Courtney Loyola
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Becoming — Not Broken.
You've found yourself researching 'Am I a narcissist?' in the middle of the night, you have constant questions as to 'How did I get here?' and 'Why do these things keep happening to me?' You've lost someone very close to you and now you are spinning out and can't seem to find your feet. You keep repeating patterns that bring the same people into your life and leave you in pieces after they've left. You're ready to change, you just don't know how or where to start.
I believe healing is not about fixing what’s wrong with you, but uncovering the strength and resilience that have always been there. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, or deep grief. Together, we create a safe, grounded space where painful experiences can be processed and integrated — not avoided. Our work is centered on helping you reconnect with your voice, your clarity, and your capacity for secure relationships.

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.

Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

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.

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!

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
When people begin therapy, they are often carrying far more than anyone around them realizes. Beneath the anxiety, exhaustion, overthinking, shame, conflict, or loneliness is often a person who has spent years trying to survive, hold everything together, meet expectations, and remain strong for everyone else. My work as a therapist is rooted in helping people reconnect with themselves beneath those survival strategies.
I believe healing happens most deeply through authentic human connection. While insight and coping skills are important, lasting transformation often occurs when people feel truly seen, emotionally safe, and no longer alone in their experience. My approach to therapy is relational, compassionate, grounded, and integrative. I draw from attachment theory, somatic approaches, existential therapy, mindfulness, and relational-cultural frameworks to help clients better understand not only their thoughts, but also the emotional and nervous system patterns that shape their lives and relationships.
As both a therapist and counselor educator, I have spent years helping people navigate shame, trauma, grief, identity struggles, relational pain, anxiety, burnout, and the quiet sense of disconnection many people carry beneath the surface. I work especially well with individuals who are insightful and self-aware, yet still find themselves repeating painful patterns, struggling to trust themselves, or feeling emotionally stuck despite “knowing better.”
I do not view people as broken. I see symptoms as intelligent adaptations to pain, loss, fear, and unmet needs. Therapy is not about becoming someone else. It is about coming home to yourself with greater compassion, honesty, courage, and freedom.
My hope is to create a space where clients can slow down, breathe, explore their inner world without judgment, and begin building a life that feels more authentic, connected, and sustainable. Healing is not about perfection. It is about learning to relate to yourself and others in ways that bring greater wholeness, presence, and aliveness.

Amy R. Teel
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-Associate, NARM, SE Trained
Therapy with me is relaxed, collaborative, and grounded in genuine human connection. You do not have to show up perfectly or have everything figured out before starting. I offer a supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you are carrying at your own pace. If you are looking for therapy that feels warm, approachable, and real, I would be honored to connect with you.

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.

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.
