Our licensed therapists create customized treatment plans focusing on emotional regulation, coping strategies, and personal growth. Sessions emphasize building therapeutic relationships to foster lasting positive change.

For any mental health professional ready to embark on the private practice journey Plumeria would be a wonderful place to begin that process. If the idea of starting a private practice excites and simultaneously overwhelms you this would be an opportunity for you to experience a thriving practice without having to manage the stress of what for some can feel like confusing and challenging administrative tasks. With a constant stream of referrals it was easy to experience a robust caseload without being distracted by paneling and billing responsibilities. Now that I have had that experience, I feel

I had 1 or 2 appointments and disappeared (other bills got too expensive and I'm a student so kinda broke at the time). I finally went back for another appointment and the therapist/counselor told me they'd follow up if I stopped appointments again, due to the nature of what was going on in my life then. I had to cancel the next appointment and there was no follow-up.

Plumeria is a fantastic resource in the South Austin Community. Michelle Zadrozny, the clinical director, has been a colleague of mine for years and is a fabulous clinician, leader and mentor. Michelle has a heart for helping others and has a wealth of knowledge of mental health as well as community resources.

Ive going to see Rebecca for several months now and its been a wonderful experience. Shes so kind and patient. Our sessions are helping out a lot and I really feel the front desk paired me with the perfect therapist. I felt I could open up to her from our first appointment because I felt very comfortable with her right away. Im so glad I found this place!

Made an appointment only to find out that therapist never works on the particular day of my appointment. I wait an hour for another (very kind) therapist who agreed to see me after her last session as I had already shifted my schedule around. It went well enough but I decided to move on. Never got a good explanation for how I got an appointment for someone who wasn't there.

I have been coming to Plumeria for about six months now. I was paired with a counselor in the student clinic and she has helped me tremendously. The price for the student clinic is really affordable and my counselor has been very professional and incredibly insightful. I would like to think that the other counselors are the same way. Whenever I see them in the reception area they always greet me with a friendly smile. I have not yet had issues with scheduling or the reception staff. They are always friendly and happy to help me figure out what works best for my schedule. I have loved my experience
