About
After years in healthcare and a career change of my own, I understand that life doesn’t always come with a clear plan. I bring a practical, curious approach to therapy and believe you don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
I'm Rob Evans, and I work with teens and adults who are anxious, grieving, or figuring out what comes next. Health concerns often come into the picture. Stress, physical health, and mood are all connected, and all of them have a place in our work together. Before counseling, I was a respiratory therapist. I spent years working with people through illness, stress, and uncertainty. I later made a career change of my own, so I understand what it's like to step into something new without having all the answers. Sessions with me are practical and direct. You don't need a polished story to begin.
I use CBT most often because it gives us something concrete to work with: we look at the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck, and you leave each session with something to try before the next one. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Shaunté Collins, LPC-S, with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas.
We can start wherever you are. If something has been weighing on you and you're ready to take a closer look, reach out and we'll see if we're a fit.

As a mixed-race, seven-year married, retired Army Veteran, with a blended family I have been honored with life experience that translates on multiple levels. Hello, I'm Amber, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I believe that counseling is a collaborative therapeutic partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. I view each client as an expert on their own life, while my role is to provide guidance, clinical expertise, and support as we work together toward meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I strive to help individuals develop the insight, skills, and confidence needed to overcome anything. The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We will review confidentiality, discuss your concerns, explore what has brought you to counseling, and identify your goals for treatment. Together, we will develop an individualized plan that reflects your values, strengths, and desires Working with adolescents, families, couples, veterans, and active-duty military has provided me with extensive experience treating trauma and trauma-related concerns, as well as anxiety, depression, crisis intervention, and adjustment difficulties.
I'm a licensed professional counselor associate (LPC associate) and a graduate of Texas A&M University–Central Texas. My experience spans a continuum of care, from inpatient treatment to intensive outpatient and outpatient settings, including a year-long internship at an inpatient hospital. I have also facilitated violence prevention groups and worked with court-mandated individuals. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While I do not currently specialize in one specific area, I'm committed to continually expanding my knowledge across a broad range of mental health concerns and client populations.
My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that you have the power and the reins in your own life. I see my role as a sounding board, guide, and supportive partner. Stress management is an important part of my approach. I also believe counseling should consider the whole person—work, relationships, children, and pets all influence wellbeing.
I recognize choosing to begin counseling is a meaningful decision, and I don't take the time you share with me for granted. One of the quotes I've carried with me is, "Be the leader you wish you had." That idea reflects how I strive to show up—with honesty, compassion, respect, and genuine care. If you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen and where we can be real about what’s happening while building practical tools to create meaningful change in your life.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist with experience supporting adults and teens navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, self-esteem, and feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I often work with clients who appear capable and successful on the outside but are struggling internally or repeating patterns they’re ready to change. My clients are often seeking greater clarity, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can move forward with confidence and intention.
I take a direct, supportive, and collaborative approach to therapy, combining evidence-based strategies with honest conversation and practical tools you can use outside of sessions. Together, we identify patterns, strengthen coping skills and boundaries, and build greater self-awareness so you can create lasting, meaningful change.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and intention. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that next step for yourself.

As a first-generation Filipino-American, I bring a personal understanding of navigating cultural identity and sense of self while unlearning the mental health stigma many of us were raised with.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work and several years of experience across a range of settings, including individual counseling and suicide prevention programs in rural Texas schools. I work with children and adolescents navigating self-esteem, trauma, social challenges, anxiety, depression, coping skills, and behavioral issues, as well as adults facing trauma, mood and personality disorders, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, and depression. My clients are often seeking space to build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and develop tools for lasting change.
I integrate DBT and CBT for practical coping skills, play therapy for younger clients, and psychodynamic work to explore deeper roots of struggle through a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens. Using motivational interviewing, I meet clients where they are, helping them build insight, resilience, and lasting change at their own pace.
Whatever brought you here, know that reaching out takes real courage, and you don't have to carry it alone. As someone who understands the cultural weight placed on silence and strength, I hold space for you to feel seen, respected, and understood, as you are. I'd be honored to walk alongside you as you take this next step toward healing.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Austin have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Austin, TX offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Slammed doors, screaming, late nights; these are all too common scenes in households around the country. Parents fighting with their teenagers is very common; we see it on television and movies constantly. However, there is another level of discord that becomes so disruptive to the entire family, and so worrisome for parents, that professional help is needed. At Thriveworks Austin, we have counseling available for teens and their parents.
Perhaps you have the opposite problem. Your once talkative and happy child has become a distant and withdrawn teenager. While this is also common in adolescence, it can be troublesome as well. You may have concerns about what your teenager is doing in their free time, how school is going, and just how they are feeling, but be unable to get any answers. We can help bridge the gap of communication between you and your child. Your teenager may find it a welcome relief to have an impartial mediator to talk to about their feelings and emotions.
There are many temptations and scary situations in the world for teenagers today. We can help you navigate the waters of growing up. It is not a smooth road for many, and spending time with a counselor can be healthy for your teenager’s emotional and psychological health, as well as for your relationship. We have appointments available for new clients within 24 hours.
