Therapy in Austin for All Parts of Your Story
Being a human is exhausting. Add relationship stress, work, capitalism, the patriarchy, trauma, parenting or just existing—and it’s a lot. At Cosmic Daisy, therapy honors science and the beautifully messy reality of being a person. We blend evidence-based care with real empathy, clarity and the kind of practical support that sticks. Here, your story, identity and life experience matter. We will help you navigate hard things like trauma, loss, infertility, perinatal challenges, major life transitions and the weight of just trying to exist. At Cosmic Daisy, you can slow down, be seen and start moving forward on your own terms.

Austin Therapist
Hi, I’m Caitlin! I am the founder of Cosmic Daisy and support clients through trauma, infertility, loss, postpartum transitions and identity journeys. My work is shaped not only by my training, but also by my own lived experience with infertility, pregnancy loss and as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I know from personal experience what it feels like to carry grief, hope and the complicated emotions in between. I will meet you where you are, holding space for all the hard, messy and unspoken parts of life. Together, we will explore what matters most to you, honoring your story and supporting you as you navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels authentic and true to you.
