Do You Have Questions? We Have Answers.

1. What types of therapy do you offer at Lake Austin Psychotherapy?

At Lake Austin Psychotherapy, we offer a range of trauma-informed therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), ketamine-assisted therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and talk therapy. Each approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

2. How can EMDR therapy help with trauma or PTSD?

EMDR therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment designed to help the brain process and heal from trauma. It works by using bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements—to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories. At our Austin-based practice, we use EMDR to support individuals recovering from PTSD, childhood trauma, and other distressing experiences.

3. Is ketamine therapy effective for anxiety and depression?

Yes, ketamine-assisted therapy has shown promising results for individuals with treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. At Lake Austin Psychotherapy, we integrate ketamine therapy with compassionate psychotherapy to help clients access deep emotional healing in a safe and supportive environment.

4. What should I expect during my first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is a chance for us to get to know you—your story, your goals, and what brings you to therapy.

Whether you’re seeking EMDR, ketamine therapy, or traditional talk therapy, we’ll work together to create a path forward.
