About Kassandra Petr | Attachment Therapist in Austin

Relational Therapy in Austin, TX 78746 | Now accepting new clients for Spring 2026

Hi, I'm Kassandra, Your Relationship Therapist.

I am passionate about healthy relationships.

Every part of my professional training has centered on relationships: how we connect, communicate, and find balance when things get hard.

Whether it’s couples, families, or parents and adult children, I help people understand the patterns that keep them stuck and build the safety needed to create lasting change.

Schedule a Free Consultation

You need someone who understands your relationship.

Therapy with me is experiential, collaborative, and direct. We won’t just talk about change, you’ll practice it in the room. Together, we’ll look at what’s fueling disconnection and how to build connection again, one honest conversation at a time.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I’m calm but clear. I’ll meet you where you are, and when it’s needed, I’ll gently challenge you to see things from a new perspective. My goal is to help you leave each session with more understanding, more confidence, and a clearer sense of next steps.

Me outside of therapy.

Most days, you’ll either find me coffee in hand and a book not far away or outside walking the nature trails. I love getting lost in a good story, and being in nature is where I tend to find my calm again. Every now and then, I’ll dust off my woodworking tools and spend an afternoon creating something with my hands. There’s something grounding about slowing down and letting the process guide you. That’s also what I hope to help you experience in therapy. More presence, more patience, more connection.

If you’re ready to take a step toward a steadier, more connected home or relationship, I’d be honored to meet you.

My availability: In-person therapy in Austin, online for Texas residents.

My Approach

Emotionally Focused Therapy

I believe that for relationships to be great, we also have to feel great. A deeper understanding of our emotional system helps us to relate and interact in new ways. EFT helps us tune into our automatic patterns so we can respond differently.

For me, EFT has been life-changing. It has shaped the way I understand and work with my own emotions, taught me how to regulate them, and how to show up in my relationships. I would not be the therapist, or the person I am today without it.

Internal Family Systems

As people, we have many different aspects or “parts” of ourselves, each with its own feelings, perspectives, and ideas. Some parts carry pain or vulnerability, while others take on protective roles, often responding in ways that made sense before but may now create challenges.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps us develop curiosity and compassion toward these parts, leading to deeper understanding and healing so we can respond to life with greater balance, clarity, and resilience.

Systems Based

We do not exist in isolation. Our relationships and environments shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Systemic Therapy looks at the patterns and dynamics within families, couples, and other systems to understand how they influence our behavior and emotional well-being.

By exploring these connections we can identify recurring cycles and find new ways to communicate and relate that support growth and healing. This approach helps create healthier relationships and a stronger sense of belonging within the systems that matter most.
