About
Having experienced personal trauma and life's challenges, I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 4 years of experience in mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote healing and long-term well-being. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate, client-centered environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered in their journey toward mental health.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I developed a strong commitment to evidence-based care and holistic treatment. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy to address each client’s unique needs, build coping strategies, and foster resilience and stability.
Taking the first step toward mental health care can feel overwhelming, but it is also an important act of strength. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized support that empowers you to move forward with confidence. If you’re ready to begin your path toward greater stability and well-being, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

Arlie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) in the state of Texas. His career has spanned from working with adults seeking help with life adjustments, depression, PTSD, trauma, domestic abuse, and survivors of sexual abuse. As a play therapist, he has worked in public schools and foster care with children needing support with ADHD, adjustment disorders, trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and behavioral concerns.
Arlie received his Bachelor’s degree from Excelsior University while on active duty and completed his Master of Arts counseling and play therapy certification from Regis University in Denver, CO. He is a retired military veteran with 26 years of service and over 7 years of professional counseling experience. Arlie uses several treatment approaches to meet the individual needs of each client. He is a person-centered clinician who believes in establishing a trusting relationship coupled with a genuine concern for the client’s needs. As an RPT, Arlie uses a child-centered play therapy approach. Children often cannot express themselves verbally; therefore, play can be used to help them express concerns while using toys for their words. While his baseline approach with adults is person-centered, he also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and sand tray therapy dependent on the individual’s particular needs.
Arlie believes everyone has a solution to their problems but sometimes they need support in finding it. He will meet you where you are with honor, with total regard to your concerns, and without judgment. Arlie genuinely would like to help you travel through life with success, dignity, and purpose. He is ready to meet you where you are on life's journey and believes broken crayons can still color.
Please note that only clients 15 and above can be scheduled via Telehealth all clients 14 and below should schedule in person.

Sexual assault therapy helps victims heal from their assault and trauma. Sexual assault can take a number of forms, from the abuse of a child to the violent sexual assault of an adult. No matter what kind of experience you or a loved one has had, our therapists in Austin, TX will be ready to get to work on helping you find a path toward a better future.
Sexual assault therapy works by helping victims process and move forward from their traumatic experience(s). In addition, it helps one address and manage any resulting mental health challenges from depression to stress, anxiety, poor self-image, unhealthy eating patterns, and more.
Sexual assault therapy at Thriveworks in Austin, TX is conducted both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Sexual assault therapy often lasts for months to years. However, it can last longer or shorter, depending on the individual’s unique needs.
If you are the victim of a sexual assault, you need to know that you are not alone and that help is immediately available. After you have contacted the police and been through the criminal justice system, you may feel alone and unsure where to turn. Whether this crime recently happened and you are in shock and denial, or if the assault happened years or decades ago, you are most likely feeling intense psychological ramifications. Regardless of when this assault happened, relief is possible through discussing your emotions and processing the situation. Sexual crimes or assaults are oftentimes more difficult to discuss because of the private nature of the subject matter. At Thriveworks Austin, we have caring and sensitive counselors standing by, ready to walk with you on this journey of healing.
Sexual assault can come at the hands of someone with which you are in a relationship, by an acquaintance, or from a stranger. Each situation carries with it a different set of emotions and questions. When you are assaulted by someone you thought you loved, you may feel intense betrayal, distrust, and confusion. Suffering an assault from a stranger can also bring it’s own set of fears and mistrust. Anxiety can develop from such crimes, and compulsive behaviors can result from trying to avoid even the possibility of being in the same situation. We can help you break free and gain control over your life again. After a sexual assault, your life may never be the same, but Thriveworks Austin counselors and therapists can help you create a new, healthy normal.
Thriveworks Austin counselors are leaders in their field. They are ready to put their expertise to work for you. We have appointments available within 24 hours and understand that when you call, you are in need of help immediately. Call us today. Let us help you with your recovery.
