You just can’t keep going on like this.
Life feels like it’s just too much, and you need to see some changes.
-
You’ve been repeating the same patterns for years, and nothing you do seems to help. Reminders of your past seem to come up at every turn, and when they do, it’s like you’re right back in the moment. You want to be able to control your reactions in these moments but sometimes it just feels impossible to break out of the cycles you’re in.
-
Maybe you used to be so close, but lately, it feels like you’re drifting apart. You keep getting stuck in the same arguments, and it's taking a toll on your relationship. Or maybe you're wondering if it’s possible to rekindle the love and understanding you once had.
-
You can’t stop the spiraling thoughts that throw off your whole day no matter what you try. You find yourself fixating on things and can't let them go, which makes you even more frustrated. Maybe your anxiety keeps you from feeling present and creates physical symptoms like chest pain or stomach aches. You’re ready to find relief but don’t know where to start.
-
You’ve been taking care of everyone else, constantly pushing your needs to the bottom of your to-do list. You feel guilty doing anything for yourself, because that’s one less thing you can do for someone else. You know this isn’t sustainable for you, but you feel like things will fall apart if you take something off of your plate.
Maybe you…

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The And Way?
The And Way is a therapeutic model created by Kelsey Blahnik, LCSW-S, our group practice owner and founder, that helps individuals heal internal polarization to navigate external conflicts. Rather than forcing people to choose between connection and conviction, The And Way teaches clients to hold both values simultaneously through assertive peacemaking. The model is grounded in the principle that self-healing is world-healing—to mend what's broken between us, we must first mend what's polarized within us.
What makes The And Way Therapy different from other practices?
We integrate specialized training, lived experience, and evidence-based care under one roof.
The And Way model is designed to cultivate psychological flexibility, which is essential for both OCD and trauma recovery. It supports clients in holding complexity, uncertainty, and discomfort while moving toward values-based action — a core skill set in ERP, ACT, trauma processing, and long-term healing.
Our practice stands out because:
The following clinicians are EMDR trained for trauma: Kelsey, Ruth, Riana, Vanessa, Kate, Reagan, Sally, andGogi
We use gold-standard OCD treatments, including ERP, ACT, and I-CBT
Our clinicians know how to differentiate trauma symptoms from OCD symptoms
We offer care in both English and Spanish
Several of our therapists have lived experience with OCD
Our practice owner is an ASWB Nationally Approved CE Provider who trains other clinicians nationwide
Our practice owner created The And Way model to build core skills for long-term healing for both OCD and trauma recovery
We have IOCDF-approved providers
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor treatment to your diagnosis, history, nervous system, and goals.
What ages do you work with?
We work with adults and adolescents, and we tailor treatment approaches to developmental stage, family context, and symptom presentation.
Do you offer therapy in Spanish?
Yes. We have bilingual therapists who provide OCD and trauma treatment in both English and Spanish, including ERP, ACT, I-CBT, and EMDR.
We believe language access is a critical part of ethical, high-quality care.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and are committed to making high-quality OCD and trauma treatment accessible.
If you’re unsure whether your insurance is accepted, our intake team is happy to verify your benefits. Click here to contact our team.
Do you offer in-person therapy?
Yes. While many clients choose online therapy for convenience and flexibility, The And Way Therapy also offers in-person therapy with Sally Reyes, LPC-A, in Austin, TX, and Gogi Hale, LPC-A, in Dripping Springs, TX. Availability may vary by therapist, so we recommend reaching out to ask about current openings and whether in-person or online therapy is the best fit for you. Click here to contact our team.

You will immediately receive a message back requesting insurance information or any other outstanding info we need to make a determination for which therapist would be the right match. Our process involves thoughtful clinician matching based on specialty, insurance, language, and preferences
After receiving your insurance info, we will check benefits. In the meantime, we will either call you or send you a link to get scheduled for your first appointment.
Once scheduled, you will complete online intake forms and put a credit card on file in order to hold the appointment.
You will be notified of your expected responsibility (a quote if insurance-based or a Good Faith Estimate if you are self-pay).
You will complete an intake session and begin your therapeutic journey.
