Tired of trying to do the “right” thing all the time?
You’re trying to meet all the expectations— your parents, your relationships, your religion, your career, yourself.
What do you actually want?
MIKE ROTHSCHILD, LPC
In-person therapy in Austin · Online throughout Texas
Specializing in Religious Trauma
I'm not here to give you new rules or expectations to follow.
I'm here to help you hear yourself more clearly.
That means:
Slowing down.
Looking at where your beliefs and expectations came from.
Getting curious about emotions you're quick to dismiss.
Understanding why parts of you developed the way they did, rather than believing they're broken.
We’ll aim to strengthen the voice that asks “What do I want to try” rather than"What am I supposed to do?"
I know what it's like to sit on the other side of the room.
I've gone through significant changes in my own life. My journey isn't yours, but I know the intimate, vulnerable feeling of sitting on “the couch,” hoping the therapist across from me will understand.
I’m not going to tell you whether you’re right or wrong. Because even though you may want that reassurance from me, it will always ring truer if it comes from yourself.
I aim to live in your world for the 50 minutes we have together and trust that what you’re saying is true for you in that moment.
If you can feel understood, you have the power to get curious about yourself.
And curiosity gives you space to consider changing.
