Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. Many of my clients have stated that coming to therapy has helped to catapult them out of their stagnation - enabling them to reach their full potential. For clients who have had difficulty finding a therapist who can understand their complex and intersecting identities, I can be a breath of fresh air. I work with folks ages 15 and up.

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.

Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
My work is especially helpful for people who have already done therapy and can explain their patterns — but still feel stuck inside them. Many of my clients are thoughtful, self-aware, and capable in their daily lives, yet their nervous system stays on alert. They manage, analyze, and hold things together for everyone else, but it’s exhausting.
I focus on helping change happen at the level reactions actually live, not just at the level of insight. Alongside EMDR, I use attachment-based and parts-oriented work so we can understand the protective strategies your mind developed and help your body learn that it no longer has to stay braced. Therapy with me is collaborative and steady; we move at a pace your system can tolerate rather than forcing breakthroughs.
Clients often tell me the difference they notice is that they don’t just understand themselves more — they feel less on edge in everyday situations. The goal isn’t to become a different person. It’s to stop having to manage yourself all the time.

Tina Nickels
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Some might describe me as mature or wise. I have a colorful history full of life experiences and I have the ability to connect with people on their level, whatever their experiences may be. I love to empower people, especially women. I know life can be overwhelming, and I have techniques to help people create and utilize coping skills that will work for them. Some people just need to be heard, and I am an excellent listener.

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.
