CASEY DAVIDS, M.ED., LPC-S
HIYA, I'm Casey (she/her/hers)...
Sometimes people struggle with the idea of going to see a therapist and finding the one that is right for them. Having rapport with your counselor is the most important thing. Once there is rapport with your counselor, the conversations will not feel forced/coerced ...you get to be in the present and work on why you came to therapy to begin with. I will use a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue.
My job is to give you a safe, comfortable place to express yourself without judgement. I am an attentive listener and respond with honesty, insight, intuition, kindness and humor.
A little bit about me: I am originally from Ohio and now am blessed to call Austin my home. I am currently licensed in Texas (#72570).
Before I entered into private practice I was a School Counselor (9 years as a Middle School Counselor and 1 year as a High School Counselor). I worked in college as an Academic Advisor for Exploratory students while in Graduate School.
I have a strong passion for working with adolescents, adults and new moms. Through my practice and own experience, I want to give adolescents & adults a safe place to talk, process things they are going through, and be a person that they can rely on and trust to explore their feelings & emotions. I also want to help expecting parents and their support person with this huge life transition from understanding the 4th & 5th trimester, to postpartum planning, to infertility struggles, to offering support in times of need throughout the whole perinatal journey.
When I am not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my family (husband, 2 toddlers and our pup Muffin), traveling the world, reading, and socializing with friends.

MASTER ACCELERATED RESOLUTION CERTIFIED THERAPIST, THERAPY, COACHING,
KRISTI WAIDHOFER, LCSW
Hi, my name is Kristi Waidhofer (she/her/hers) and I believe walking into therapy is one of the bravest gifts you can give yourself. I try to create a calm, safe environment for clients. My style is relational, warm, kind, and encouraging which makes it easy for my clients to relax. I have a genuine, down-to-earth personality and I speak to clients in much the same way that I would talk to a friend or any other person in my life. I am not just a “smile and nod” therapist nor am I just going to stare at you until you start talking. I much prefer to roll up my sleeves and “sit in the suck” with you to make real movement towards your therapy goals.
I work from a client-centered, strengths-based perspective to create comfort and empower my clients. You are the expert of your own life after all. I also incorporate “person-in-environment” which means I know you are heavily impacted by the multiple layers of your environment rather than YOU being the “sole cause of your problems”. I work with an understanding of neuroplasticity - the brain's ability to rewire and reorganize itself. People (of all ages) have the potential to grow, change and develop (you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!) Counseling is the place for you to take off the many masks you may wear, learn authenticity and self-compassion, and gain tools and techniques to help you feel better.
I have experience working with adolescents, families, and adults experiencing a variety of issues including: anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation issues, grief and loss, body issues and/or disordered eating (from an Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size approach), LGBTQIA+ concerns, family conflict, and substance use. I am passionate about social justice issues (sex, gender, race, class, ability, and more) and creating equity and agency for my clients. I am anti-racist, fat and sex positive, and identify as a strong ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
I have 19 years of social work experience, 10 of which were dedicated to helping adult mental health, trauma, and substance abuse through research and direct practice. This has given me the unique ability to work with clients using the most recent evidence-based therapy approaches. Nine of those years were devoted to high school students in a crisis and student support counselor capacity. This experience fine-tuned my ability to remain calm in the storm and stay in the present moment to find working next steps and solutions. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts focus on Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work. I am clinically licensed in Texas and Massachusetts.
When I am not working with clients (or limited to activities due to a pandemic) I enjoy listening to live music, hiking, photography, gardening, and trying to pet every animal that passes by.
