S. Louise Tedford, PhD

I’m a licensed psychologist located in Austin, Texas. My approach is strengths-based with a focus on helping clients recognize and develop their positive values, abilities and qualities. I have fourteen years of experience working with a variety of concerns such as anxiety (including selective mutism), depression, anger, noncompliance, defiance, impulsive behavior, trauma, parenting, and family relationships. My work draws on my training and experience in therapy styles including: Cognitive Behavioral: Develop more realistic and helpful thought patterns and improve coping skills Family Systems: Build healthier patterns of family interaction and communication Interpersonal: Better understand and relate to others. My interventions are tailored for the concerns of my clients, and I often work with parents in addressing the needs of the family.
