My name is Sapna (she/her/hers), and I’m a PhD and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate in Austin. I provide therapy via telehealth and in person to individuals, couples, and families in English.

I have over 7 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings (e.g., high schools, community clinics, medical settings, college clinics, interdisciplinary practices, etc.), working with a wide range of ages, from teens (13 yrs+) and young adults to elder adults and everything in between. I relish working with individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life, with a particular passion for supporting those with historically marginalized identities, including LGBTQIA+ communities, immigrant families, neurodivergent folks and couples, and those navigating chronic illness.

As an Indian American woman with late-diagnosed ADHD, I particularly enjoy supporting clients and couples in understanding and navigating neurodivergence, how their relationship with neurodivergence is influenced by familial and cultural messaging, and the impacts of neurodiversity on relationships. As a couple and family therapist, I bring a systemic, relational, holistic lens to our work with an affirming, culturally sensitive presence and an honest acknowledgment of intersectionality and systems of oppression.

I view therapy as a collaborative process between us. I strive to meet you where you are, honor your story and your pace, and remain open to ongoing feedback throughout our work together. My goal is for you to feel genuinely supported and empowered as we co-create the insight, tools, and change you're reaching for while writing the next chapters of your story.
