At the Relationship Counseling Center of Austin (RCC Austin), we know that good relationships are important to living a full, happy, and satisfying life.

That includes having a good relationship with yourself, as well as good relationships with others!

Being in relationship is about being connected to the important people in your life, such as your spouse or partner, your children, your family, your friends, and your co-workers. It's also about knowing yourself well - understanding your behaviors, reactions, needs, desires, hopes, and dreams - and being aware that your happiness is also a key part of having satisfying relationships and connection with self and others.

Research shows that we are "wired" for connection and relationship!

When our relationships with important people in our lives become unsettled or turbulent, we can feel off-balance, unhappy, confused, or a host of other feelings and emotions.

The counselors at RCC Austin work with individuals, couples, adolescents and teens, and families to accompany you on your journey to hope and healing when you need some help to get your life and relationships back on track.

Call the Relationship Counseling Center of Austin at 512-270-4883 for scheduling, or complete the information on the Scheduling Page, and an RCC Austin counselor will be in touch with you within 24 hours.
