Do you feel overwhelmed with the demands of your daily life? Does your relationship bring more frustration than happiness? Tired of having the same arguments over and over again? Does your teen have problems getting along with others? My name is Payton Mueller, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I am ready to be a part of your journey. I have a Masters of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi with a special focus in Marriage, Couple and Family Therapy. I am Gottman Level 1 certified for couples counseling, and I have a passion for working with teens, young adults, families and couples.
I am from New Braunfels Texas and I have lived in Austin for about 3 years. Outside of the counseling office I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, playing golf, going to the river and listening to live music.
You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your
worthiness.

My Approach
I have experience in working with diverse populations and presenting concerns, such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse trauma, relationship and family issues, and grief. I use a variety of counseling techniques, such as solution-focused therapy, family systems, and Gottman Level 1, to meet the unique and specific needs of my clients.
My passion is to help people overcome their challenges, achieve their goals, and improve their quality of life. I value empathy, compassion, and collaboration, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients. As your therapist we will collaborate to help you and/or your partner reach your goals. Together we can work towards developing a more fulfilling
and meaningful life.
Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the
light.
-Albus Dumbledore
