Stress
Tab Shamsi
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP
Stress is a normal and adaptive part of life. In many cases, it sharpens focus, fuels motivation, and supports growth. Problems arise when stress is chronic, unmanaged, or disconnected from recovery, leading to exhaustion, irritability, strained relationships, and burnout. I approach stress treatment from a research-informed foundation, helping clients understand how stress functions biologically and psychologically before building personalized strategies that fit their specific demands and goals. Rather than eliminating stress entirely, our work focuses on strengthening resilience, improving recovery, and creating systems that allow you to benefit from ambition and busyness without being overwhelmed by them.

Stress
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. While many of us strive to get rid of our stress, research in psychology shows that a life without stress if fairly boring. I enjoy helping my clients reframe some of their stressors as challenges, learning how to deal with these challenges, and having success stories to lean back on to feel inherently good about themselves. If you live in a state of constant stress, we need to re-calibrate you so your body isn't constantly swimming in cortisol!

Stress
Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but how we navigate it makes all the difference. Healthy stress keeps us motivated, focused, and engaged, while chronic or overwhelming stress can weigh us down, deplete our energy, and follow us long after the stressful moment has passed. In our work together, we will explore how stress affects you physically and emotionally, develop somatic tools for regulation, and cultivate practices that support balance and resilience. My goal is to help you move through life’s challenges with greater ease, learning how to release tension, restore your energy, and reconnect with a sense of calm and strength.

Stress
Dr. Carolina Castanos, PhD, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, PHD, LMFT
Stress is a signal that we are under some sort of threat. Stress is not always bad, it is an excellent adaptive mechanism. When it is there for too long, it generalizes situations, and can be detrimental for relationships, physical and emotional health. I help discover the root cause of stress.

Stress
Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Stress becomes a problem when it is no longer temporary. Many of my clients are living in a constant state of pressure, juggling multiple roles, responsibilities, and expectations without enough support.
Over time, this does not just impact your thoughts. It shows up in your body. You may notice chronic tension, difficulty relaxing, trouble sleeping, irritability, brain fog, or a feeling of always being “on.” Even when there is nothing urgent happening, your system does not fully power down.
This is what chronic stress and burnout feel like in the body.
Rather than simply adding more coping strategies, our work focuses on identifying the patterns and expectations that are keeping your system activated. We incorporate mindfulness and somatic awareness to help you reconnect with your body, increase your capacity to slow down, and create real shifts so your life no longer requires you to operate in a constant state of overwhelm.

Work stress and life stressors can become overwhelming at times. Sometimes one doesn't want to overburden their loved ones with their stressors. Yet we all need to know how and when to ask to have our needs met. I can help with that.

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.
