I earned my Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan 1995. I started my career working with survivors of partner/family violence and then worked in community mental health and psychiatry. After a decade of working, I transitioned away from social work to pursue additional education and other interests. In 2016 I immersed myself in local and national public school advocacy for several years before returning to clinical work and private practice.

I work with people from all cultures and I have a particular interest in working with folks who live at the intersection of multiple racial and cultural identities. I believe our internal world connects deeply to our culture and society and our wellness is intertwined with systems, small and large.

Hello everyone! I’m Ted Thao, a second-generation Asian American therapist. I foster authenticity and well-being in our sessions. I believe that people can experience two opposing emotions and those emotions can hold value and truth. It’s honoring, understanding, and accepting these emotions and how they can benefit our lives or even cause us to live in constant misery.

Born and raised in the Hmong culture, I understand the power of diverse stories and the varied experiences that shape our lives. As a therapist, I create a safe and inclusive space for everyone by weaving our connections together regardless of our background, to embark on a transformative journey towards embracing our authentic selves.

I have experience working with 1st & 2nd immigrants/refugees, veterans, first responders, individuals who abuse substances, perfectionism, and ADHD. Through these communities, I have experienced treating but not limited to; self-esteem, anxiety, depression, identity, PTSD, complex trauma, substance abuse, & grief.

My name is Bitna Lee (she/her) and I’m a bilingual, bicultural, and millennial therapist based in Austin, Texas. I’m also a licensed clinical social worker in TX and VA. I spent my childhood in South Korea and moved to the US about 15 years ago. My curiosity about human beings and desire to help others led me to become a therapist.

I started working in this field in 2014. Before launching my private practice, I worked as a full-time therapist for six years in a university counseling center, an outpatient clinic and a non-profit organization. In my professional career, I met many clients with relationship trauma and self-criticism and I love working with those populations. I also enjoy navigating one’s intersectional identities from a multicultural and systemic perspective.

As a cisgender and heterosexual therapist, I recognize my privileges. I’ll embrace your values non-judgmentally regardless of what background you are from.

I’m Laurie Gamble (she/her/hers) and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m excited that you’ve chosen to add therapy to part of your self-care. Look at you taking care of yourself!!

I graduated from the Master of Social Work program at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), specializing in transformative culturally competent practice with diverse populations. I was raised by my Korean immigrant grandmother and Black grandfather in Killeen, Texas (just north of Austin). Growing up racially ambiguous, I struggled with racial identity development, especially in the midst of experiencing microagressions. This informs a lot of my therapeutic approach. I believe we have to approach healing through a holistic lens and view each person as a part of many systems including their family, community, culture, religion, society, and others. Intersectionality helps us understand that we are more than one “thing.” At all times we are carrying and accessing multiple parts of our identity that mix to form something beautifully complex– YOU!
