Amy Hoffman, Lmsw : Individual Therapy

Amy is an engaged and compassionate therapist who believes therapy can help you order your inner world so you are less buffeted by anxiety, acute stress, health problems, depression or simply taking in the headlines.

We often fear the strength of our emotions and avoid them, and then miss the valuable information and energy those emotions can provide.

Amy’s professional background is in hospice work. She also had a cancer diagnosis and knows how scary a crisis is, as well as what a catalyst for growth it can be. Amy would be honored to meet with you, hoping to hear you with her whole self with the goal of getting someplace new. “Most of what we say to ourselves are things we already know. Therapy can be about discovering what we know just beyond our current awareness.”

Amy is currently supervised by Tammy Brown, LCSW-S

David Burks, LCsw : Individual Therapy

We can’t get around suffering sometimes in this life, but we can learn to live with dignity and grace, and we can know joy. Whether you are having questions of a spiritual nature, feeling stuck in your life, or needing to be free of deep and abiding pain, David stands ready to walk with you on the path of healing.

In his approach, David draws from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and experiential, psychodynamic therapies. He is a long-time meditator and has taught mindfulness in hospital and university settings. His style is warm, relational, and present-centered, and he has experience with people suffering from trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and spiritual crisis, with a special focus on spiritual growth.

David is a native Texan and a long-time Austinite.
