I am currently closed to new clients. "Help me." "I need to change..." These were two common statements from clients of all ages while I was in private practice for 11 years in Texas. I specialized in working with families with children and adolescents. I wrote books and spoke at seminars to help teens and their families. Now with over 20 years of experience my greatest satisfaction comes from helping clients with a wide array of issues focusing on making positive change happen. Now, I am available online to help you change your life. My "prized" evening spots are limited to 16 (there's only one of me), but I do work 11am - 9:15pm during the week (offering 45-minute sessions only). My diverse training allows us, together, to ascertain problems, develop goals, and set a realistic timeline for improvement. Each treatment plan is different for each client. My training as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Texas has allowed a deeper understanding of how you interact with those at home, at work, or at school. My "down-to-earth" conversations can even help your children or partner improve. My holistic approach can even incorporate your religious values. Let's talk about how we can change your life.

Hi! I am a licensed counselor based in Austin, Texas. My style is friendly, focused, and down-to-earth. I aim to be helpful with each individual I work with, and take pride in designing a therapy that will really work for you. I’ve trained in a variety of approaches and find that virtually all approaches offer something valuable. However, I believe the classic fundamentals of therapy - empathy and a good collaborative therapeutic relationship - are the primary basis for effective therapy and therefore I put a lot of effort into these. One of my views about life is that it is often asking for various forms of balance: Balancing kindness and strength, tenderness and toughness, openness and clarity, relaxation and alertness. And so in therapy, I always strive to create the right balance for you of supportiveness and challenge. And, I invite and encourage your candid feedback about the process (and by candid I mean candid - really!) so I can make appropriate adjustments. Therapy, like life, can be a wonderful adventure and I’m glad for the opportunity to support you in the journey. *** Education: St. Edwards University, Masters in Counseling, 2012.

My name is Mary Slaton, LPC, NCC. I earned my counseling degree from Loyola in 2001, and my certification in meditation from Chopra Institute in 2021. When everything is aligned in our lives, we feel happy and fulfilled, but we all encounter obstacles. At times, we need encouragement and guidance to find our way back. Seeking counseling shows a belief in your ability to bring about positive change in your life. I am here to assist you and encourage you as you explore alternatives that lead to the satisfying life you envision. I believe that we are goal-oriented, but we are sometimes unaware of how we're trying to gain that feeling of significance and satisfaction. Along the path to achieving your goals, it helps me to find out about the various areas of your life, such as social, spiritual, love, self, and work. As we explore the various areas of your life, we’ll discover patterns. As we uncover these, we can determine what is working for you, so we can explore ways of increasing these positive experiences in other areas of your life. I believe people have the capacity for self-awareness and the ability to resolve their problems with support and assistance. So many people wander through life feeling like there's more or that things could be different, so thank you for taking that brave step toward setting the goals that will bring you the relief, happiness, and joy that we all seek.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan, from ages 3 to 75, and with diverse backgrounds and various challenges. I used to provide couples and marital counseling, as well as family and group counseling, where I served as both a facilitator and co-facilitator in various therapeutic settings. However, I currently only focus on individual counseling, which I have the most experience in. Throughout my career, I have supported clients facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, grief, career struggles, codependency, narcissism, and ADHD. I also work with individuals navigating autism, addiction, substance use, gender identity, eating disorders, social anxiety, sexuality, neurodivergence, CPTSD, and various types/forms of abuse. My therapeutic style is warm and person-centered, emphasizing a nonjudgmental and interactive space where clients can take the lead. I believe clients are the true experts in their lives, so my role is to walk alongside them as a supportive guide, offering unconditional positive regard and encouragement in their journey of self-discovery. Understanding that each client’s path is unique, I tailor my approach to honor their individual experiences and needs. Rather than adopting a “one size fits all” approach, I draw from a blend of therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, narrative, dialectical behavioral, exposure, humanistic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, art, emotionally focused, and rational-emotive therapies. Together, we’ll shape our dialogue and develop a treatment plan that best aligns with your unique needs, honoring your goals and helping you overcome any obstacles in your way.

How does the cost of in-person sessions with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

Is mental health care and therapy worth it?

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
