Austin Texas Counselor

Seth Houdeshell LCSW

Austin Therapist

Discomfort prompts us to seek change. This feeling may come from an old problem or from old pain that seems to follow you through the years of your life. It may also come from a new problem that has caught you by surprise or left you feeling stuck. Maybe you just feel drawn toward your potential to improve the quality of your life in some way. You deserve to feel satisfied with your counselor. A competent counselor will be able to listen to your feedback and tailor the course of counseling to meet your needs.

I use an outcome-based approach by seeking the client's feedback about whether or not their life is improving in key areas. When the client reports progress, we know we are on track. If no progress is being made, we then decide on a new approach to take. I have the experience of treating hundreds of couples and thousands of individuals in the past decade. My clients have a higher than average rates of success- about 75% report progress and improvement in their lives, while the industry average is around 50%.
