Carissa Cano, MA, LPC-S

*All appointments will be virtual

Welcome to ATX Intuitive Connections! I am the founder of ATX Intuitive Connections, and I offer intuitive psychotherapy and clinical supervision for LPC associates.

I believe in empowering my clients to trust their intuition. The collaborative process of cultivating insight involves a delicate balance of deep listening, constructive feedback, and awareness building. Integrating a whole person approach, my goal is to help you move toward positive change and greater balance in life.

I work holistically, integrating the emotional, mental, spiritual, physiological, and neurological components while working towards the clients goals in therapy.

The most important part of having a good therapy experience is the relationship between the therapist and client.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, traveling, and reading. I also serve on the board of directors at Austin In Connection.

What it means when a therapist "holds space"

  • When a therapist holds space,
  • they create a gentle sanctuary,
  • a place where silence speaks louder than words,
  • and hearts can unfold without fear.
  • It’s like a garden, where emotions bloom,
  • where every tear, every joy, every shadow,
  • finds a place to be, without judgment, without haste.
  • In this sacred space, the therapist listens,
  • not just with their ears, but with their soul,
  • catching the whispers of your heart,
  • holding them tenderly, like fragile petals.
  • They are the calm in the storm,
  • a steady hand in the dark,
  • a quiet presence that says,
  • "It’s okay to be exactly as you are."
  • Here, time slows down,
  • and you are free to explore the wild landscapes within,
  • to wander, to wonder, to sit with your pain,
  • knowing you’re not alone.
  • This space is yours,
  • a place to breathe, to heal, to grow,
  • where the therapist walks beside you,
  • but never leads—just lights the path,
  • as you find your own way home.
