Because as individuals we change over time, so do the ways we function in our relationships. Relationships can feel different in year 5,12, or 35 than they did in the beginning. In many ways relationships can get easier over time, but sometimes they feel like more work than we expected. We may think, “my partner has changed,” “I don’t know how to communicate with them anymore,” “I want this to feel how it used to feel",” or “how can we make this work?” As people with constantly evolving identities in an increasingly complex world, I’m not going to lie to you…it can be difficult to maintain a happy and healthy relationship. I’ll share a secret, though. I’ve seen it done time and time again by people who are motivated to aspire toward a better life together. Improving your relationship or marriage is not only possible, it’s almost guaranteed for people committed to the process. Are you ready to improve intimacy, change the way you handle conflict, rebuild trust, or map out your next big adventure together? You can do these things! I’m sure of it. I also want to acknowledge that not everyone is looking to improve their relationship or grow old together. Some people are simply trying be friends again, amicably uncouple, or be the best coparents they can possibly be. I am happy to help you achieve these admirable goals. Whether you are dating and wanting to talk about next steps or premarital counseling, married and wanting to improve your communication, in midlife and wanting to re-imagine the second half of your life together, or trying to discern whether remaining together is what’s best for you, I provide an affirming space for all couples— straight and gay, young and mature, religious and secular, traditional and unique, or anything in between…I believe in acceptance for all. When you are ready to change your relationship for the better, I’m here to help. Give me a call for a free consultation even if you may not be sure you’re ready for therapy as a couple. I am happy to determine if I can help or if other options might better serve your goals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5947cc9caed41cc589e11f/1603143635937-XXV750FWR2NVLUVPKYPW/image-asset.jpeg Seeking Change? - Want to make changes in your life? Change is one of the constants in life, and finding ways to relate to that change can make a huge impact on our day to day happiness. Sometimes change happens to us, and we may struggle to adapt to that change— we experience an unexpected breakup, we encounter job loss, or perhaps we lose a pet or loved one. Other times we feel ourselves changing in some significant way for the better or worse— we feel ourselves outgrowing a job or longing to launch a new career, we experience unwanted sadness or anxiety, we yearn to change our relationships, or we simply feel “stuck” and want to do something about it. No matter where change is occurring in your life, I am here to help you relate to those changes in ways that will help you carve out the kind of life you want to live. Everyone deserves to have someone in their corner who will listen without judgement, help them take steps toward the things they want out of life, and celebrate accomplishments. I’m here to help you get started, begin again, or complete your dream. https://www.integrativetherapyoftexas.com/services daily 0.75 2022-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5947cc9caed41cc589e11f/1604642696697-D514DN8KT56CVLF528HV/image-asset.jpeg Individuals & Relationships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5947cc9caed41cc589e11f/1604643286587-6RTR8M1HYQ45386ZDBFP/image.jpg Individuals & Relationships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5947cc9caed41cc589e11f/1651206306880-9GG09N115HX1ZXTXSY6S/unsplash-image-5HsCIUSeq7Q.jpg Individuals & Relationships https://www.integrativetherapyoftexas.com/gallery daily 0.75 2023-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5947cc9caed41cc589e11f/1604623160339-OQ8T8L9FFQW008LQFUKL/Jessica+Moore+Smaller+_Jonathan+Garcia_South+Congress_Austin_2020-08-29+1230pm_1598910370_rec3Fd01FtYnvly8k_0_3+copy.jpg About the Therapist & Practice - About Dr. Jessica Moore I hold a doctorate in Interpersonal and Family Communication from the University of Texas at Austin and am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have integrative health training from Duke University Integrative Medicine as well as the Stanford University Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

Prior to opening a private practice, I was a professor for more than 20 years and taught courses on Interpersonal Communication, Relational/Family Communication, Sex Communication, and Health Communication, among others.

Integrative therapy is a progressive form of therapy in which the therapist combines therapeutic techniques to meet the needs of each unique client. In essence, it’s therapy that is tailored to fit the specific and evolving needs of each individual, couple, or family. Where do you see clients? I primarily see clients in my office in the Northwest Hills area of Austin and online through virtual therapy sessions. I also see a limited number of clients outdoors at select natural areas in and around Austin. What is walking therapy? Walking therapy is a form of eco-therapy that take place outside, often while walking a predetermined path for the duration of the appointment. I offer walking therapy in the Austin area and am happy to discuss the potential to move your sessions outdoors. Walking therapy can be wonderful for many clients, but it’s not appropriate for every person or circumstance. What are your rates? 50 minute sessions at Integrative Therapy of Texas range from $150 for individuals to $225 for couples and multi-person sessions. Sliding scale therapy services are also offered, and special rates are offered for self-sustaining college students and those who may be experiencing financial hardship. Do you accept insurance? Integrative Therapy of Texas does not process insurance claims on behalf of clients, but we are happy to provide documentation necessary to request reimbursement from your insurance company. https://www.integrativetherapyoftexas.com/book-a-consultation daily 0.75 2020-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5947cc9caed41cc589e11f/1604676699150-Q8RZ4SH3P3KGHB7HM1L6/image-asset.jpeg Groups & Courses - Groups.
