Nicole Vykoukal Psychotherapy

Welcome. I am glad you are seeking support.

 

I offer individual and couples pet loss support counseling in person in Austin, TX, and online throughout Texas. I also offer a virtual Texas pet loss support group the 2nd Thursday at 6 p.m., monthly. 

 

Anticipatory grief, end-of-life decsions, saying goodbye to your companion animal, or experiencing the loss in a traumatic way can be absolutely devastating. Leading you to feel lost and unable to cope with this new reality. 

 

As a psychotherapist, I became passionate about specializing in pet loss support in 2012 while learning to cope with the death of a my own beloved companion animal.

 

With over 15 years of experience and training in trauma, bereavement, grief, the human-animal bond, and body-mind-spirit wellness, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to my practice.

 

Together, we will find ways to help you cope with and navigate this loss, honoring both you and your beloved companion.
