Chronic Pain
Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Living with chronic pain or a medical condition often changes more than just your body. Many people find themselves managing energy carefully, anticipating flares, and feeling pressure to explain or justify symptoms to others. Over time, the nervous system can stay braced, which can increase both emotional distress and physical sensitivity.
Therapy does not assume symptoms are “all in your head.” Instead, we work with the connection between the body and stress response system. By gently processing past medical experiences, fear around symptoms, and the ongoing effort of coping, your system can begin to feel safer and less reactive. The goal is not to deny the reality of your condition, but to reduce the constant vigilance, fear, and isolation that often accompany it and help you regain steadiness in daily life.

Chronic Pain
Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Illness and chronic pain feed our sense of hopelessness and depression - and then depression makes our pain worse. We can break this cycle and find ways to work with our pain and our thinking, to find more joy and connection in life, even if we don't know the direction our illness is going.

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 substantial 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.
