SHANNON STERN, LMHC, LPC-S

I am a board-certified licensed mental health counselor and supervisor who provides individual therapy to adults and young adults in Massachusetts and Texas. I grew up in the Greater Boston area and moved to Austin, TX in 2020. 

 The therapeutic relationship has the ability to foster growth, insight, and healing. I utilize a strength-based and person-centered approach in therapy, and believe in finding what’s most effective for you to promote positive life changes. 

​

I draw from my training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to incorporate skills-based learning into sessions, while focusing primarily on providing an accepting and nonjudgmental space for you to feel and understand your emotional experiences. 

You will find I use warmth, humor, and a focus on somatic experiences to make therapy connecting and integrative. I offer EMDR therapy for those who wish for further processing and symptom relief.  

​

My specialties include anxiety, mood regulation, eating disorders, clinical supervision, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

​

 All are welcome at my practice.
