Meet Our Providers
Jill Niemtschk, LPC-S, LCDC
Clinical Director
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging seasons. I believe healing begins in safe, respectful relationships, and I strive to create spaces where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, substance use, and life transitions. Many of the people I support feel weighed down by the past, overwhelmed by stress, or uncertain about how to move forward. My role is to provide a safe, respectful space where healing and growth can begin.
My approach integrates EMDR, CBT, and other evidence-based therapies to support healing and growth. I am committed to compassionate care and to walking alongside clients as they uncover their strengths and create meaningful change.
I understand how difficult it can be to share your story, especially when pain or uncertainty feels heavy. My commitment is to offer you a steady, respectful presence and a space where you don’t have to carry it all alone. Together, we’ll work toward restoring hope and building a life that feels more grounded and whole.

Nina Wolf, LPC
Therapist
Hello, I’m Nina Wolf, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work with adults and couples facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties. I also support individuals who are curious about themselves and want to better understand their patterns, behaviors, and emotional responses. I believe the past plays a critical role in our growth and development, and that healing from difficult experiences allows us to live more fully in the present without the past weighing so heavily.
I draw from IFS, ACT, and Person-Centered Therapy to support healing and growth. With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman tools to deepen connection and communication. I also integrate creative approaches like expressive arts and sand tray.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported and understood. Together, we can explore what keeps you stuck and move toward healing, growth, and a life that feels more balanced and authentic.
Anne Dodson, LPC
Therapist
Hello, my name is Anne, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with the South Austin Counseling branch of A New View Counseling. My journey to becoming a therapist has been shaped by more than 45 years of experience as an art teacher, school counselor, court-ordered parent coordinator, and raising my own family. (I even drove a school bus during graduate school!) Each of these experiences informs who I am and how I connect with clients today.
I work with couples, adults, and teens facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, complex PTSD, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is client-centered, focusing on helping you access your own inner resources while providing guidance and support along the way.
Reaching out for counseling can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood as we work together toward healing, growth, and positive change.
Angela Verrett, LPC
Therapist
I specialize in working with children, teens, and families to create meaningful change through therapy. With experience supporting clients facing ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), trauma, bullying, anxiety, social skills challenges, and emotional dysregulation, I aim to help each client find clarity and confidence in their journey. I also work closely with families navigating major life transitions such as divorce, blending households, loss, and grief.
Veronica Ruckh Price, LPC Associate
Therapist
In the midst of a conversation over direct message with a stranger, pouring her heart out to me about her recent heartbreak, and another about how hard his transition to college had been, and another about their relationship with their parents, and another about what it was like to come out to her family and friends, and another, and another, and another, I realized I was in the wrong field. The most fulfilling part of my career in media was the human connections I was making, and the small part I’d had in someone’s healing journey. This is what I was meant to do.
Hello! My name is Veronica Ruckh Price, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, working under the supervision of Jill Niemtschk, LPC-S, LCDC, and I am passionate about connection and the healing that comes from it.
Counseling can be an intimidating process, but I am here to create an experience that feels less hierarchical, and more like we are just two people in a room, working together, collaboratively, to piece together the puzzle that is you. That room, unlike other rooms, is completely free from judgment, and with the forever knowledge that you are the expert in your own life. I know “feelings” can be scary. And you’re right. When you’re ready (and only when you’re ready), there will be feelings. Sometimes, we’ll cry, sometimes we’ll yell, sometimes we’ll laugh – and sometimes we won’t. But we’ll try to internalize the message that something that lives inside of us has more control over us than something that doesn’t – including our feelings. So you’ll do your best to let them out and I’ll do my best to make it feel safe to do so.
Above all else, we will strive to be our most authentic selves, even if you’re struggling to know or remember who that “self” is for a time. Whether that’s because you’re a couple going through a transition and can’t get on the same page, an individual who’s experienced trauma that you’re ready to unpack, a teen on a journey through a newly realized identity, an queer person ready to come out, a queer person who’s tired of coming out, an emerging adult experiencing anxiety or depression as they go out on their own for the first time, an individual struggling with changes in relationships or friendships, someone entering a period of growth or self-reflection, or just some unknowable “other,” through emotionally focused and client centered therapy, we will get you (re)acquainted with you.
