The thing about counseling...
is that it helps you feel better. That’s a clinician’s job, and their training. To help you understand how your brain and body works. And to give you insight and practical ways to deal with whatever’s up. For the sole purpose of feeling better and living well. Because that’s what we’re all here for.
We believe in kindness, authenticity and compassion. That each of us deserves to be supported through life’s challenges. To feel valued and connected. To feel a sense of love and belonging.
It's always been about accessibility. And baking.
Sara Weber started Discovery Counseling in 2017. The purpose was always about helping more people get counseling, especially newcomers, marginalized folks and young adults. They were the ones who always seemed to have the hardest time getting the support they needed. Still do. That’s why we’re here.
Sara’s also a baker. An award-winning cake artist, in fact. As with baking, Sara had just the right ingredients to expand Discovery into an amazing team of more than 20 counselors in a few short years. An Austin native, Sara feels like making professional counseling accessible and available in her home city is like sharing slices of a delicious – and beautiful – award-worthy cake.
