Welcome! My name is Emily Nash (she/they) and I am a Honduran-American social worker and associate therapist from Texas. I moved to Austin nine years ago when I started undergrad at the University of Texas. I received my MSW from the University of Houston where I was able to explore anti-oppressive social work practice and continue to use this framework in my practice of care. As your therapist, I am committed to cultivating a safe space in the therapy room by welcoming all identities that my clients hold and by using a client-centered approach, meaning that you are the expert of your life, and we are working together as a team.

My name is Celestie Nguyen (she/her), and I am a queer, first-generation woman of colour with my heart in my hands and a love for buying new books before I can finish my current ones. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), and earned my MSW from Columbia University’s School of Social Work, before hauling myself, my partner, and our cat down to Texas. I am deeply committed to practicing from an anti-capitalist and anti-oppressive lens, and supporting clients onwards in their expansive journey of mental health.

Hello! My name is Marissa Sanchez, and I am a first generation, queer Latinx social worker, that often finds myself getting lost in writing poetry in the many beautiful outdoor spaces around Austin.Being a social worker that is very passionate about my work I am constantly in awe of the resilience we are capable of showing and adapting to as human beings. We are born into such a fast functioning ever changing world, often times without the tools or techniques that can help us grow and move forward!

Welcome! My name is Maddie Domin (she/her & they/them), and I am a queer, Latinx, larger bodied, detribalized Indigenous social worker that is WAY too obsessed with houseplants. I grew up on the outskirts of Austin while escaping to the city as often as possible once I got my drivers license. I attended TCU in Fort Worth where I fell in love with social work after I attempted being a business major for a singular semester (that econ class did not work out). I obtained my BSW and immediately began my MSSW on a clinical track at UT Austin. After graduating and obtaining my LMSW, I worked in community mental healthcare in the Transgender Wellness Program of Out Youth working with queer and transgender young adults allowed me to pour into my community while also prioritizing my personal and professional ethical responsibilities.

Welcome! My name is Grace (She/They), and I am honored to be here with you. Finding the right therapist can be daunting. I know sifting through so many modalities and specialties can feel like a lot of jargon. While specialties and training are important, this relationship and our human connection is foundational to the healing process. I approach the therapeutic relationship as a partnership and healing as a journey. You are the expert on your life and are empowered to pick the destination. Together, we make the map, and I help navigate our expedition, offering guidance, tools, and support to facilitate healing.

My name is Noelle Prax (she/her) and I am a trauma healer and fierce advocate for my clients. Before becoming a therapist I was an Emergency Medical Technician, and often assisted with reproductive healthcare and sexual violence cases in the Emergency Room. Holding the hands of my brave patients inspired me to pursue a counseling career where I could heal the psychological trauma that interactions with our healthcare system often leave behind. I believe the connection between mind and body is fundamental in creating change in people’s lives, and if trauma has touched your story this connection may have been severed. Our bodies often give us cues like feeling overstimulated, feeling disconnected from our surroundings, or even just shutting down.
