As a neuro-divergent person with multiple diagnoses myself, I can offer insight and empathy towards many of the struggles children and parents may bring into the therapy environment.
Nin is a compassionate and motivated therapist with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their families. Since beginning her practice in 2022, she has drawn upon her seven years of experience as a teacher and school counselor to offer specialized support to children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. This includes navigating school 504s and IEPs, accommodating house chores and school work, strengthening struggling friendships and other relationships, and the rarely-discussed emotional struggles of ADHD. As ADHD frequently coexists with other challenges, Nin has experience in supporting individuals with comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, autism, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and more. She is also trained in EMDR for trauma-care should that appeal to her clients. Parent coaching is one of her specialties and most enthusiastic endeavors, especially for parents of neurodiverse children. Nin helps parents discover strategies that promote healthy relationships and thriving families.
Nin’s approach is relational (1.5/2), multi-culturally informed, and flexible, always adapting to meet the unique needs of each person she works with. Her work is grounded in a belief that every individual is worthy of understanding, respect, and care, no matter their culture, religion, or personal expression. She strongly believes that everyone deserves a space where they can feel seen and supported, without judgment. She also incorporates meditation and mindfulness techniques, and the occasional nature walk or spiritual discussion if desired.
“I will not rescue you, for you are not powerless. I will not fix you, for you are not broken. I will not heal you, for I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light.”

My go to approach for treating depression is CBT. I prefer CBT because it supports development of perspective which is often absent and can identify tasks client can engage in to increase a sense of agency.
I teach the following tools in depression counseling: mindfulness meditation, making gratitude lists, life review or timelines, developing an exercise or walking routine.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they voice positive anticipation for more activities or events, when substance use declines, when the individual starts to seek out more social contact.
Clients can supplement their time in depression counseling with exercise, doing community volunteer activities, taking more time out of the house or school.
To prepare for you first depression counseling session, you can give yourself permission to express your feelings genuinely, bring a list of things that used to or sometimes give you pleasure or a sense of accomplishment.

Just the word, “Bipolar” can feel very scary to people. This form of depression is often call manic depression because those are its two poles: mania and depression. When people have the illness, they swing from episodes of frenetic energy to episodes of deep depression. Bipolar Depression is a severe mental illness, and when people have it, their behavior can scare themselves and their family members. Often, the hardest part of having the disorder is before a diagnosis is made. With a diagnosis and treatment, people who have Bipolar Depression can often begin understanding what the disease is doing to their mind and bodies. People may then find the treatment they need to live the life they want.
The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Cedar Park have worked with many clients who are struggling with Bipolar Depression. We understand how the disorder attacks an individual’s life, and we understand the many treatment options that are available. Reach out today for help.
Learning about what Bipolar is and how if functions may help people come to a better understanding of what is happening in their lives. Bipolar is an illness that can cause chaos in an individual’s life, but behind the chaos, there is a recognizable pattern to the disorder. Understanding may be the first step in healing. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) gives the diagnostics for recognizing both the depressive and manic phases of Bipolar.
In the depressive phase, people will often feel empty, weepy, sad, and hopeless. They often experience disinterest in their daily lives, responsibilities, and activities. The depressive phase will also have at least three of the following symptoms:
These will be present for most of the day, on more days than not, and for a two-week period to be a depressive stage. As difficult as depression is, it is only one of the challenges that Bipolar Depression introduces into an individual’s life. The other phase is mania. This phase can include either a frenetic euphoria or irritation. The DSM-5 gives further diagnostics:
Just like other serious illness, treatment for Bipolar Depression often requires the supervision of a mental health professional. Skilled therapists can help people find a diagnosis and treatment plan, but this is often only one piece of the puzzle. It may also be important for people to…
