Zach Ramsey
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC-S, CSAT
You may feel like your life has been turned upside down by addiction, broken trust, sexual behavior, or painful relationship experiences, and many people carry trauma connected to betrayal, emotional wounds, or sexual experiences that continue to shape how they feel and relate to others. You might be living with shame, fear of losing what matters most, unstable relationships, or the constant pressure of trying to hold everything together. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what is beneath these struggles, and begin healing not only behaviors, but the trauma and patterns driving them. Recovery and healing are about rebuilding safety, self respect, and connection with yourself and the people you care about. I also provide affirming care for gay and lesbian clients and offer a space where you do not have to hide or explain who you are. If you are ready to begin addressing what has been weighing on you and start creating lasting change in your life and relationships, I invite you to reach out today to schedule a consultation.

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.

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.
