I’m Kate! I’m a Life + Relationship Coach in Austin, and my goal in life is to see women thriving in healthy, sustainable relationships.

I guide women through the process of uncovering unhealthy patterns, uprooting the beliefs hidden beneath them, healing the pain those beliefs have caused, and rewriting new ways of connecting with others.

Whether it be stressful friendships, family dynamics, or partnerships, I help women end the cycles that are keeping them stuck and step into their freedom.

Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
@ Kristin Shanahan Therapy

Counseling, the way I see it, is a process of self-discovery and exploration which requires an open mind, patience and collaboration between the counselor and client.

My name is Kristin Shanahan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. I support people in their desire to better understand themselves, often during times of depression, anxiety and life transitions. In a safe, nurturing environment we explore and discover your patterns of behavior and how they may hinder you from living a meaningful life.

In the therapy room, people experience me as relaxed, direct, authentic, dedicated, curious and open to laughter. It is my belief that with compassion and courage, we can experience a greater sense of well-being.

LCSW, Psychotherapist @ Flourish! Psychotherapy + Nutrition

I am so excited to be practicing mindfulness and self-compassion based therapy at Flourish! after taking a few years off to be with my family. I particularly enjoy working with women, adolescents, and new parents and utilizing attachment theory, self-compassion and mindfulness based interventions for symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and attention issues. I also love facilitating the Mindfulness Skill Development group classes at Flourish! to help clients cultivate mindful awareness and assisting them in learning how to meditate and develop coping mechanisms. and tools for our stressful modern world.

My educational background includes a MSW University of Texas at Austin and a BA in Latin American Studies and Spanish from UNC-Chapel Hill. Also, I have been studying Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), insight oriented meditation, self compassion, yoga and various forms of expressive/movement based therapies for both personal and professional development during the past 12 years. Mindfulness, self-compassion, and meditation have changed my life, and I am humbled and honored to share these skills with Flourish! clients.

Nicole Siegel is a Certified Sexological Bodyworker® and the creator of The Body Compass Method™, based in Austin, Texas and working remotely worldwide.

She works at the intersection of somatic bodywork, nervous system regulation, and relational dynamics — with individuals navigating sexual dysfunction and with couples whose intimacy has lost its charge. Her work is built on a single observation made across hundreds of sessions: that pelvic pain, lost desire, erectile dysfunction, attraction collapse, and emotional over-functioning share the same structural roots. Different symptoms. The same underlying pattern.

The Body Compass Method™ is the framework she developed from that observation. It integrates Sexological Bodywork® with erotic mapping, trauma-informed relational work, and nervous system retraining — structured enough to move things that haven’t moved, embodied enough that the change doesn’t stay conceptual.

Most clients come to her after therapy has helped with everything except this. Many have never worked somatically before.

She is the host of The Nature of Pleasure podcast, creator of the Deep Body Archive™ somatic curriculum, and author of several educational programs including Reset Your Erotic Rhythm — a structured course for couples navigating emotional over-functioning and lost desire.

She works in-person in Austin and remotely with clients worldwide.

Associate Psychotherapist @ Flourish! Psychotherapy + Nutrition

My work focuses on walking alongside adult survivors of childhood abuse, domestic/sexual violence, and couples/families experiencing conflictual relationships. I have great capacity for holding space, hope, and joy during stressful seasons. I’m not scared of what you’re experiencing and I’ll be there to gently encourage the innate desire to heal that brought you to this work. We are walking the resilient path and I believe in your ability to change and heal. It’s vital that you are the author of your own healing.

I am not here fix nor judge you. I am here to create and hold space for you. I am here to assist you in connecting with yourself, releasing what you no longer want to carry, and tapping into your innate capacity to heal and change your life.

My approach includes mindfulness, somatic therapy, attachment theory, polyvagal theory, and IFS (Internal Family Systems) perspectives and sometimes use other processing methods to stimulate change such as ETT, movement, sound and art. I hold a M.A. in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary (with honors) as well as Ph.D. in Medical Geography (a multidisciplinary field at the cross-section of socioe-environment, public health, and epidemiology) from Texas A&M and am supervised by Dr. Linda Marten, LPC-S.
