particularly enjoy vocational counseling and helping clients navigate life transitions. Many of my clients have complicated diagnositic histories and may have struggled to connect with other counselors in the past. I accept insurance through Headway and also accept private pay through card, cash, check, or Zelle. Please feel free to ask me about sliding scale.

Hello! My name Dr. Bryce Kamron Davis, Ph.D., I am a postdoctoral resident in Psychology. I’m deeply passionate about helping people navigate their mental health journey and move in a direction that supports their goals! When working with me you can expect someone who is laid back, engaged, and authentic. During our sessions we will explore connections, patterns, and experiences that have guided you to therapy, while also gaining skills, a deeper connection to self, and healing. I have the most experience with treating depression, anxiety, daily stress, academic stress, burnout, relational difficulties (friends, families, partners), social isolation, ADHD, identity exploration, and identify based stress and trauma (e.g. racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.). I have the most experience working with individuals who are LGBTQ+, People of Color, and/or neurodivergent. I also provide psychological evaluations for learning disorders, ADHD, and readiness for gender affirming medical interventions. If you’re curious about what therapeutic modalities inform our work together, I integrate theory and practice primarily from Person-Center Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while also pulling in tools and resources from Emotion Focused Therapy, Interpersonal/Relational Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Coherence Therapy. A little bit about myself outside of the therapy office, I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I have lived in Houston, Texas since August 2025, following the completion of my doctoral internship in Reno, Nevada. In my free time I enjoy traveling, museums, comedy shows, Pokemon, anime, movies, art exhibits, and rest/relaxation. When I’m not doing any of those things, you will likely find me doing community service with my fraternity around Houston! I earned by Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Saint Louis University in Saint Louis, Missouri. During my doctoral internship at the University of Nevada – Reno I completed emphases in multicultural counseling and community engagement, and theoretical applications of DBT to general mental health populations.

I work with women of all ages struggling with life transitions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, attachment issues, and codependency. In the therapy world, a big focus is often on the client learning to trust the therapist and building a strong therapeutic relationship. While I agree this is an essential catalyst for growth, I also believe it is equally important for the client to learn to trust themselves. I focus on empowering my clients to understand how their past experiences have impacted their current relationships, with self and others, and how they can change these patterns. I am a trained EMDR therapist and I utilize this evidence-based treatment to help my clients heal from emotional distress caused by trauma and adverse life experiences. I also specialize in Client Centered Therapy, Attachment Therapy, The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My clients and I collaborate on which approach is best for them and their goals. This work includes examining past experiences to make sense of current maladaptive patterns, practicing mindfulness, learning new skills, and examining client values and goals for future relationships. My goal is for my clients to feel empowered and able to view themselves with self-compassion and trust they have the capacity for change.

I do trauma therapy using multiple techniques but emphasizing EMDR, the most powerful and effective treatment for trauma. Life is tough, but it is tougher when you are burdened with emotional triggers from past trauma. I love working with gen Z; you are young and EMDR is remarkably effective in treating trauma symptoms in younger brains. It is a joy to see you freed from the burden of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and difficulties with emotion regulation. Please check out my website below for further information on EMDR.

At Taylor’s Touch of Clarity, we work best with college students who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or uncertain—even if everything looks “fine” on the outside. Many of the students we support are balancing classes, work, family expectations, relationships, and the pressure to figure out their future, all at the same time. You may be experiencing constant stress, anxiety that makes it hard to focus, low confidence, or feeling stuck in your own head. Some students come to us feeling burned out, disconnected, or unsure of who they are becoming. Others are navigating depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, or major life transitions. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and support is available. Our practice is built on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where students can openly talk about what they’re going through without feeling rushed, labeled, or misunderstood. We focus on meeting you where you are and tailoring care to your individual needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. At Taylor’s Touch of Clarity, counseling is a collaborative process. We believe progress happens best when clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their growth. Our clinicians work alongside students to build practical coping skills, increase emotional awareness, and strengthen confidence in both academic and personal areas of life. Using a client-centered and strengths-based approach, we help students identify their values, recognize their strengths, and develop tools to manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and relationship concerns. Our goal is not just to help you get through college, but to support you in building skills and self-understanding that will serve you well beyond it.
