Hi! I'm Sharin, and welcome to Your Evolving Truth Therapies! Finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and I’m glad you are taking this step on the path to where you want to be. I provide individual therapy to people 16+. I named my practice Your Evolving Truth Therapies (YET Therapies) because where you are at right now does not have to be where you stay; there is a lot of power in the word YET! I am an identity-affirming and trauma-informed therapist. My areas of focus include life transitions, stress management, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss.
I strive to create a warm, nurturing, nonjudgmental space that is inclusive and collaborative, allowing us to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Using evidence-based approaches as well as humor and compassion, my goal is to partner with my clients to empower to help them to confidently navigate life’s challenges. Together we will explore stressors, limiting beliefs, and past trauma that may be impeding you from reaching your full potential, while also exploring your unique strengths and abilities. My 19 years of experience working in the school system, as a school counselor, is very helpful when I'm working with teens.
I'm Carol Hernandez, a bilingual therapist, mother, and proud Latina woman deeply connected to my culture and community. I grew up between Southern California and the Rio Grande Valley, went to college at UTRGV in South Texas and did my graduate studies at Baylor University. Over the past five years, I've gotten to work in all kinds of settings such as hospitals, inpatient and outpatient programs, and alongside medical teams, which has given me a pretty wide view of how mental health shows up in people's lives. I love working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, immigrant, and neurodivergent communities. I specialize in issues of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, big life changes, grief, post partum depression, or just feeling overwhelmed and not feeling like yourself.
I give you a space to explore, feel, question, cry, scream, cuss, fall apart, and fall together. I like wrestling with whatever it is that is coming up in your heart or mind. I am open minded and care about the burdens you carry around everyday. It's hard work to grow yourself and we can work together to create and achieve your goals. I believe your story matters and holds a lot of power in shaping your life.
I work with children, adolescents and adults in private practice. I specialize in helping people with anxiety, grief, life transitions, school issues and relationships. I am a parent and an educator, pursuing my own growth and learning. I seek to understand where you are personally and what you value. My goal is to provide a space that feels safe and where you feel seen, known and heard.
I have an extensive background in treating individuals, couples, & families. I've contributed to local & national articles on topics of relationships, families, self worth, & stress. I create a relational, connective space to help you tune into your resiliency & energy, to gain back the emotional stability you're seeking. I specialize in bringing families together, assisting you uncover barriers to rifts with one another, and helping you reconnect to a bonded unit. Hablo español!
Since 2011, I have worked with women at all stages of pregnancy and motherhood, including those who have experienced infertility, pregnancy loss or complications, birth trauma, a NICU stay and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders.
I am dedicated to providing support to parents and being a mom myself, I understand the joys and hardships!
I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from The University of Texas at Austin and I have a BS in Psychology from Texas State University.
I am a native Texan, auntie, ice cream-loving, roller skating, retired professional athlete who also happens to be a Therapist. My background in the world of mental health dates back 10 years, in my work with families of Autism, Substance abuse and misuse, Student-athletes, Life- transitions, and family therapy. I enjoy introducing people back to themselves as they unpack their past with grace and patience. If you are experiencing racing thoughts, overthinking, or people-pleasing, let our work together find the root cause and, from there, uncover solutions that work for you. I believe that therapy does not have to be "forever," and my role is to safely get you to a place of wholeness within your next quest and journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor in the state of Texas and have been practicing in the Austin area for over 11 years.
I believe every individual has incredible capacity for self-compassion, self-awareness and growth. Life is challenging and everyone needs increased support at times. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health concerns.
I am a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor, perpetually curious about your stories and perspectives. I specialize in treating individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and have a history of relational trauma. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, body positive, trauma sensitive, culturally sensitive, sex-positive, and mindful of neurodivergencies and abilities.
I love helping people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let’s be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I’ll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you’re working toward.
I am a bilingual counselor providing supportive services in both English and Spanish, with a focus on personal growth and resilience; I help individuals and families navigate life transitions, cultural adjustment, and complex grief. My compassionate guidance empowers clients to find balance and lasting emotional well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Austin
Finding postpartum therapists in Austin starts with looking for care that matches your specific needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for a prenatal depression therapist or a counselor for pregnancy before birth. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum depression counseling, or the PMH-C credential, which signals specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Austin has many therapists across neighborhoods and nearby areas, which can make it harder to narrow your options. For new parents, practical details often matter as much as specialty fit. Consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether virtual sessions fit better with infant care, physical recovery, or an unpredictable schedule. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum depression therapy, postpartum anxiety, and care for new moms.
Therapy in Austin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway makes it easier to find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can compare therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
