Mary Ellen West, LCSW

Private practice therapist in Austin, Texas specializing in mental health counseling for children and adolescents

Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) Advanced Trainer

Being a kid today is not always easy.

Parenting can be difficult.

Sometimes we need a fresh perspective and new tools to help us cope with life’s challenges and difficulties.

I collaborate with children and their families to find solutions, boost capabilities and improve relationships.

I create a safe and comfortable space for children and teens to express themselves, discover their unique character strengths and become strong on the inside.

I work with parents to define and implement a clear and effective parenting strategy to nurture their child’s success.
