Hello! Whether this is your first time searching for a therapist, or you are deep into your search for a therapist that clicks, I am here to help with your search. I provide a safe, comfortable, collaborative, and nurturing environment for adults and adolescents to begin a journey of self-discovery and take actionable steps toward managing issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, challenging life transitions, and low self-esteem. I help my clients gain an understanding of their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and how they experience life to support them in addressing the barriers that are hindering their personal growth.
I'm Karin (she/her/ella), a Latina Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate under the supervision of Jennifer Buffalo, LPC-S, LMFT, NCC. Austin has been my home for 9 years. When I am not supporting my clients in creating meaningful change in their lives, you can find me reading a book or walking my pups Bea, Sabrina, and Rio.
I feel honored to help individuals in my community access therapy in a way that feels right for them. I am available for both in-person and online sessions. If you think I could provide the type of support you are looking for, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary 30-minute consultation.
Call or Karin Amador now for a free 15 minute consultation - (512) 866-6268
