Sarah Sustaita
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, LPC Associate, LPCC
You understand what’s going on, but your body didn’t get the memo.
You may feel stuck in patterns of pain, shutdown, or overwhelm that don’t match what you know.
I work with individuals (ages 16+) navigating chronic pain, trauma, dissociation, and long-standing stress. Many of the people I work with have already done a lot of thinking about themselves or tried therapy before, but still feel caught in how their body continues to respond.
I help bridge the gap between insight and embodied change. Together, we focus on understanding how these patterns live in both the mind and body, using approaches that support nervous system regulation, processing of unresolved experiences, and increased connection to your internal signals. Through this work, clients often begin to experience shifts not just in how they think, but in how they feel and respond on a day-to-day level.

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!

Nick Young
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-Associate
I provide trauma-informed counseling for teens and adults in Fort Worth and throughout Texas who are working through trauma, PTSD, anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-doubt, and painful life experiences. Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward, even though they are doing their best to keep everything together.
My approach is warm, collaborative, honest, and grounded in Existential-Humanistic, Person-Centered, and trauma-focused counseling. I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel seen, supported, and accepted without judgment. Together, we will explore what has shaped you, what is keeping you stuck, and what kind of life you want to create moving forward.
As a Marine Corps veteran and former coach, I bring a deep respect for resilience, courage, discipline, and the effort it takes to keep going when life feels heavy. My goal is to help you rebuild confidence, strengthen self-trust, reconnect with your values, and take meaningful steps toward healing, growth, and a more grounded and authentic life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Jacqueline Maye, LPC-S.

Renew Restoration
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
I became a therapist because I understood, early on, what it felt like to keep moving when something underneath wasn't right. That experience shaped how I see people, not as problems to fix, but as individuals who adapted to what life asked of them.
For over seven years, I've worked with people who are capable, driven, and often very good at holding things together, while quietly carrying something heavier beneath the surface. Burnout. Disconnection. A persistent sense that the life they've built doesn't quite fit who they are anymore.
That's the work I care most about. Not just helping people feel better, but helping them understand themselves, the patterns, the adaptations, the survival strategies that made sense once and may be costing them now.
I wrote The Secret Life of Silent Suffering because I wanted to name what so many people experience but rarely say out loud. That same thread runs through everything I do: therapy, training, speaking, and education for other clinicians.
I believe healing is possible. Not as a return to who you were before, but as a gradual movement toward greater clarity, freedom, and alignment with who you actually are.
