About Me

Neuro Nuance Therapy and EMDR, PLLC is an EMDR-primary psychotherapy practice in Austin, TX, founded by Alex Penrod, MS, LPC, LCDC. Our practice is centered exclusively on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy as the primary modality for healing from the physiological and psychological impacts of trauma. While many clients seek our care for Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), Dissociative Disorders, and Substance Use, we treat these conditions through the specialized lens of EMDR-focused psychotherapy. Our approach integrates ego state therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) techniques to support the EMDR process, moving beyond traditional talk therapy to help adults bridge the gap from crisis to long-term recovery. With a background in high-acuity residential treatment, Alex Penrod provides structured, evidence-based care designed to break the cycle of repeated treatments. We offer free 15-minute consultations to explore how EMDR therapy can help you move from surviving to thriving.
