I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Austin, and I help adults young and old with a wide variety of things.

I specialize in helping folks who’ve been through really awful stuff, often using the first line and mostly highly regarded trauma treatment there is, called EMDR. (See this page for more info on trauma care.)

Another really cool way I can help people is with hypnotherapy, which is useful for all sorts of regular, everyday things. Check out this page for more.

My guiding light in being a therapist is to be your therapist, offering focused, personalized care specifically for you. I believe enough in the power of what therapy can be that I’ve built my practice around being able to slow down and get in tune with what helps. Every session, every time, in every way.

I can often make next-day appointments; here's a link to all the money stuff as well as the ‘Where Are You?’ stuff. I see people during the day as well as a few evenings. I also take a few different insurances, which I know is a very big deal when seeking therapy.

Let's see what hope looks like in your life.

Is Therapy for Me? Am I for Therapy?

The most important thing I hope people get at our very first session, is that whatever they share, wherever we go...that's not weird to me. You're never alone and you're never rejected in my office.

As a male therapist here in Austin, I know I have a particular niche I can serve-there aren't many of us it seems, and some folks have their reasons for wanting to meet with a male. (I talk about the being a male therapist thing a bit more on my Frequently Asked Questions page-give it a look!)

I meet a lot of folks who’ve never done therapy before, and I also meet folks who’ve been going for years. I’d love to help you, whichever of those you are. Shoot me an email at dixon@dixon.life

Hypnotherapy

I’ll bet the first thing you noticed in this beautiful picture above taken in Newfoundland, besides the beautiful, were those two chairs and the picnic table.

I’m glad those made it into the shot, because they make a great metaphor for how hypnotherapy works: you’re able to sit back in one of those chairs, deeply relaxing, while amazing things happen out in the water, while the wind moves the clouds, and the temperate changes on your skin.

That’s hypnotherapy in a nutshell: you deeply relax here in my office, and we team up to use the superpower of your unconscious mind (in our metaphor, that mysterious force that never stops powering the wind and the waves in their perfect way) to help with things like anxiety, self-confidence, focus, pain relief, and so much more,.
