    Trauma Therapy + EMDR

    Trauma shows up in nervous systems, relationships, and everyday functioning — whether or not it meets a clinical diagnosis. Our trauma-informed care blends relational talk therapy with EMDR, mindfulness, and body-based practices to help you safely process traumatic memories and build a stronger sense of safety in your body and relationships.

    We offer both ongoing trauma + EMDR therapy and EMDR intensives in person in Austin, Texas.

    Play Therapy

    Child-centered play therapy uses play (the natural language of children) and the therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent environment. This enables a kiddo to experience full acceptance, empathy, and understanding and to process inner experiences and feelings through play and symbols. The big picture of play therapy is to empower the child to befriend all the parts of themselves. (Center for Play Therapy)

    Parent Coaching + Parenting Workshops

    Parenting feels hard because it is hard. As therapists trained in child development and as parents ourselves, we offer practical coaching and workshop presentations for parents around all types of concerns. From sibling rivalry to supporting anxious kids, we can problem solve our way through parenting, together.

    CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia)

    For so many of us, sleep (or the lack of it) is an underrated and often chronic problem. Trained by the University of Pennsylvania Behavior Sleep team, we offer CBT-I specifically for insomnia and other sleep issues. CBT-I is considered the first line of treatment for insomnia, with halo effects in anxiety, depression, post-partum issues, and peri/post-menopause.

  • Couples Therapy

    Couples therapy at Wild Oak offers a steady, compassionate space to slow down and make sense of the patterns that keep pulling you apart. We work with couples who care deeply but feel stuck in cycles of conflict, distance, or mis-attunement. Using a relational, trauma-informed approach, we help partners better understand their nervous systems, name the old wounds showing up in the relationship, and practice new ways of reaching for one another with clarity and care. This work is not about blame or fixing one person; instead, it’s about strengthening connection, rebuilding trust, and creating a relationship that feels more grounded, responsive, and alive.
