“We are moving through a fraught moment in time, where our ability to foster meaningful connection, heal ourselves, and nurture our communities matters more than ever. At GT we believe in the power of therapy to foster growth individually, as well as create transformation collectively. We remain commmitted to supporting and empowering all the families that we have the honor to work with. We remain committed to inclusivity, equity and justice. We remain fierce allies with our q***r, trans, BIPOC, neurodiverse, marginalized and intersectional communities. Your safety matters. Your identity is valid. Your voice will be heard here.”

Last week a few of us got out of the office and played a few games at Emerald Tavern Games and Cafe. It was so much fun we had to share more about why game time is so good for our well-being. What games are you playing?

Clients sometimes ask us about working with therapists in training. They want to know: will I be in good hands? At GT Therapy we highly value our team’s diversity of professional and life experiences. Our associate therapists are seriously dedicated to their chosen field, and they bring with them the energy, adaptability and commitment to doing their own growth work that make them excellent clinicians. Here are a few reasons why yes, you’re in good hands…

We can't wait for you to get to know Alicia! Here's a little more about the person behind the therapist, in her own words:

"I’m a dog mom to the cutest German Shepard named Barrett (who we call bear because he looked like a bear cub when he was a puppy), I am an avid Pinterest-er where I like to dream up every single room in my future home, a coffee enthusiast, a self-proclaimed chef, someone who loves dad jokes, being outdoors, doing yoga, reading romantic comedies and thrillers, and can proudly recite every word from every episode of FRIENDS."

Here’s a bit about the human behind the therapist, in Vanessa Lai’s own words:

“Outside of my clinical work I love being with my pups, having various creative projects, going to local markets, drag shows, special FX makeup, working out, watching scary movies, swimming, fostering dogs with APA!, and being outdoors. Some of my favorite things in the world are beaches (I’m an ocean girl for life), hot springs/spas, burritos, Zed’s ice cream, and 90’s music/movies. I’ve lived all over the country but have found Austin to be the best homebase for the last 12 years and I am thrilled to be of service to the community here!”

Vanessa’s areas of focus include:

🎯LGTBQ+ with a focus on trans and gender expansive folk

🎯Immigrants or children of immigrants

🎯BIPOC issues

🎯Depression / anxiety

🎯Life transitions

🎯Substance abuse

🎯Disordered eating

🎯Sexual trauma

🎯Intergenerational trauma

🎯Sensory processing sensitivities
