Austin Teen Therapy clinicians are committing to on-going Free Therapy for Survivors, specifically those impacted by mass shootings. We are reaching out to our community to join us in taking care of the rest of us.
We have initiated this campaign to fund therapy for survivors and will be offering this first to the Uvalde, Texas community in the wake of this devastation.
ATT has clinicians available who are Spanish speaking as well as clinicians trained in EMDR and other trauma modalities and grief. Through this funding we will be able to match folks needing support with clinicians of their choosing by eliminating the potential financial barrier.
Please consider supporting a survivors healing.

We know trauma work is a long process. Therefore, we are focusing our efforts on maximum impact. At the present we have enough funding to offer on-going therapy for a few people. IF funding were to run out we would not terminate services.
-
We are using the term “survivors” and intending for it’s definition to be broad. In this case we are meaning, anyone impacted.
Austin Teen Therapy is best suited to work with pre-teens, teens, and adults. Our partners Moving Parts Psychotherapy are able to help support littles as well.
The community behind Free Therapy for Survivors
a note from Austin Teen Therapy owner:
This is for community. Having grown up in Utopia I spent a lot of time in Uvalde: drinking shakes at the Rexall counter in the summers, participating in the stockshow, and getting countless chorizo breakfast tacos from that little drive thru window. I was taught that we take care of each other and that is what this offering is.
Our hearts are with you all,
Lindsay Camp
