Austin Knott
STaff Therapist, LCSW
(Pronouns: She/Her/Hers)
I’m Austin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Navigating young adulthood can feel like a rollercoaster, full of twists and turns that can be overwhelming. I'm here to offer support through these challenges, whether they are relationship dynamics, boundary setting, increasing confidence, or processing life stressors.
Along with young adults, I specialize in working with newly licensed therapists. I have a unique understanding to the challenges of transitioning from school to practice. I use a Person-Centered and Psychodynamic approach along with Acceptance and Committment Techniques.
Navigating young adulthood can feel like riding a rollercoaster, full of twists and turns that can leave you feeling overwhelmed. I'm here to help support you through these challenges, whether it's dealing with relationship dynamics, boundary setting, increasing confidence, or processing life stressors. Along with young adults, I specialize in working with newly licensed therapists; I have a unique understanding to the challenges of transitioning from school to practice. My approach is all about you—I use a Person-Centered and Psycho- Dynamic approach along with ACT.
I would describe my style as warm, authentic, and humorous (if I do say so myself). My approach is conversational and relational. I believe therapy can be a meaningful and even enjoyable journey where each person feels safe, heard, understood and validated.
Although contacting a therapist can feel scary, it is a huge milestone toward feeling better. Please reach out for (free) consultation at any time and I will get back to you shortly. I look forward to the chance to support and empower you!
