Getting to know Austin Schrag
Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me, and I have developed a clear sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths overlap with those that are most helpful for my clients. This understanding, along with extensive learning about research into what helps people find and maintain mental health, has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do:
1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things, but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work toward that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done.
2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is you came to counseling to change.
3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I believe the benefits far outweigh the costs, but if I can provide you with those benefits while helping you save on the costs, then I want to do that.
I hold a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University and a Bachelor’s degree from Wheaton College, which have both contributed to my foundation as a counselor committed to supporting clients in meaningful and effective ways.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Take-aways from sessions vary a lot depending on what brings you to counseling and where we are in the process. The thing that shouldn't change is that you will come away from session feeling understood and encouraged.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Austin gives you a different perspective on how you see things, and ask open ended questions that desire more than just a one word feedback.

I was very happy with my first visit with Austin. He seems like a very warm and caring person. He’s a great listener and I never felt judged. I quickly felt at ease, and I was able to explain what’s going on in my life. I feel like he’s genuinely interested in trying to help me. I highly recommend him.
