Motivational Interviewing (MI)
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.

Cherilyn Schutze Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd., LPC, CCTTP, EMDR trained
I believe therapy works best when it is rooted in trust, authenticity, and honest connection. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported—while also gently challenged toward the growth and healing you are seeking.
Clients often describe me as warm, insightful, direct, and deeply engaged in the therapeutic process. I value authenticity in the therapy room and believe meaningful change happens when we are willing to look honestly at both the pain you carry and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
My approach balances emotional depth with practical guidance. I want clients to leave therapy with more than insight alone—I want them to develop the self-understanding, emotional clarity, and practical tools needed to create lasting change in their lives and relationships.
It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they do the courageous work of healing old wounds, growing in self-awareness, and becoming more fully themselves.

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.

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.

Lubbock is home to Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center — the city's largest employers and the anchors of its mental health training and clinical infrastructure — creating a therapy community shaped significantly by student mental health demand and the research programs feeding practitioners into the broader region. The city's conservative religious character and large evangelical community mean faith-integrated therapy is a prominent part of the local offering, with many therapists explicitly integrating spiritual values into evidence-based work. Lubbock's role as the commercial center for a vast agricultural and energy-producing West Texas region means it also draws therapy clients from smaller surrounding towns with no local access. Covenant Health and University Medical Center serve as the major institutional mental health anchors for the South Plains.
