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.

Carol S Sepulveda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, Registered Play Therapist
Play is our first language. Just as adults use words to communicate, children use play. When playing, we express thoughts and feelings that might otherwise remain hidden. Play Therapy is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Play is a natural process that builds trust, fosters acceptable behaviors, regulates emotions, reduces anxieties and elevates self-esteem.

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 substantial 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.
