Inclusive, culturally grounded, trauma informed therapy in Austin, TX
Cultural Refuge Counseling
A place for cyclebreakers to make peace with what you’ve inherited and choose what comes next.
You’re probably here because you’re DONE…
Carrying the emotional weight of unspoken family expectations, maybe you’re the one tasked with keeping the peace or holding it all together, but inside, you’re longing for release.
Being labeled the 'difficult', ‘sensitive’ one or maybe feel like the ‘black sheep’ or ‘scapegoat’ for challenging family norms or cultural traditions.
Feeling isolated, misunderstood, or overwhelmed by the pressure to meet family, cultural, or work expectations.
Questioning your sense of identity and struggling to find connection.
Bearing the exhaustion and trying to break free from toxic family patterns and unsure how to find your footing.
Masking your identity to please others or fit into a mold that wasn’t meant for you.
For cyclebreakers and people of the global majority challenging inherited expectations and making room for new ways of living, relating, and belonging.
Immigrations Evaluations are offered in English or Spanglish to help strengthen your immigration case covering U-Visas, T-Visa, VAWA, Asylum, and Extreme Hardship.
PC Mental Health Evaluations are offered for conditional Peace Corps Invitees. I do not guarantee approval as the Medical Officers are responsible for your clearance.
Providing you, your school, non-profit or company with trainings, speaking engagements, expert panel events and more.
I see you. I hear you. I get it.
As a cyclebreaker myself, I've walked the path many of you are on. I get it – the push and pull of culture, family, and society can be overwhelming. Throw in late stage capitalism, unfair systemic oppression and unlearning generational patterns— it’s A LOT!
You’re breaking cycles, unlearning old patterns, and creating a different kind of life, relationship, and family than the one you grew up with. That's why I'm here. As both an ally and someone who often shares the same marginalized identities as my clients, I bring a deep respect for the ways our identities, relationships, and systems shape our experiences. I’m here to walk alongside you as you make sense of what you’ve inherited, decide what you want to carry forward, and create something that feels like your own.
Adrianna (Rodriguez) Kaufmann, LPC (she/her), TX #89466
HI, I’M ADRI!
ANTI-OPPRESSIVE THERAPIST. SYSTEMS CHALLENGER + FELLOW CYCLE-BREAKER.
I specialize in generational healing, navigating complex family dynamics, and finding your own way forward between culture, family, and self.
I am here to understand your story, not define you by a label.
The difficulties we face are only a part of us, never the whole story. Most of the problems clients have addressed in therapy with me include:
growing up in collectivist culture / childhood trauma, abuse, neglect / exhaustion and burnout / racial, gender, class inequality / complicated family dynamics and loneliness / body image and self-compassion / people-pleasing / relationship problems / cultural and racial identity / generational trauma / grief and loss / impacted by death row or incarceration / religious trauma / self-discovery and identity crisis / navigating inter-racial and inter-cultural relationships /
So, what are my next steps?
✔ Schedule - Click the schedule button and choose a time that works for your free 20-minute consultation.
✔ Virtual Call - We’ll talk for about 20 minutes. I’ll ask about what you’re hoping to get from therapy, and you’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. This helps us decide if we’re a good fit.
✔ Paperwork - If we decide to move forward together, we’ll schedule your first session and you’ll receive intake paperwork. This will need to be completed before we meet.
✔ First Session - We’ll review the paperwork, get to know each other, and begin the work at a pace that feels supportive and intentional.
