Meet Kelly Dunn

Welcome to Uniquely You Therapy of Austin. Iā€™m Kelly Dunn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). You will find Uniquely You a different type of therapeutic environment. It is a place where I strive to create a partnership with you, your child, or your loved one.

For more than 13 years, I worked in school districts in both Houston and Austin, interacting daily with children directly in their environment, often the very environment that creates the feelings of stress and anxiety that lead to my involvement.

This unique background has given me the ability to build rapport with my clients and help them work through the issues that are stifling their joy, success and creativity.

I have been in private practice for the last 8 years and am excited to start my own practice.

I always believe that the client is #1 and strive to create the type of environment where the client feels safe to work through his or her challenges, whatever they may be. A positive and fun environment fosters a relaxed and open one.

During therapy, I will determine the best therapy method for you. It is often based on or a blend of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy to help you effectively navigate life's challenges.

Outside of my practice, I am a wife, a mom of two teenagers and two yellow labs, Ames and Charlie. I enjoy spending time with my family, working out and being out in Austin.
