Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
If you’re looking for a therapist who can help you strengthen your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and feel more confident in who you are, you’re in the right place. I have specialized training in working with relationship challenges, sex addiction, sexual concerns, trauma, and identity-related stress, and I work with both individuals and couples who want meaningful, lasting change.
I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and support clients in a wide range of relationship styles, including non-monogamous relationships. Offering online therapy allows me to work with clients who might otherwise struggle to find the right fit.

Avery Wageman Passion Flower Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I believe that every person deserves a safe and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and accepted. Life can bring challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, but you don't have to navigate those experiences alone. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment while building the tools and confidence needed to move forward.
I take a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapy, recognizing that each person's journey is unique. Together, we'll identify your strengths, address obstacles, and work toward meaningful goals that align with your values and needs. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they discover healing, resilience, and new possibilities for their lives. My hope is that our work together helps you feel empowered, connected, and capable of creating positive change.

Shaina Peng
Counselor/Therapist, LPC Associate, supervised by Frank Cohn (LPC-S)
Hi, my name is Shaina with Sunrise Counseling Austin! I’m an insight-oriented and relational therapist in Austin, Texas.
The people I work with are thoughtful, emotionally layered individuals seeking both symptom relief and a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns underneath what they feel.
My approach is insight-oriented and active. I pay close attention to what’s happening beneath the surface and ask questions that help gently unpack emotions, contradictions, defenses, and relational dynamics in a way that feels exploratory rather than clinical or detached. I’m especially interested in the relationship people have with themselves: the parts that long deeply, protect themselves, overthink, idealize connection, yearn for growth, or feel disconnected despite wanting deeper meaning. Therapy is a space to better understand those inner patterns, build self-trust, and create relationships that feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally sustainable.

Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
I am a trauma‑informed therapist with advanced training in sexology who helps adults heal how trauma, culture, and identity shape their relationships, bodies, and sex lives. I work especially well with clients who “hold it all together” for everyone else while feeling anxious, shut down, or disconnected inside. In our work, we make room for the parts of you that have had to stay small or silent around desire, boundaries, faith, family, or reproductive experiences so you can move from survival mode toward more safety, choice, and aliveness in your own life.

El Paso's location directly on the US-Mexico border defines its mental health landscape, with a predominantly Hispanic population spanning both sides and bilingual Spanish-English therapists at the center of the city's therapy community. Fort Bliss — one of the largest Army installations in the country — creates strong demand for therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and the challenges faced by active-duty families. The 2019 mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso had a profound impact on the city's collective mental health, and therapists specializing in community trauma and grief have played an ongoing role in recovery. Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso and University Medical Center of El Paso provide institutional mental health resources for the broader Borderland region.
