Benjamin Conner Trauma To Peace Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling, LPC, EMDR, Veteran
I use a combination of evidence based practices proven over time to lead individuals from trauma to peace.
I offer you a pathway from pain and fatigue to peace and empowerment. This comes from one who has endured it. I understand trying to make it to the next minute or the next day and it seeming impossible. I was tired too. I have a different life now. I don't believe in people needing counseling weekly for years on end. Lets work together for relief. You will overcome the obstacles in your way and build skills that help you take on whatever comes next.
I understand treating these issues with EMDR, CBT, ACT and more, guiding healing for individuals and families. Working, parenting, and relationships are difficult on their own, and with trauma, anxiety, or depression in the background it can seem impossible. Treating those injuries from the past and present can change your life, strengthen your identity, and heal your relationships.
Reach out to me, lets build some trust and get some work done that makes your life and your mind feel different. We are 100% online, no need to travel, we can work with you anywhere in Texas or Utah.

Amority Health - Rachel Cooper
Therapist, MS, LPC Associate
If you’re in the loop of constantly striving to get things “right,” struggling to say no, or feeling anxious and burned out from trying to keep up with everything, it can start to feel overwhelming to maintain.
You may find yourself overthinking decisions, being highly self-critical, or feeling like you can’t quite settle, even when things are going well. Over time, these patterns can become mentally exhausting and difficult to shift.
In session, we focus on understanding what’s driving these patterns and aim to develop a more flexible, sustainable way of thinking, responding, and relating to yourself.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 26 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 46 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!

Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Figuring out how to create meaningful change in your life can feel overwhelming, especially if you aren't sure where to start. I work with and for adults to manage the daily realities of anxiety, OCD, panic, and comorbid depression. My practice is explicitly neurodiversity-affirming; I dedicate a significant portion of my work to helping adults unpack the impact of living with overlooked ADHD or Autism into adulthood. Additionally, my background as a former lawyer gives me a grounded, firsthand perspective on the unique stressors faced by individuals in highly technical, high-pressure professional fields. If you are ready to explore what therapy can do for you, we may be a great fit.

Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
You're here because you're feeling stressed, stuck, or simply wanting to grow—and I’m here to help. Together, we will navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing, so you can move through them with greater ease and clarity. In our work, your feelings, process, and perspective will be validated and supported in a safe, compassionate space. And sometimes, we don’t always see or understand what we truly need. My approach to therapy helps you develop the skills to navigate relational and emotional challenges while deepening your understanding of what may be missing and how to meet those needs. Life is already hard enough—you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to offer you a safe, skillful, and supportive space so you don’t have to.

You might feel overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or like you’re constantly holding it together for everyone else while quietly falling apart inside. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, and the lasting impact of past experiences. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be real—no pressure, no judgment. My approach is supportive, down-to-earth, and a little bit challenging when needed. We’ll explore patterns, build insight, and focus on practical tools that actually help you feel more in control, confident, and aligned with the life you want.

Christine Fatherree @ Unwritten In Stone Psychotherapy PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I believe I have 2 superpowers. One is listening and the other is being curious. These create a powerful amalgam for change when used with proven therapeutic tools. Change can be scary, but sometimes we take a step into the unknown in spite of our fear. I believe this is being brave. That is the step that can move you toward the change and understanding you want.

Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Sometimes things happen in life that we cannot stand up and keep walking like we have in the past. I help my clients take a look at what it is that has them feeling stuck and unhappy, where that might be coming from and work on the root of the problem.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I work with high achieving women, caregivers, and helping professionals who are used to being the one who holds everything together. They anticipate needs, take responsibility for other people’s emotions, and say yes when they mean no. They push through when they are depleted and keep going long after their capacity is gone.
For a long time, this worked. It earned success, stability, and connection. Until it didn’t.
Most clients come to me when burnout has turned into resentment. When relationships feel one sided. When the emotional load becomes impossible to ignore.
This is not an individual failure. These patterns are often shaped by early roles, expectations, and environments that rewarded overfunctioning and self sacrifice.
In our work together, we focus on identifying these patterns, understanding what is actually yours to carry, and building the capacity to do less without collapsing into guilt or anxiety.
This is not about becoming a different person.
It is about creating a life that feels sustainable, reciprocal, and aligned.
If you are waiting until things calm down or get worse before reaching out, that waiting is part of the pattern.
You do not have to keep doing this.

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
My clinical specialty is working with women who feel the weight of the world on their shoulders, feel like their life is at a cross roads, and are tired of spiraling. I aim to be the type of therapist I needed at points in life: present, real, patient, and a pinch of humor. My style in therapy is mainly collaborative, I enjoy meeting you where you are at and walking along side you. It's more empowering to support you finding the answers than just telling you what to do. You'll find my vibe is down to earth, nonjudgmental, warm, and encouraging. If you're interested in seeing whether we'd be a good fit, schedule a free consultation or reach out!

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
