Autonomy Therapy — Local services in Austin

I've been seeing one of Autonomy's therapists, Jacqueline Robbins, for about 7 months now and only have the nicest words to describe my experience with her and this practice. I have been through ED therapy before but never on an individual basis. When I started this process, I knew I needed someone compassionate, firm, warm, accepting, and nurturing- these all describe Jacqueline to a tee. She has gone out of her way to give me the resources I need and even went outside of our sessions to do this. She has met me where I was at every step in my journey and I feel so blessed that she was brought into my life.

I also like the variety and focus on health and movement, versus fitness and body. Classes include various yogas, strength classes, barre, nutrition, Pilates, dance...movement your way. It's about time such a place...

As a registered dietitian specializing in disordered eating, I wholeheartedly endorse Autonomy therapy based on their track record of compassionate care with my clients. ED informed therapists are often tough to come by, but I know that any Autonomy therapist who sees my clients will be able to speak to these specialized concerns from an informed, educated, and experienced place, and I rest easier knowing my clients will receive positive and appropriate messaging about their relationship with food and their body. I cannot speak highly enough of the leadership. Collaborating with Kim on clients and various presentations has taught me so much, and made me a...
