Find a therapist in Austin, TX — covered by insurance

My name is Jena Bennett and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 13 years. I specialize in trauma and grief counseling. Currently, I work with individuals and married couples. I believe when people find help and healing there is a ripple effect of healing in our culture.

Hi, I'm Melinda. If anxiety, depression, anger, or substance use has you or your family feeling stuck, I understand what you're facing. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a behavior teacher, lead special education teacher, and annual review and dismissal (ARD) facilitator, giving me deep insight into the challenges families face within the education system. I work with children, adolescents, and adults, drawing on that background to help you build real skills and lasting change. I love what I do, and I want to help you become the strongest version of yourself.

You look like you have it together—but inside, your relationship feels strained, communication breaks down, or anxiety and overthinking take over. Whether you’re a couple stuck in the same arguments, a teen struggling emotionally, or an adult feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to figure this out alone. I provide therapy in San Antonio for couples, teens, and adults who want real, lasting change. I specialize in “couples therapy,” “teen counseling,” and “therapy for anxiety and relationship issues,” helping clients improve communication, manage emotions, and break unhealthy patterns.

I have 6+ years of working with both individuals and couples. I work to create an atmosphere free of judgement while trying to be as direct as possible.

Taking the first step to therapy can be hard and such a relief once that first step is taken. I am here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space of compassion and empathy. Through a holistic lens we will work together to navigate life's challenges and achieve your personal goals. With over 20 years in education, I now find myself working with clients from diverse backgrounds and all ages. My approach will be tailored to meet your unique needs. I offer EMDR, Internal Familly Systems alongside CBT, DBT and ACT. I offer help navigating trauma, depression, ADHD, grief and life transitions. Together we will conquer the root of life's deeper issues or places you may feel stuck. You already have the strength and resilience to write your new story - it is my job to create a safe, authentic and sometimes humorous space where you can begin to rewrite it.

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports individuals through life transitions, everyday stress, and other emotional challenges. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and cared for. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and person-centered, and I aim to help clients build practical tools they can use in daily life as they move toward healing and growth.

Hey ya'll my name is Nick. Life can be difficult in so many different ways. I take a practical approach to handling your issues. I tend to be a direct and directive therapist, with a warm and compassionate feeling. I specialize with OCD, Anxiety disorders, ADHD, Depression, Stress, and Transitional phases of life.

I’m a bilingual, multicultural Licensed Professional Counselor who supports adolescents, teens, parents, adults, couples, and families in both English and Spanish.
