My work centers around those that identify as LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, and/or beautifully complex misfits just trying to find their place in a complicated world. Many are navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, or relationship challenges in systems that weren’t built for them. Many are exploring & living polyamory or kink, or are simply trying to find their place in a world that expects conformity. Many are experiencing life transitions like peri/menopause or aging. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings warmth, humor, and radical acceptance, you found her.

SaraBeth Austin, Perfectionism & Burnout Therapist
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, DARTT, RYT

I help stressed, burnt-out perfectionistics learn how to chill out and enjoy life. Whether you're a high-powered tech worker or healthcare professional, it’s exhausting to feel like you’re always ‘on’, performing, or wearing a mask. Too much self-control, or "overcontrol", makes it difficult to relax, be present, and meaningfully connect with others. Overcontrol can lead to anxiety, depression, disordered eating, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and loneliness. You don’t have to struggle alone–I’ve been a therapist helping neurodivergent/neurocomplex, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and other overcontrolled folx get unstuck for over 12 years.

You might be the one everyone turns to—at work, at home, in crisis—yet inside, you’re running on fumes. Maybe you’ve always been “the sensitive one,” or your mind never seems to turn off. You plan, analyze, and push through, but still end the day feeling anxious, depleted, or like you’re falling short. You might even know what you should do to feel better, but actually finding peace feels out of reach. Whether you’re a parent, healthcare worker, or someone moving through a major life shift, you deserve a space dedicated to you where you can slow down, untangle it all, and finally feel like yourself again.

Struggling to navigate career pressure, family expectations, and health stressors while yearning for balance and clarity?
Hello! My name is Dr. Divya Bhagavatula, I am a licensed clinical psychologist and I'm passionate working with AAPI & BIPOC adults who struggle with anxiety, stress, and health concerns. My clients often feel overwhelmed juggling day-to-day demands.

I help clients in their decision-making to make meaningful long-term change.

I have had the opportunity to work with different communities and I have learned a lot from my clients. My approach to psychotherapy is to help my clients understand their conflicts by getting at the roots of their wounds, so they are able to treat themselves with self-compassion and healing. The goal of therapy is not only to unburden the pain one carries but also to help transform the inner negative beliefs and cultivate radical self-love. My style is open, curious, and humorous.
