Jesus works with adults and specializes in relationship issues, family conflicts, anger management, bipolar disorders, domestic violence, HIV / AIDS-related worries, men's issues, and much more.

Jesus earned his Master's degree in Psychology from West Texas A&M University. His lived experience and clinical background combine to form the basis of his greatest superpowers— empathy and compassion.

Jesus teaches his clients about the link between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. That means that changes in behavior lead to changes in emotions and thoughts, and vice versa. Where would you like to begin working together?

Common approaches to Therapy for men

Starting Therapy for men in Austin

What is therapy for men?

Therapy for men maintains a focus on the emotional and mental impacts of being a man in society, dealing with issues like the pressures of toxic masculinity and the traditional familial roles of men, among others. Thriveworks Austin therapists who specialize in treating men work to create a safe space for them to emote and care for their mental well-being without fear of judgment.

How does therapy for men work?

Therapy for men has many aspects of traditional psychotherapy, but it also maintains a clear person-centered and humanistic approach. Thriveworks Austin therapists will work with men to reach their therapy goals through self-reflection and introspection—uncovering specific emotional, behavioral, and mental patterns that are having a negative effect or are inhibiting personal growth and slowly working to change them over time.

Is therapy for men conducted in person or online?

Therapy for men at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does therapy for men last?

Therapy for men can last for a few months or occur over the course of years, often continuing until the client feels that their goals are met and their desired growth has been achieved. However, it will likely last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time it takes for the therapeutic process to take effect and bring about lasting change.

Need more help deciding?

Men have a great deal of demands on their time. Work, family, friends, health; the list can go on and on. At times, the stress of daily life can be simply too much to handle. Work is not going well, there is fighting at home, and you seem to be just losing control of all the things you care about in life. Men are often expected to be strong and silent. While this can be helpful for resiliency, it can also create communication problems and a lack of coping skills. Whether the daily challenges of life are causing you to consider counseling, or you are dealing with a serious trauma or psychological issue, we are here to help.

Thriveworks counselors can help you press the pause button on life. We can help you find perspective and patience for the challenging times. We have counselors that are skilled and experienced in helping men with many different issues. Addictions, grief counseling, career counseling, life coaching, couples counseling and divorce recovery are just some of the specialties that are helpful to men. We will match you with a counselor that is well equipped to deal with your particular need and place in life.

Many counseling offices operate with long waiting lists. Thriveworks is different. We understand that it can be overwhelming to make that first phone call for help. When you call us for the first time, we have appointments available within 24 hours. We are ready to help when we are needed.

Call Thriveworks today. Let’s get to work.

My provider is approximately my age which is important for me. Being 76 I wouldn't relate to someone much younger.

Availability, knowledge and expertise. They all seem to have the ability to listen and advise. My only criticism is that counseling is not accessible to me in a period of crisis.

I feel that my clinician is truly listening and processing the things I say. I appreciate the feedback/tools I have received thus far. I do not feel any sort of judgment or misinterpretation of what I am expressing. Claire is phenomenal!

★★★★☆
It felt great to get some of the things that were stewing in my head out to someone. As women we tend to take a lot. Gay is a very nice woman. I think I may have needed someone a little younger. We had good conversations but remembering me as a person was a struggle. Maybe it's the work load. I haven't been able to vent to anyone in a long time so it felt great to do that. I think if I seek therapy in the future that I would prefer if the work load wasn't as hard on the therapist. I do feel like the therapy was a lot of things I already knew due to past experiences. It would be nice to have therapy sessions with people who can somewhat remember our past conversations. Again Gay is a great person and tried to help me to the best of her abilities. She is a great senior therapist and could help some folks that may not know the strategies for combating stress and anxiety. I do not regret reaching out

Amazing!!! I am beyond happy with the services provided by Dr. Nunez. She has been so amazing with my children and I am beyond grateful for her and ThriveWorks. I’d recommend her to anyone. She is incredibly talented and listens without judgement. If I could I’d give her a zillion stars for having the most positive, profound impact on our lives!

I needed someone who was strong, kind, listened and was action oriented who had the experience to deal with the trauma I was struck with when I experienced severe loss of a loved one in 2016. Linda was and is present, intelligent, professional, human, warm and kind and at every session she has offered me practical solutions to face my life and my day to day activities. I highly recommend her. She Is so good it is very hard to get an appointment with her but if you can get one keep it. She is fabulous and will heal your spirit and soul in a safe and loving place. I love her strength more than anything and her optimism that anyone can get to a better place and not be stuck in pain and hopelessness. She is healing my heart and I feel like I have found a person who truly cares. This is a very good place.
