We provide supportive, individualized psychotherapy for highly sensitive and empathic adults who may feel deeply affected by emotions, environments, and interpersonal dynamics. Our approach helps clients better understand their sensitivity as a strength while also addressing challenges such as emotional overwhelm, boundary-setting, stress reactivity, and burnout. Through evidence-based strategies and a validating therapeutic space, we work with clients to develop regulation skills, strengthen resilience, and create balanced ways of engaging with the world that honor both sensitivity and well-being.

Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
A Highly Sensitive Person is someone who feels deeply. If you consider yourself a HSP, you may experience emotions on a deep level, have heightened sensitivity to certain sights, sounds, smells, and textures. This can also mean you feel things deeply in relationships with others, and are often influenced by the emotions of others. Therapy can be helpful in learning more about this superpower, without it overwhelming you.

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
Highly sensitive individuals often experience emotions, environments, relationships, and stress more deeply than others. While sensitivity can be a tremendous strength, it can also lead to overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, or feeling misunderstood. Therapy can help highly sensitive individuals better understand themselves, regulate emotional overload, establish boundaries, and embrace sensitivity as a gift rather than a weakness.

Heather Curry
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
People who identify as highly sensitive often notice and process more than others around them. You may pick up on subtle emotional shifts, feel overwhelmed in busy environments, or need more recovery time after social interactions. Over time, this sensitivity can start to feel like a flaw rather than a trait, especially if you’ve been told you are “too much,” “too emotional,” or “overthinking.”
In therapy, we don’t try to remove sensitivity. Instead, we help your nervous system feel less constantly overstimulated and develop boundaries that don’t require shutting yourself down. Sensitivity can become more manageable when your system no longer stays on alert and you no longer have to analyze everything to stay safe.

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.
