Trina Bolfing

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Your story matters. I want to hear it. Relational & collaborative, trauma-informed therapy for individuals, couples, families, & co-parents.”

About Me

I offer a truly collaborative space. Here, individuals, couples, families, and co-parents can openly share their experiences. We work together to explore relationship patterns and navigate challenges with a trauma-informed approach. This gentle, structured process helps you build stronger connections and find healing after difficult events. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and equipped to move forward.

Approach

I hold a listening stance that gently steers our time toward clarity and safety, paying attention to how your relationships, identity, and stress show up in day-to-day life. In Austin or online in English, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—short check-ins, focused exploration of patterns, and practical steps you can try between meetings. I use relational and trauma-aware methods to help regulate strong emotions, trace interaction cycles, and strengthen decision-making during transitions. This approach tends to suit adults, couples, parents, and families seeking grounded, respectful change.
