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. I listen closely to the tone of your voice, your posture, your body’s cues, your energy, and your story. These hold the clues to what matters most. Together, we create space for your brain and body to move toward a way of life that reflects your goals, your relationships, and what you want to bring into the world. This process is less about effort and more about presence. Your role is simply to arrive as you are and share what feels important. My role is to listen deeply and be alongside you. If you’re curious about working together, we can begin with a consultation call. It’s a chance to connect, sense how it feels, and decide if this is the right step for you.
I specialize in supporting Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and adults navigating complex trauma (C-PTSD), attachment wounding, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and relational patterns such as BPD or NPD. My work is grounded in deep respect for the complexity of being human. Nothing is 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 may work with TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), inner child healing, parts work, shadow exploration, dreamwork, or seasonal and somatic practices that honor your biology, rhythms, and needs. The intention is integration and creating a space where what needs to be felt and seen can emerge safely. My own healing path includes living with autoimmune illness (Type 1 Diabetes) and learning to process emotional pain that I once had no words for. This experience shapes the way I hold space: with care, gentleness, and respect for your full humanity. If you are seeking a deeper connection with yourself, I would be honored to support you.
