Dr. Austin Newcomb

Austin Newcomb (he/him/his) is obtaining his licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Illinois. He recently graduated from the University of Mississippi, holding a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (M.Ed.). He also has a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Integrated Marketing Communications with an emphasis in public relations and minors in business and gender studies.Austin has previous experience in a variety of settings, ranging from community mental health and college counseling centers to in-patient treatment centers. He has experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, sex/relationship issues, identity, and other life challenges for individuals, couples, and families.Austin is an integrative therapist who combines various therapeutic approaches to provide personalized care. By incorporating psychodynamic, existential, cognitive-behavioral, feminist, …multicultural, and holistic therapies, he addresses clients’ unique needs and empowers them to achieve positive change. He focuses on strength-based approaches, mindfulness, and meditation, creating a nonjudgmental and respectful space for his clients. With unconditional positive regard, he fosters a therapeutic alliance based on trust, respect, and collaboration, supporting clients on their journey toward personal growth and well-being.He strives to empower and equip clients with the tools necessary for achieving their current and future goals. As Vivian Greene said, “Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain;” often, we focus on ‘fixing’ specific events or situations only for another to arise in its place. Austin hopes that through the counseling process, every person uncovers their innate ability to access peace despite any and all external events.
