Mental health information and encouragement for recovery from eating and body image issues.

Counseling and coaching helps each of us practice self-discovery which leads to self-acceptance and compassion for ourselves. When we accept "what is" we are able to make the changes we want for our lives. The benefits of Counseling or Coaching include:
-Personal Insight
-Self-Exploration
-Problem Solving
-Recovery Support
-Spiritual Development
-Emotional Skills & Growth
-Relationship Awareness & Skills
-Work-life balance
-Communication skills
-Flexibility and freedom from perfectionism & people pleasing
-Assertiveness
-Lifestyle changes
-Motivation
-Values-driven action
-Mindfulness

People come to counseling and coaching for many reasons but some of the issues that my clients have addressed with me include:
-Eating Disorders, emotional eating and disordered eating
-Mindful Eating & Intuitive Eating
-Weight management
-Over-exercise, exercise addiction, and exercise aversion
-Anxiety related eating concerns, e.g. OCD, rigid eating, rule-based eating, fear of food
-Relationship difficulties
-Career choices, transitions and struggles
-Life transitions, loss or grief
-Parenting - especially related to food behaviors and the family food system
-Spiritual exploration and/or spiritual struggles

A helpful reminder for anxious minds: our brains are wired to overestimate danger and underestimate our ability to cope.

When anxiety paints a catastrophic picture, pause and check the facts. More often than not, the reality is far gentler than the story fear tells.

If you’ve been affected by the government shutdown or recent SNAP benefit disruptions, you’re not alone. We’ve gathered a list of local and national resources offering food assistance, financial support, and community aid.

Everyone deserves stability and support - especially in times like these.

Healing rarely looks like a straight line. It’s the quiet choices, the tiny pauses, and the gentle self-compassion that add up. 🌱

Save this as a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.

Because every great therapy team deserves a sitcom-style intro 💫

Meet our clinicians — dedicated, compassionate, and maybe just a little too good at smiling for the camera.

A haunted house, but it’s your therapist saying, “Notice what’s coming up for you right now.” 👻

Facing your fears doesn’t always mean ghosts and goblins-sometimes it’s sitting with hard feelings, setting boundaries, or speaking your truth.

From all of us at Discovery Counseling Austin, wishing you a spooky (and self-aware) Halloween!

As we “fall back” next weekend, consider it an invitation to slow down too. 🍂

The shorter days and longer nights can shift our energy and mood - and that’s okay. You don’t have to keep the same pace all year. This season is about grounding, rest, and small moments of warmth.

Take time to check in with yourself. How can you give yourself a little more grace, light, or rest this week?

It’s Gilmore Girls season again, which means romanticizing small-town coffee shops, crisp leaves, and a little self-discovery along the way. ☕🍂

Just like Rory and Lorelai, therapy can help you find connection, set boundaries, and figure out what really matters (even if it’s not coffee.. but let’s be honest, it probably is).

Wherever you are in your story, we’re here to help you slow down, reflect, and rediscover what feels good for you.

Today’s a reminder that you don’t need to be “all better” to be worthy of peace. Healing isn’t a straight line - it’s messy, brave, and deeply human. ❤️‍🩹

Take a moment today to check in with yourself, to rest, to breathe. You deserve care, not just when you’re struggling, but always.

When you start saying ‘no’ and suddenly you’re the villain… 🙃 Boundaries aren’t mean—they’re necessary. If someone’s mad about your limits, that says more about them than you.
