About

a little about me

I’m a licensed mental health therapist serving adults across California. I work with people who are thoughtful, capable, and often carrying more than they let on. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves—and wanting support that feels grounded, respectful, and genuinely human. My approach is warm, collaborative, and paced to meet you where you are.
‍
In our work together, I focus on helping you better understand your patterns, emotions, and relationships, while also building practical tools you can use in everyday life. I draw from evidence-based practices, but I’m not interested in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, sessions are shaped around your goals, your values, and what feels most supportive to you. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin—curiosity and willingness are enough.
‍
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. A place to be honest, reflect, and make sense of things without judgment or pressure. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, burnout, or simply feeling ready for deeper self-understanding, I’m here to walk alongside you. My role is not to “fix” you, but to support you in reconnecting with yourself and moving forward with more clarity and self-trust.

Warmly,
Ruby Austin, LPC
