Feel Better, Breathe Easier
Welcome! Haas Psychotherapy PLLC is an in-person, North Central Austin practice focused on supporting you through major life transitions, relationship challenges, and the work of addressing depression, trauma, anxiety, grief, and loneliness.
How can I help?
Are you finding yourself feeling anxious more frequently? Are you worried about changes in your personal relationships or your relationships with substances? Do you find yourself feeling lonely even when you’re around others? Or, are you arguing with your partner more than you’d like?
Those and many other reasons can prompt people to seek out therapy. Through significant personal and relational challenges, we all benefit from a caring, compassionate, non-judgmental person to sit with us, gently push us to explore our thoughts and feelings, and delve into their origins. All humans have the capacity to self-heal, but as relational beings, it is much easier to do that with experienced, objective support and guidance. My goal is to collaborate with you to explore your needs, to bring the unconscious forward so you can tune into what your body is trying to communicate, and help you develop healthy coping mechanisms to breathe easier and enjoy your life and relationships fully.
About Me
Hi! I’m Amanda, and I have the best job in the entire world—caring about, supporting, and learning from my fellow humans! At sixteen-years-old starting out in the service industry, I learned that caring about others and taking the time to truly see them was what gave my life the most meaning and brought me a joy I cannot express. Since then, I have spent time in the classroom as an alternative high school English teacher, spent six years in non-profit community engagement, and the past four years providing clinical case management in supportive housing services. I have met, learned from, and grown to truly love people of all ages and from all walks of life.
I chose to start a private practice because I found it infuriating when politics and income inequality began making it harder and harder to provide the equitable, quality services all humans deserve to everyone. Therapy is political when human rights, harm reduction, and self-determination become threatened.
My practice is for me AND for you. I have never worked with a person in my entire career who did not bring just as much quality to my life (if not more) than I brought to theirs. I love that each new perspective I’m fortunate to learn broadens my own worldview. We’re in this together, and I want you to speak up if what we’re doing isn’t working. I want you to be YOU in the room—you never have to perform for me. Also, I hate screens. We have enough of them in our world today. I offer limited telehealth options for existing clients when there is a need, but primarily, I want to see your lovely face! I have a cozy office in North Central Austin, or I’m thrilled to meet you somewhere to walk and talk, or we can share a cup of tea at your table. My mother was the primary caregiver for my father for years—I know that sometimes you need another human to talk to but you just can’t leave your home. I get it. We’ll make that work! And, if you’re worried you or your home isn’t perfect or “company ready,” then I bet you’re exactly my kind of person—because that just means you are and you live somewhere real.
Caring Services, Tailored to You
Access to quality mental health care should be a right everyone has access to regardless of their ability to pay. At our consultation, in addition to your therapy goals, we will discuss your financial situation and determine a sliding scale fee you can afford.
Please know that if you can afford the regular fee, your payments are ensuring that others are able to pay what is feasible for them and that we are all doing our best with the resources we have.
I am currently credentialed with Aetna, Cigna, and Quest Behavioral Health. However, I am personally against the pathologizing of mental health and prefer not to work with insurance whenever possible.
