Find a therapist in Austin, TX — covered by insurance

Hi there. I’m Shelby White, LCSW, an attachment-focused therapist who sees individuals and couples in-person in Austin, Texas and virtually throughout Texas and Tennessee.

You may be highly self-aware and outwardly successful, yet feel disconnected, unseen, or stuck in old relational patterns. Like many of my clients, you may be experiencing all the confusion that comes with healing from narcissistic abuse or attachment-based trauma and yearn for more than tools to “do better”. My goal is to provide you with a space to be fully known.

I work with successful professionals and creatives seeking deeper connection, emotional freedom, and a life that feels aligned—not just productive.

If you’re ready to break out of old patterns that were developed to keep you safe in the past, you’re in the right spot. Together, we can forge a path toward the version of you that you’ve longed to become.

I offer deep work for people ready to live fully.

I opened the Anxiety Treatment Center of Austin in 2012 after serving as the Anxiety Specialist at the Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin. My 30 years of clinical experience has spanned a wide variety of roles and settings; however, from day one, it has included cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders and a commitment to providing treatment that is backed by research.

I currently have in-person, walk-and-talk, and virtual availability on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.

Therapy with me is about co-creating a hearth - a therapeutic space for warmth, restoration, and growth along life’s journeys. I work with individuals and families who have experienced the effects of anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, relational trauma, and complex trauma. These effects often leave us in chaotic cycles of either burning things to the ground or feeling cold and alone. I also am passionate about working with neurodivergent folks (ADHD and Autism) who have maybe felt outcast in their search for connection. Together, we rest and reflect on whatever creating a warm home means to you.

My personal interests include:

• Songwriting, recording, and listening to any music that tells a story with lyrics or sound
• Hiking, camping, and kayaking
• Anime, manga, fantasy, sci-fi, and story writing
• Open world and JRPG video games
• Swimming, soccer, football, and sailing
• Board games and table top roleplaying games (TTRPGs)
• Cooking, traveling, and brewing delicious coffee.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a magazine editor, an English and writing teacher, and an assistant adjunct professor of American literature. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from Mills College, a Master of Arts in English from Portland State University, and a Master of Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I have an eclectic style that integrates SE, IPNB, narrative therapy and parts work.

My name is Trendolyn Davis-Klutts a LPC in Dallas, Texas. I enjoy encouraging and guiding individuals to help them reach recovery and stability within their lives. I have worked within the mental health field for 11 years. I had the pleasure to work with individuals with different mental health disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar I Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and other areas where people are affected based on mental concerns, or personal life changes.

I strive for creating the conditions were humans can regain their curiosity, hope, and a new interactional perspective of themselves. Having also also known love, generosity, tolerance, respect and solidarity. I reject the need for cynicism: under the right conditions one can comfortably adhere to the unconditional confidence in the human potential for self-understanding, tolerance and positive change.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent nine years as a teacher, where I discovered how powerful compassion, patience, and understanding can be in helping others grow. Later, my work in psychiatric and residential treatment settings gave me the opportunity to walk alongside individuals and families during some of their most difficult moments. Those experiences shaped me into the therapist I am today—someone who values safety, trust, and genuine human connection above all else.

Working in treatment centers taught me how to meet people exactly where they are, without judgment. I learned to listen deeply, to hold space for pain, and to help others find calm and strength even when life feels overwhelming. These experiences strengthened my ability to support clients through trauma, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges, and to help them rediscover their resilience and sense of empowerment.

My approach is holistic and person-centered, and I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where you feel safe to be yourself. Together, we’ll work at your own pace, exploring your story and building tools to help you heal, grow, and move toward a greater sense of peace and balance.
