Relationship & Sex Therapy for High-Performing Lives

Welcome. I’m Amy Palmer, LPC, CST, an Austin relationship therapist and Certified Sex Therapist through the Sexual Health Alliance. I work with high performing individuals and couples, including executives, entrepreneurs, physicians, attorneys, and leaders, as well as professionals, creatives, and committed partners from all walks of life who want deeper connection, stronger communication, and fulfilling intimacy at home.

My work includes helping couples navigate desire differences, repair trust after betrayal, renegotiate intimacy and address sexual health concerns that impact confidence and connection. I also support clients facing high-conflict dynamics, communication breakdowns, anxiety, identity development, life transitions and the relational stress that often accompanies leadership roles.

My approach is trauma-aware, culturally competent and affirming. I integrate Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create practical strategies and deeper emotional shifts that lead to lasting change.

With a background as a mental health practitioner in the U.S. Air Force and experience in public relations prior to becoming a therapist, I understand both the clinical and real-world pressures my clients navigate. As a parent to a neurodivergent child and someone with lived experience in divorce, co-parenting, grief and non-monogamy, I bring grounded perspective alongside professional expertise. Many clients share that they appreciate not having to educate their therapist about non-monogamy, kink, neurodivergence or gender diversity.

If you’re seeking relationship or sex therapy in Austin and want a sophisticated, confidential space to have honest conversations about love, intimacy, and partnership without judgment, I’m here to help.
