What to expect

Practice Vulnerability.
Reclaim Your Story. Experience Healing.

We are social justice oriented in our practice and inclusive in our work within the community. Our goal is to reduce the barriers that exist to mental health support and to provide high quality clinical services to all people regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, ability and/or socioeconomic status. We use story as a mechanism for healing and help our clients make sense and take ownership of their unique narratives. We tailor our approach to the specific needs of each client so that all of our patients will feel seen, heard and valued and will be treated based on who they are rather than what they bring to our space.

who we work with

Providing identity-affirming mental health support for people of culture.

Grounded in an understanding of systemic and generational trauma, we center Black, Indigenous, Communities of Color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, first-generation professionals, and those with complex identities. We have created an intentionally diverse group of therapists and mental health providers in order to better serve BIPOC individuals in our community. We are also passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health and fostering a brave space in which all people can create healing in their lives. Beyond therapy, we nurture future mental health leaders through supervision, mentorship, and equity-driven community partnerships.

Our services may be particularly beneficial to you if you:

Have struggled to find mental health support that considers and caters to your unique background


Desire to explore and combine different therapeutic modalities into your healing journey

Are a business or organization in the community looking for mental health resources and support

our team

Empowering individuals on their healing journeys.

We created Colors of Austin Counseling to be a group of like-minded BIPOC practitioners serving the community of individuals with identities and backgrounds similar to our own. Being fully understood and seen on your healing journey is of the utmost importance, yet it can be difficult for BIPOC individuals to find trusted therapists in their community. Our diverse and experienced team exists to fill that void and provide individuals with a wide range of methods and practitioners to choose from based on their unique needs and mental health goals.
