Elaine Dunn
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of professional practice working with kids, teens and adults. My approach to therapy is to help you to be seen and heard in a safe space, while collaborating to see your strengths and build connections that will serve you well throughout your journey. I have experience assisting with folks from diverse walks of life in midst of grief, loss and life transitions, managing mood disorders (like depression and bipolar disorder), moving through post-traumatic stress, anxiety disorders or acute stress and struggling with addiction. In addition to experience working with folks on their individual healing journey, I have extensive experience leading therapeutic groups and find group work to be incredibly rewarding and connective.
I utilize an eclectic mix of modalities to find the right fit for each person, and my experience includes the use of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (including mindfulness), solution-focused concepts, and I love to bring in creative ways to process and integrate experiences. I strive to meet you where you are.
In my free time, I love running and hiking local Austin trails, listening to audio books, experimenting with new baking recipes, traveling and playing outdoors with my family.

The office is located in a complex called Spicewood Forest Office Park. My building (M) is located in the very back of the complex.
*If you're heading west on Spicewood Springs Rd, there will be a short fork in the road with a left-hand place to turn into the complex (you'll cross over Spicewood Springs Rd that is heading east). If you're heading east on Spicewood Springs Rd, you'll turn right into the complex.
