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/contact-me daily 0.75 2026-07-06 https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/classes daily 0.75 2026-09-03 https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/faqs-5 daily 0.75 2026-09-23 https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/child-family-therapy daily 0.75 2026-09-24 https://www.sarahfankhauser.com/therapy-for-adhd daily 0.75 2026-09-24
