Stephanie Joos, LPC Associate

Hi, I’m Stephanie, founder and director of THRĪV Collective in Austin, Texas, and a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I specialize in helping adults navigate life challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and the lingering impact of childhood experiences on adult life. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, EMDR, somatic therapy, and interpersonal neurobiology, I create a supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to help you connect with your authentic self, build resilience, and develop practical tools to navigate life with confidence.

The holiday season can bring old emotions and overwhelm to the surface, highlighting feelings of being stuck or unsure where to turn. Finding the right therapist can feel daunting, but you are not alone. Anxiety, ADHD, or the lingering effects of challenging childhood experiences can trap you in unhelpful patterns; overthinking, shutting down, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others. These patterns are shaped not just by the past, but by the ways we learned to cope and feel safe. Therapy can help gently untangle these patterns, ease anxiety, improve focus, and support you in feeling more confident, connected, and empowered.

Therapy with me is a collaborative, integrative process tailored to you. I meet you where you are, working together to understand your needs and create actionable steps for change. I combine warmth, compassion, and professional expertise to guide you through self-discovery, emotional healing, and personal growth.

If you’re ready to feel more empowered, balanced, and at peace, let’s connect. You can email me or book a free 20-minute consultation through therapist.com or directly on the THRĪV Collective website - your first step toward a stronger, wiser, and more resilient you.
