Child/Teen
Sydney Fowler
Counselor/Therapist, MT-BC, LPC
I work with adolescents (ages 12 and up) who may be experiencing trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or behavioral challenges. I prioritize building strong rapport and creating a space where teens feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Treatment is tailored to each individual’s needs and often incorporates creativity to support expression, engagement, and emotional processing. Therapy focuses on developing coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing self-awareness, with caregiver collaboration when appropriate.

Child/Teen
Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Let's face it, being a kid or teen is hard. Overwhelming emotions, little to no coping skills, feeling like "no one gets it". At the base of being a kid or teen is also opportunity. Opportunity to learn, to grow, to seek understanding, and feel validated. Kids and teens are my jam and I'd love to help you re-connect with yours.

Therapy for minors is considered case-by-case. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help direct you to appropriate referrals; parent support sessions may also be an option.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
