Andrea Rábago, MA, LMFT
Psychotherapist & certified somatic TRE® Provider
Austin TX
Before any tools or techniques, there’s the therapeutic relationship. I believe it’s the foundation for meaningful change. Getting to know you, what you're good at, and offering support that respects your wisdom is just the beginning.
After more than a decade here, I know to trust the unfolding of each moment and to never arrive with an agenda. (that would just work against us). Instead, I listen to understand what the tone of your voice, your posture, your body’s cues, your energy, and your story are saying. I listen for the why. You will give all the right clues to help us help your brain do what it knows how to do. And that is to adapt to a way of life that matches your goals for yourself and your relationships and maybe even what you want to bring into the world. Really this process is artistry. The client (you) just needs to show up and share where you're at. None of this "doing the work."
If you’re curious to see how we might work together, a consultation call is the first step. We’ll take the time to feel it out—no pressure, just presence and to see how we vibe. From there we can decide what's next. I hope to hear from you. I'll be ready.
I specialize in supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and adults living with complex trauma (C-PTSD), attachment wounding, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and relational patterns like BPD or NPD. My work is rooted in deep respect for the complexity of being human. There is nothing too much, too messy, or too tender to bring into the room. All of you is welcome.
My approach is personalized, embodied, and non-pathologizing. We might work with TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), inner child healing, IFS/parts work, shadow exploration, dreamwork, or seasonal and somatic practice to meet your unique biology, rhythms, and needs. The goal isn’t to “fix” you, but to create space for integration and where you can experience whatever needs to be felt and seen.
My own healing began with accepting autoimmune illness (T1D) and processing emotional pain that I didn’t yet have words for. That experience now informs the way I hold space: gently, relationally, and with care for the full spectrum of who you are.
If you're seeking a deeper or more fulfilling connection with yourself I’d be honored to support you.
