I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley of deep South Texas, an area of diverse people and cultures, where I became fascinated by people’s stories and experiences. After moving away from my hometown to go to college at Southwestern University, I found my most interesting classes to be in Sociology. I spent every summer working with kids, both in the U.S. and abroad, as a camp counselor and volunteer in rural communities. After college, I worked with AmeriCorps at a nonprofit in Austin for several years, where we provided shelter, hospitality, and services to people arriving from all over the world. It was a humbling job where I met the most amazing humans. There I discovered a deep passion for supporting people through difficult times, finding profound value in the simple act of listening. When I took the next step to pursue a Master’s degree in Social Work I found a way to blend my love for children with my passion for supporting people through difficult times. After 7 years working at a local children’s mental health nonprofit as a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I opened a private child therapy practice in 2019. There are many things I love about this work, but at the top of my list is the relationships I get to build with kids and their families as they grow and overcome challenges. When I’m not at work I enjoy being outdoors, baking, long road trips with my family to visit as many National Parks as we can (I’m up to 15!), and walking my rescue dog, Gunnar. https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/services daily 0.75 2026-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4426992e0e643aed6b9e19/1598468550946-CT7H8LRAQ5BUM0Q13W2A/pexels-singkham-1116050.jpg Services - Child, Adolescent & Family Therapy Childhood and adolescence are stages of rapid, intense physical and cognitive growth. It can be hard to know how to best support our children when they are struggling and growing. I draw from evidence-based theories and a deep understanding of child and adolescent development to support you and your child in moving through difficult times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4426992e0e643aed6b9e19/1598470005714-EFT3OOTMLYTB6H2XQU6P/image-asset.jpeg Services - Parenting “Parent” is one of the hardest titles that we can hold in life. And there isn’t much space in our competitive society to speak openly about the challenges inherent to this role. Oftentimes we get so weighed down by the shame of feeling like a “not good enough” parent that we don’t seek support. Parent consultation sessions allow you to speak honestly about those challenges with someone who will listen deeply, respond with compassion, and guide you toward practical solutions to restore joy to your family life. https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/fees-insurance daily 0.75 2026-09-03 https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/parent-coaching-and-consultation daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Parent Coaching & Consultation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4426992e0e643aed6b9e19/1598486256815-HWRJZ3LIQILHT1GKDYF8/image-asset.jpeg Parent Coaching & Consultation https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/child-adolescent-therapy daily 0.75 2023-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4426992e0e643aed6b9e19/1598477162787-Z0CQU107JTIJALD8J46J/adult-child-daughter-1683975.jpg Child & Adolescent Therapy - Child, Adolescent & Family Therapy Childhood and adolescence are stages of rapid, intense physical and cognitive growth. This can be challenging for both the child and their caregivers. It is also a time of incredible opportunity for deepening parent-child connections. I can help you understand what your child’s behavior might indicate, and support your child in navigating these challenges. I work with children as young as 3 years old, and up through the teenage years. My work is rooted in a deep understanding of child and adolescent development. I recognize that each child moves through the stages of development at their own pace and in their own unique way. Have questions?
