Girls from about 8 to 25, from elementary school through college. For younger girls, parents are a big part of the work too.

Because girls deserve people who really get them. Growing up as a girl comes with its own mix of friendships, body changes, school pressure, and big feelings. Shayna Barksdale, LCSW-S, has spent more than 30 years working with girls and their families, and every therapist on our team chose this work because they love it.
Yes! Glow Girl groups run in the fall and spring. They’re small groups of up to 8 girls, and they’re a great fit for girls with social anxiety who could use some practice and some friends who get it. In August we run summer camps: Courage Camp for 4th and 5th graders, plus two Glow Girl transition camps for girls heading into middle school and into high school. See what’s coming up on our Groups & Workshops page.

We’re a private-pay practice, so we don’t take insurance. That lets us focus on your daughter instead of paperwork. Many families pay with an HSA card. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, we’re happy to give you a superbill to submit for reimbursement.
Fees vary by therapist, based on experience and specialty, with an average of $175 per 50-minute session for individual or family therapy. Groups are $100 a session. Most groups run 8 sessions, paid in two payments of $400, at the 1st and 5th sessions.
Give Brook or Allie a call at 512-981-5279, or send a message through our contact page. If your daughter is 13 or younger, we like to meet with parents first.
