SOMETHING BETTER
IS POSSIBLE

You may be here because something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may be struggling with anxiety, grief, relationships, or a difficult period of change. Or things may look fine from the outside while you’re struggling internally.

Sometimes we understand exactly what’s happening and still don’t know how to change it. Other times, we know something isn’t right but can’t quite name why. Our histories, relationships, fears, needs, and ways of protecting ourselves can shape us in ways we don’t always recognize.

We can hold conflicting feelings, want different things at the same time, and understand ourselves deeply while life keeps asking us to learn more.

Whether you’re new to therapy or have been doing this for years, there is room here for all of you: complex, changing, sometimes contradictory, with more to understand and discover.

Meet Elizabeth Geeslin, LMFT

About Elizabeth

I’ve been practicing psychotherapy for over a decade, with a private practice established in San Francisco and now Austin. I see clients in person in Austin and virtually throughout California and Texas.

I’ve seen how much can change when you’re able to be honest about what hurts, understand what has shaped you, and work through what has been difficult to resolve on your own. Therapy can help you heal from painful experiences, change deeply rooted patterns, and develop a stronger relationship with yourself and the people in your life.

I offer a place to process trauma, heal old wounds, face difficult feelings, and work through experiences that continue to affect your life. I help you understand what keeps you stuck, tend to the parts of you that need care, and change patterns that get in the way of feeling close to yourself and others.

Life will continue to bring joy, loss, change, uncertainty, and conflict. My hope is that I can help you meet all of it with a stronger sense of yourself and a greater capacity to live the life you want.

Feeling better is your right. 

It is also a process: 

to face what is hard

to understand what you carry 

and make room

for things to change.

Anxiety

Anxiety can affect how you think, feel, and move through daily life. Nervous system and body-based approaches help your world feel steadier and more manageable.

Depression

You may be experiencing disconnection, numbness, or withdrawal. Learn to identify what has gone quiet, while finding reconnection and greater engagement with your life.

Grief & loss

Whether you’ve lost a person, relationship, pet, future, or an important version of yourself. Grief work can deepen your capacity to feel and remain present in your life.

OCD

Intrusive and obsessive thoughts, along with compulsions, can feel overpowering and hard to escape. Fostering tolerance and flexibility helps to loosen their grip over time.

Trauma

Trauma shapes how you react, protect, and relate to others. This work helps shift hypervigilance, so you can move through life with more safety and choice.

Relationship patterns

Deepen an understanding of your relationship patterns and dynamics while developing healthier connections amid anxiety, ambivalence, avoidance, or longing.

Crossroads

Life transitions and turning points can bring difficult decisions or competing pulls. Compassionate support for navigating uncertainty as clarity and new direction emerge.

Caregiving & parenting

Caregiving can bring a mix of love, exhaustion, fulfillment, and loss. These experiences can be challenging. I offer a space to hold it all and find a more grounded way of showing up.

Identity

Questions about who you are and where you belong deserve your attention. Working together, you’ll fortify and nurture an honest relationship with yourself.

Values & core motivations

Find a deeper sense of purpose and direction. Clarify what drives you and what matters most. The Enneagram is used as a framework in this process.

High sensitivity

You've been told you're "too much." For highly sensitive people (HSPs), we approach sensitivity as a nervous system trait and adaptation, not a flaw.

Body image & eating patterns

Our relationship to food and our body can be complex. In therapy, you’ll explore this vital relationship through somatic and mindfulness-based approaches.

Offerings

There doesn’t have to be a crisis or a single reason to begin therapy. Sometimes there is something clearly asking for attention; other times, it’s harder to name. Whatever brings you in, your identity, relationships, and lived experience are part of the conversation. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive of diverse identities and relationship structures.

Individual therapy

A space for adults and teens caught in anxiety, overwhelm, or repeating relational patterns. The aim is change that feels more regulated and lasting.

Couples therapy

Couples who want more presence can connection. Who might feel disconnected, reactive, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift.

Consultation & Coaching

Get guidance around a decision, project, or shared goal. Will incorporate the Enneagram to explore personality and motivation.
