Shae Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas and founder of Night Sky Counseling. Shae earned her Masters of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling through Southern Methodist University. Before that, she obtained her Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Texas Tech University.
Shae is an empathetic counselor who allows for a nurturing environment, and a place for clients to feel accepted, heard, and allowed to experience all of their feelings.
Shae approaches counseling from a collaborative, client-centered perspective that emphasizes authenticity, trust, and the therapeutic relationship as essential components of meaningful change. She believes clients are the experts of their own lived experiences and works alongside them to identify goals, increase self-awareness, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, emotional regulation, and coping.
Her approach integrates empathy, unconditional positive regard, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and emotional distress. Shae recognizes that each individual’s experiences, coping strategies, and responses to stress are shaped by their personal history, environment, and relationships, and she tailors treatment to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Rather than offering quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions, Shae focuses on helping clients build insight, strengthen resilience, improve emotional functioning, and develop practical tools that support long-term growth and healing. She understands that the therapeutic process can be challenging at times and that meaningful progress often involves navigating discomfort, vulnerability, and change.
Shae is committed to creating a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the counseling process. Through collaboration, compassion, and clinically informed care, she strives to help clients move toward greater self-acceptance, emotional wellness, and a more fulfilling life.
