About Us
We are psychotherapists and resiliency builders here to support you on your Connected Heart journey.
Connected Heart Therapy
Connected Heart Therapy was founded by Wendy Byrd and Robin Landers, two licensed therapists in Austin, Texas. After years in private practice, they know how complicated and overwhelming it can be to find the right therapist. They combined their practices and set out to find only the most caring, dedicated and accessible therapists to build the Connected Heart Therapy care team. Connected Heart Therapy combines the best of traditional and virtual therapy to make getting help easy and convenient so you can focus on what’s really important: healing.
