Renee Austin Trauma Therapy North Dallas Pllc

Renee Austin is a licensed professional counselor with a profound understanding of the intricacies of trauma woven through the fabric of human experiences. She recognizes that trauma is often perceived as a singular, large-scale event, but in reality, it encompasses complex, multifaceted experiences that may include failed attachments to caretakers, instances of abuse or neglect, and ongoing distressing events encountered throughout life. Renee emphasizes that the most unsettling aspect of trauma lies not merely in the event itself but in how individuals perceive these events and the internalized negative core beliefs that develop as a result. Her areas of expertise include PTSD, dissociative disorders, conversion and functional neurological disorders, women's issues, domestic violence, traumatic break-ups, cult defection, and codependency. Additionally, Renee possesses extensive experience working with individuals who are partners of addicts, abusers, and those with personality disorders. As a Certified EMDR Trauma Therapist by EMDRIA and an EMDR Consultant in Training, she expertly utilizes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—recognized as one of the most effective methodologies for alleviating symptoms stemming from trauma.
