Welcome to enLiven Counseling and Mental Wellness, PLLC. I see adult clients in-person at my North Austin location and offer virtual sessions as well. My therapeutic approach is unconditionally accepting, warm, and inviting yet challenging to help encourage whole self awareness and a stronger mind-body connection. I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds and with a diversity of concerns but I am most passionate about helping clients deepen and restore relationships with the self and others. Many of my clients are also working through grief and loss, traumatic experiences, exploring their identity, managing anxiety and depression, and coping with major life transitions. In addition to these therapeutic goals, I have experience with individuals seeking clarity in career and college.

Counseling and Psychotherapy in North Austin
Getting silly with Dr. Patch Adams, MD
Hi! My name is Noel Gauny. Let’s get real. I’m a single mom of three, a widow, in midlife, and have navigated through career changes, and overcome numerous transitions and hardships. And I'm no stranger to therapy and healing. But this is my story and I'm here to support your journey.
Maybe you've been feeling lost, uncertain, stressed, and confused. Do you recognize yourself lately? Is there more you're searching for? Have you experienced difficulties that are interfering with the life you want? I’m here to listen. As we work together to elevate your sense of wellness and purpose, I lean on my various life experiences and empathetic nature to deepen the therapeutic relationship. My first priority is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where your whole self is invited to grow and heal. I then rely on a handful of modalities to move you forward.

I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from St. Edward's University. I also hold a Bachelors degree in English and Masters degree in Women's and Gender Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. My educational background supports a gender-affirming, sex-positive practice. I am a nationally certified counselor supervised by Dr. William McHenry (Texas / 67090). I hold memberships with Texas Counseling Association and American Counseling Association.
Outside of individual counseling, my professional background includes co-leading groups for grief and interpersonal processing. And prior to counseling, my career involved identity strengthening and coaching for international healthcare professionals pursuing advanced academic and career opportunities in the U.S. I've also worked in healthcare and teaching roles. Currently, I am completing a volunteer leadership program at my local school district to become an ambassador and actively participate in continuing education.
