OUR STORY
Mindful Connections Counseling was established in 2021 by Rosalie Piedra, LPC, RPT. Rosalie first started her private practice in 2020 and founded Mindful Connections Counseling during the pandemic, after 10 years in the public education system. As a former school counselor, Rosalie witnessed effects of trauma and disparities in place on children and families. A major disparity that Rosalie identified was awareness of and access to quality mental health services. Rosalie grew a passion for advocating for therapy to her friends, family, colleagues, and eventually made the brave decision to mindfully cultivate a therapy practice in south Austin. Rosalie continues to focus on providing a safe and healing space for clients and therapists, spreading an awareness of what therapy is and what it looks like, and demystifying aspects of the mental health field throughout our communities.
OUR MISSION
At Mindful Connections Counseling, our mission is to consciously support each of our clients through a mindful and tailored approach to treatment. We strive to ensure we are the best fit for each client and continue to grow through consultation, professional development, and listening to you as the client. As individual therapists, we acknowledge that we are not for everyone, and really find value in cultivating our niche in our practice to help the communities we are most passionate about and qualified to help. As a practice, we honor and value the diverse identities that come through our doors, and strive to provide a culturally sensitive and inclusive environment.
