Dianne Fish

Professional Counselor - Austin, Texas

Are you overwhelmed or stuck because your old ways of coping aren't working anymore? Let's explore your concerns from a holistic perspective to help you take charge of your life and feel more balanced. I help men and women with stress and anxiety, emotional reactivity, mood swings, impulsive and addictive behaviors. When life feels empty or you have lost a sense of meaning, I will help you identify actions to explore, transform, and grow into your fullest potential.

Life is full of change and challenges: the kids move out, you have problems with your mate, work demands go up, a loved one is ill or dying, bills pile up and your workplace is laying off workers - the possible list is endless! When you are out of balance, life changes and challenges feel overwhelming. When you take steps to become more centered and calm on the inside, these events become much more manageable.

In my own life I discovered the power of using mind / body approaches such as yoga and breath techniques to help me feel more steady and calm; to allow me to work effectively with high intensity emotions; and to help me choose my actions rather than have them "choose" me. I am passionate about helping others identify the changes they want to make and to find the appropriate mix of tools to master their challenges. As your counselor I draw on a blend of modern talk therapy along with ancient yoga and breath techniques when appropriate.

I am happy to answer your questions.

I LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU!
