Meredith Bauer

Meredith Bauer is a licensed social worker in Texas with more than 15 years of practice supporting families and older adults. She earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. Much of her work has taken place in healthcare settings where she assisted families coping with crisis and with the ongoing demands of chronic and life limiting illness.

Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting, sleep difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas listed include caregiver stress, hospice and end of life counseling, chronic pain and illness, blended family dynamics, and communication issues. Meredith takes a practical, solution-focused stance while drawing on client-centered principles and cognitive behavioral techniques to address current challenges.

She frames therapy as a joint venture in which she and the person she is working with define goals and practical steps for managing life more successfully. Outside of practice she is a wife and a mother of three college-age children and cares for multiple dogs, which informs her perspective on family life and caregiving.
