Therapy Services
Therapy looks different for everyone. At Moving Parts Psychotherapy, our approach is grounded in relationship, safety, and collaboration; meeting you where you are and honoring the pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your relationship, your teen, or a sense of connection through community, our Austin, TX therapists offer trauma-informed care that centers your humanity and lived experience.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a space that is just for you – a place to slow down, reflect, and explore what you’ve been carrying. Our work is collaborative and tailored to your needs, supporting you in understanding patterns shaped by past experiences and building greater ease in your body, mind, and relationships. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life transition, individual therapy invites you to reconnect with your strengths and move toward meaningful change.
Couples Therapy & Family Counseling
Relationships shape how we experience the world. Couples therapy and family counseling provide support when connection feels strained, communication breaks down, or life transitions bring unexpected challenges. Our collaborative approach helps partners, couples, and families of all structures and identities to understand underlying patterns, rebuild trust, and strengthen emotional safety.
Teen & Adolescent Therapy
Adolescence is a time of rapid change, identity development, and emotional intensity. Teen and adolescent therapy offers a supportive space for young people to explore their inner world, build coping skills, and feel understood during a pivotal stage of life. We work collaboratively with teens and their caregivers, balancing privacy with connection to help them navigate the stresses, emotions, and challenges of approaching adulthood.
Group Therapy
Facilitated by therapists in a warm, supportive setting, group therapy offers healing in connection with others. Participants come together around shared experiences, finding validation, insight, and a sense of belonging. Together, we explore patterns, practice vulnerability, and feel less alone. For many, group therapy becomes a powerful complement to individual work, or a meaningful place to begin.
Experts in Trauma Therapy
At Moving Parts Psychotherapy, trauma therapy is at the core of our work. We specialize in trauma-informed, nervous system–based care that honors the complexity of your experiences and the ways trauma lives in both the mind and body. Below, you’ll find the trauma therapy modalities we use to support healing – whether through the body, the nervous system, memory processing, or parts-based work.
-
EMDR
EMDR is a technique used for memory reconsolidation. This modality uses bilateral stimulation to reprocess traumatic events that have occurred with the goal of minimizing and, eventually, diminishing symptoms. Reprocessing traumatic events allows us to come to a new understanding of the event and the beliefs you hold about yourself in relation to the trauma.
-
Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems therapy was created around the idea that we all have an internal system with parts that hold different roles. In the IFS model, we consider each part as important and necessary and get to know each part with the goal of integrating them in to the system to become self lead rather than part lead. This modality is helpful in connecting the body with emotion and memory.
-
Somatic Experiencing
In this modality, we recognize the body’s natural resilience and capabilities for healing. We follow sensations, images, behaviors, affect, and meaning related to past distressing events to move through the ways they are showing up in the present. When we learn to follow the body’s natural impulses, we can more easily allow distress to move through us, rather than become stuck within.
-
Sandtray Therapy
Sandtray therapy is a tactile way of accessing our subconscious through symbols and metaphor. Both children and adults find the tool of the sand to be an engaging approach to therapy – especially trauma therapy. Our clinicians are skilled and trained in this way of working and witnessing, walking alongside you, and honoring your journey in the sand.
“I’m so deeply grateful for the time we spent together and for all the work we did. This season of therapy truly helped shape me into such a different, more grounded person, and I carry so much of what I learned from you with me. Thank you for all the care, support, and energy you poured into me, it means more than I can ever fully express.”
