Uniquely You Therapy of Austin provides compassionate and relatable therapy for children, teens, families, and individuals in Austin and across Texas.
In an inviting, safe, and confidential environment, I build trust and respect as I work collaboratively to stabilize symptoms of self-destructive behavior. I help you or your loved one cultivate resilience by developing coping strategies and an enhanced self-esteem.

Children, Tweens, & Teens
Do you remember your elementary/middle or high school years? For some they bring back memories of joy, but for others those memories are filled with pain, dread and struggle. Being a “kid” or “teen” now is even harder due to the social and cultural world around them as they figure out who they are and where they belong. One of the first steps I take in working with my clients, is I look at the client’s social and emotional intelligence/skills and work to help build techniques that help the client manage situations that cause issues for the client. With younger clients the parents are more involved in helping the client use these skills and techniques in their daily life.
A therapy session for my younger clients involves the child, the child’s parents and myself working through the struggles the child is experiencing at the time. The younger the client the more involved the parents are due to the child's cognitive abilities and social emotional learning skills.
With Tweens and Teens, parents are not as involved in the sessions until the last 10 minutes. Typically, after 3 or 4 sessions with the client, I will invite the parents in for an entire session to discuss what the client's parents are seeing of the client at home so I can gain a bigger picture of behavior and plan future sessions accordingly.
Issues seen during Adulthood:
Stress
Anxiety
Struggles in Relationships
Figuring out who you are and the path you want to be on
Women and Moms
Have you ever asked yourself who am I and where do I fit in this picture? Being a woman who juggles different roles and tasks while trying to stay present in her daily life is often difficult, no matter if you are college age or an empty nester. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding and most challenging jobs at the same time. No one tells you that as we grow into motherhood and adulthood that your path isn’t always clear. With these uncertainties, you may struggle with heightened stress and anxiety, or even depression or a feeling of loss and confusion.
Issues seen with Parenting & Families
Setting Boundaries
Behavioral and Mood Challenges
Loss of Control
Inconsistent/Weak Parenting Skills
Communication Issues
Parents and Families
Have you found yourself yelling at your kids and know you are yelling out of frustration? Somehow no parents were given the perfect parenting manual for each of their children, which means trial and error and what works for one may or may work for your other child/children. I work with parents to strengthen their relationship with their child/children. I help parents learn how to set boundaries by taking the power struggle out of their relationship. Using Emotion Focused Family Therapy, parents can acquire the skills to connect with their children in a healthier way.
With me, parents have a safe place to discuss their worries and fears for their children and learn not to let that control their interactions with their kids. We can openly talk about how to strengthen the relationship with all family members, how to set boundaries, and how to manage the behavioral and mood challenges their kids often experience.
