About Kinga Kasprzyk,
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Austin, TX
I'm Kinga Kasprzyk (cusp-SHICK), licensed professional counselor practicing virtually in Texas and Illinois.
I believe that human connection in and of itself can be healing. I want you to find the courage to live your most fulfilling life, even when it's hard.
My Therapeutic Approach
I place importance on developing a strong therapeutic relationship with you; a relationship that encompasses clear communication and healthy expression of emotion.
I'm down to earth, and I do a good job of making people feel at ease. I do enjoy using sarcasm and humor where therapeutically appropriate. I especially enjoy working with clients who don't know where to begin or what to talk about.​​
My approach is active and direct. I won't let your non-verbal communication go unnoticed, and I will compassionately call you out on actions that contradict your stated values. I use this engaged style with powerful, evidence-based methods like EMDR and PRT to help you get to the root of the issue.
A Little More About Me
In my free time I snuggle with my furbabies, explore Texas with my life partner, try new recipes, and sometimes dabble in painting or creative home projects. I have three sisters and seven nieces and nephews. I'm curious about dreams. I often journal my own dreams and try to interpret their meaning, and I enjoy helping others assign meaning to their dreams.
​​​​​I'm happiest when I'm surrounded by good company and delicious food. I really enjoy meeting new people by interacting with my community, and I look forward to meeting you!​​
