Grace Shook, LPC —

Hi there, I’m Grace!
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Austin, Texas, and I specialize in supporting kids, teens, and adults who often feel like they’re “too much” on the inside and “not enough” on the outside. Many of my clients are high-achieving, thoughtful, and caring—and also quietly overwhelmed. They may find themselves stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or constantly feeling on edge. Often, they’ve spent years masking their struggles, unsure of why they feel different, drained, or disconnected.
I especially love working with tweens and adolescents (ages 10+) who are navigating the tricky terrain of growing up—dealing with friendship shifts, school pressure, big emotions, and the journey of self-discovery. I also work closely with adult women who are high-performing yet often struggling with suspected or diagnosed ADHD, chronic anxiety, or burnout, and who are seeking balance amidst life's demands. Together, we explore how anxiety shows up, how boundaries can actually feel empowering (not mean), and what it looks like to build relationships that feel safe, reciprocal, and genuine.
My practice focuses on anxiety, perfectionism, and the often-overlooked experiences of neurodiverse individuals, especially those with ADHD. My approach to therapy is warm, affirming, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, IFS, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Level 1). I also incorporate Positive Discipline principles when working with parents or younger children. Above all, I tailor our work to align with your values, identity, and lived experience.
I offer both in-person sessions in Austin, Texas, and virtual sessions across Texas, Tennessee, and Colorado. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the unique pressures of growing up, performing, and staying “on”—I’d be honored to work with you! All I ask of my clients is to come as you are and to be open to learning new things about yourself.
The Whole Me
I'm a recovering perfectionist, and am learning to love myself as a work-in-progress. I'm also a sister, daughter, wife, dog-mom, tía, and friend. My home is my happy place, and I strongly believe there is no such thing as having too many plants. When I am not working, you'll find me near Lake LBJ, playing with my nieces, or binge watching the latest Netflix reality tv show.
