Trenton Kowalczuk,
LPC Associate

You’ve reached a level of success that others admire, but despite all your accomplishments, something still feels off. The constant drive for perfectionism, the relentless pressure to perform, and the weight of responsibility are all taking a toll. You find yourself awake at night, your mind racing, yet no matter how much you achieve, it never seems like enough. You’re holding everything together, but deep down, you feel alone—disconnected from the support and closeness you crave.

As a high-achieving man, you’re used to pushing through, but this struggle doesn’t have to be yours to carry alone. I know this journey firsthand, and I’m here to help you navigate it. Together, we’ll work to create real change—not through more hustle, but by fostering genuine connection with yourself and those around you.

My approach to therapy isn’t confined to the typical four walls. I offer in-person, virtual, and nature-based walk-and-talk sessions, providing you with the flexibility and space to explore new perspectives. Through embodiment practices, education, and trust-building, we’ll break down the barriers to vulnerability and rediscover your strength through it. This isn’t about fixing—it’s about realigning with your authentic self, finding balance, and letting go of the need to carry the weight alone.

It’s time to set aside the pressure and embrace the possibility of change. Schedule a free consultation with me, and let’s start building the life you truly want, one where success includes fulfillment and connection.

Additional Clinical Interests

• Parent Coaching: Children make extensive efforts to feel part of a community, with the immediate family being the most valuable. When a child feels discouraged they engage in what we adults call “bad behavior”. My aim is to help you understand the goal of your child’s behavior in order to help them develop more socially useful ways to feel connected.

• Nature-Based Child/Adolescent Therapy: By combining parent coaching with nature-based therapy sessions, you and your child can engage in learning experiences that extend beyond the four walls of the counseling office. We can explore your experiences and understand the goal of your child's behavior. After learning and implementing new skills, you will experience increased peace and reduced stress.

• Chronic Pain: Pain is often the result of hiding from our fears, weaknesses, and frailties. If we want to move past our struggles, we have to develop the skills—and the courage—to call them by name. The brain cannot fix a problem it is not allowed to acknowledge. Through psychoeducation, meditation, and somatic movement, you will learn how to identify your own psychological guarding patterns and where they live in your body.

• Anxiety: You feel like you’ve done all you can, but something still feels off. Part of you feels like it shouldn’t feel like this, but it does. Together, we can identify the social, cultural, and intrapersonal factors influencing your experiences. We will work together using mindfulness and somatic movement to better understand your experiences with anxiety. In doing, you will be able to more fully enjoy the life you want to live.

Professional
In whatever stage of life I am in, one thing has remained constant: my insatiable curiosity about how the body moves. I guided personal training classes while I was in the Navy, and became a certified yoga instructor while in college. As a recreation therapist, I help kiddos and young teens advocate for themselves using movement as medicine. I use a blend of coaching, education, and most importantly, trust-building to help clients reach their goals. 

Personal
At the heart of my therapeutic practice is a dedication to fostering holistic well-being in high achievers and adolescents. My approach is defined by a blend of somatic movement and mindfulness, informed by my current roles at Carlisle Collective and Austin Oaks Hospital. Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, we tailor individualized treatment plans, leveraging my competencies in communication, treatment planning, and community engagement.

My transition from a military veteran to a mental health professional has imbued my practice with a deep-seated commitment to service and discipline. This journey has refined my ability to guide clients through stress, anxiety, and the pressures associated with high expectations. My mission is to empower individuals towards resilience and self-awareness, supporting their path to a balanced and fulfilling life.
