Shannon Stern, LPC-S, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, LMHC
Let's be real...being a woman in society has never been easy. Whether it's feeling dismissed by doctors/bosses/the govt, the pressure to be "perfect", the expectation to do it all, experiencing trauma or harassment, or more, your experience matters. Therapy can help you feel validated and supported, while addressing and healing painful moments that have affected you.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Many women are socialized to prioritize others, stay agreeable, and take on emotional responsibility in ways that are often invisible but deeply impactful. Over time, this can lead to burnout, resentment, and a loss of connection to yourself.
For many, this pattern starts early. Being praised for being helpful, selfless, or “easy” can quietly reinforce the belief that your value comes from what you give rather than who you are.
These expectations are not just personal. They are systemic. Cultural, familial, and societal messages often place women in roles where overgiving and caretaking are expected, and in many cases, rewarded.
For BIPOC and immigrant individuals, these dynamics can be even more layered. Cultural values, family roles, and systemic pressures may intensify the expectation to give, to hold things together, and to put others first, often without space to question or step outside of those roles.
Therapy is not about rejecting your values or disconnecting from your relationships. It is about understanding how these patterns developed, recognizing where they are no longer sustainable, and creating space for something more balanced and reciprocal.
Together, we focus on helping you step out of overfunctioning patterns, redefine what is actually yours to carry, and build a life and relationships that do not require you to disappear in order to maintain them.
You are allowed to exist as more than what you provide for others.

I support women navigating identity shifts, relationship patterns, trauma histories, burnout, boundaries, life transitions, and self-worth struggles. Many women I work with are healing from relational trauma, emotional abuse, or codependent dynamics. Therapy focuses on reclaiming voice, rebuilding self-trust, and strengthening internal safety and confidence.

Women's issues are so varied, they have to do with all these feelings in relationships, with parents, siblings, partners, children, co-workers. Sometimes it is hard to know how we are feeling and where these overwhelming emotions are coming from.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I love working with women, including nonbinary and trans folks. Gender expectations and rules in our society are everywhere. It's fascinating how these rules impact our sense of self, self worth, agency, and outlook on life. I often bring a feminist lens to my work with clients, no matter what topics they're exploring or working through. I also think about other intersections, such as race, ethnicity, class, ability, etc.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Women struggle with so many different challenges that are not reflective of who they are but more so of the circumstances they are faced with. We also tend to judge ourselves more and are our toughest critics. I can help you find who you are today or who you want to be today. I love doing this exercise of self-discovery to help you find your own mission statement or what is in your "pot of gold" at the end our your rainbow. With this new information we can embark on a journey that helps you live life more authentically and purposefully. This is what will ultimately lead to your best life!

I work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause by providing a supportive space to address the physical, emotional, and psychological changes that come with this life transition. Together, we’ll explore how symptoms like mood swings, anxiety, and physical discomfort are impacting your well-being, and develop strategies to manage them. My approach combines compassionate listening, stress management techniques, and self-care practices to help you feel empowered, balanced, and in control during this transformative stage of life.

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.
