About
I'm Ricky Waite (wayt), a licensed clinical Master's level Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges. Raised in Texas, I spent formative years in both Lubbock and Austin, developing an appreciation of the diverse communities within the state. I'm a big fan of spending quality time with my family, friends, and fur babies. Austin's vibrant scene offers endless possibilities, from kayaking on the river to exploring the nightlife and catching live shows. When I need to disconnect, I turn to video games or dive into the world of sci-fi. Music, dancing, staying active, & friends help me thrive. I believe that strong connections - to ourselves, relationships, communities - are essential for a fulfilling life. Therapy provides a safe space to explore these connections and develop tools for approaching life. In our sessions, you'll explore attachment styles & behaviors, relationships & communication, coping skills vs what helps you thrive, & more. I offer in-person therapy and teletherapy services to adults (18+) seeking support in the following areas: Gender Affirming Care (including letter writing), Neurodiversity, Anxiety & Depression, Life-skills Development, LGBTQ+ Identity Exploration & Support, Burnout & Work-related Anxiety, Communication & Relationship Development.
