Hi, I am Dr. Julie Hsu. I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Austin, Texas. Currently, I am providing therapy services exclusively through video/telehealth. My specialities include ADHD, anxiety, and perfectionism. I enjoy supporting clients through transitions, including new parenthood. I also have a passion for working with women of color/global majority, Asian-Americans, and children of immigrants. My experience working with clients has affirmed that each person has inherent strengths and wisdom. I believe people are naturally oriented towards connection and growth. They just need the right space to affirm who they really are and imagine new possibilities. It’s an honor to be a part of the journey. My practice is culturally affirming and responsive. I am committed to ongoing anti-oppression learning, growth, and humility. Therapy with me is validating, grounding, and insightful. My vibe is gentle and nurturing, which I believe arises naturally from my respect and care for my clients. I’m down-to-earth and approachable. I use evidence-based practices and teach practical skills to empower clients. I believe change happens when we develop the ability to listen to what we need in the moment, with compassion. From there, awareness begins to blossom, as we start feeling more connected to ourselves and others. My specialties include: transition to parenthood, including postpartum anxiety; positive parenting support; wellness, balance, and self-compassion; work stress and burnout; anxiety, perfectionism, and overachievers; Asian-Americans, women of color/global majority, and children of immigrants; skills-based therapy for adult ADHD; and young adults and quarter-life crisis. I accept Lyra Healthcare and Modern Healthcare EAP. I am a Psypact provider and can provide telehealth across several different states, including: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia/DC, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.

I became a birth doula because I am in awe of the strength and wisdom of women. It is an honor to help you tune into the wisdom of your body, and to support your family as they learn how to support you. I help you find your breath when things get big. I remind your partner how to hold you. I help create a quiet, womb-like space—dim lights, soft sounds, warm water, and anything else that helps you feel safe, grounded, and undisturbed. I attend home births, birth centers, and hospital births. Wherever you feel safe is the right place to have your baby. My job is to help regulate the space, so that you can surrender. I offer peace of mind, solid education, and steady presence so you can meet this experience with courage. My care is personalized and client-led. I follow your rhythm. My approach is grounded in the belief that women already have everything they need within them to safely and instinctively bring their babies into the world. Whether this is your first baby or your sixth, your birth matters. Each one is a new journey, a new chance to grow and expand and meet yourself in a whole new way.

I believe that without experiencing the full range of human emotions, we do not fully engage in our lives. Therefore, you can expect me to validate your experience, yet also challenge you to allow in all thoughts and feelings, rather than spending your time and energy trying to "get rid" of the painful stuff. Rather, let's see if we can work with it to allow it to be there AND at the same time, not allow it to hold you back from doing your best and being your best. I provide a quiet, safe space in which to explore patterns of responses to discomfort and find new, more productive and life-enhancing responses to that very same discomfort. I consistently push myself as well, to learn about new evidence-based theories, consult with other experienced clinicians in the community, and to live out my professional values. I began pursuing my career as a therapist by obtaining my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating, I worked as a counselor at an Employee Assistance Program helping people solve problems that were interfering with their work and home lives. Soon after, I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to pursue my dream of working in the field of Eating Disorders treatment and began my role as a therapist at Hill Country Recovery Center, where I ran the Intensive Outpatient Program and managed a caseload of individual clients. I then transitioned to my role as a Primary Therapist at Eating Recovery Center of Austin where I worked with clients struggling with severe eating disorders doing individual, family and group work. I have received special training in Perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) Mood and Anxiety Disorders and love working with soon to be moms and new moms struggling with their transition to a new role and new responsibilities. You are not alone if you feel anxious, depressed, exhausted, inadequate and confused about how to fit a new baby into your existing life and sense of self. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas (License No. 53056).
