Let's face it, therapy is a major commitment of your time, money and energy. This is probably a big decision for you and your family. I understand. It's hard to put your needs first, when you've been putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own.
This is about you. This is an investment in you and your mental health. I believe that there is no better investment. You are worth the time, energy and commitment. To make sure that this decision is a good fit for you, I offer a free 15-minute initial consultation, where you can ask me any questions and get a sense of what it would be like to work with me in therapy. To book your first therapy session, simply text or call 512-644-9036 or email michelepurvin@gmail.com |
How I CAN Help?We will work together to become aware of your thoughts and feelings about a problem, and how to look at those problems in different, more manageable ways. Sometimes we will laugh together and sometimes cry together. Sometimes therapy will be hard, and you’ll want to quit. Don’t quit. Let’s talk about it instead. You won’t be alone with those tough feelings. You’ll take notes in session to remember some of the insights you had during session or to write down a resource. Sometimes I may gently challenge a thought or notice how the story you tell yourself is no longer helping you and we’ll figure out how to write an updated version of your story.
In between sessions, you might read a book, listen to a podcast, or do a worksheet to get even more out of your therapy. You’ll learn new activities or ideas to build the skills you need to get unstuck. Gradually, you will start to feel lighter, more balanced. You’ll have better tools for handling new challenges, and an increased sense of self-worth.
There’s no better feeling than a sense of accomplishment a good therapy session can bring — except for the first morning you wake up anxiety-free. Unpacking all the junk built up in your subconscious takes hard work, and it’s often not fun. But it is very worthwhile. |

Teletherapy is mental health counseling over the phone or online. As videoconferencing software improves, more therapists are incorporating this form of virtual mental health support into their practice. Teletherapy can be convenient for both the client and the therapist. Studies have shown that online interventions can be just as effective an in-person counseling.

As long as you reside in Texas, you can participate in teletherapy exclusively, while others may prefer the in-person experience in my office in San Marcos. In some cases, teletherapy can supplement in-person therapy, or vice versa. Each type has advantages and disadvantages. Ask me more about the differences between teletherapy and in-person therapy.

When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing. |
