Sandi Brown LCSW, ASDCS, CCTPII
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Barton College in North Carolina. I have over 20 years of experience working with children and families in culturally diverse communities.
I have extensive experience helping clients with complex needs, neurological disorders and high-risk behaviors. I utilize a child-centered, trauma-informed approach, meeting kids where they are in their journey in life. I use this as a way to explore their strengths, make a connection, and incorporate their natural abilities in their journey of growth and healing.
I am a wife and the mother of a fun-loving, twice exceptional tween. I was raised in a small farming community in Eastern North Carolina, made the journey to Los Angeles, where I experienced much of my adult life, and now landed here in North Austin. I love caring for animals, arts & crafts and cake decorating. I would be honored to explore how I can help your child and your family.

Amy Castillo LPC
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with children and adolescents to foster emotional strength, perseverance, and self-understanding in a nurturing and safe environment.
My educational journey began with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration
from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, followed by a Master's Degree in
Elementary Education (K-8) from Texas State University, and ultimately, a Master's
Degree in School Counseling from Lamar University. This diverse academic
background, combined with my professional experience, allows me to offer a unique and holistic approach to counseling.
My seasons as a classroom teacher integrated with my role as a therapist offers me a fresh approach in working with clients and their families. Whether it is navigating the complexities of adolescence, managing high-risk behaviors or piloting through life, my focus is tailoring sessions and collaborating on therapeutic plans that can be seamlessly integrated into clients' daily lives, ensuring lasting growth and well-being.
Originally from San Antonio, I have called Austin home for over 20 years. Outside of
work, I cherish spending quality time with my husband and two beautiful children,
finding joy in family adventures and creating lasting memories.

Jeana Baldwin LMSW Supervised by Tammy Linseisen ACSW, LCSW-S
I am a licensed social worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Utah and an undergraduate degree from Brigham Young University. Over the past 20 years, I’ve been actively engaged with various teen and children's organizations. This direct engagement has allowed me to gain invaluable insights into the unique challenges and needs of youth. As a therapist, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including children, pregnant teens, and teens struggling with addiction.
I'm passionate about working with children and teens, empowering them to navigate life's challenges and develop essential skills for a brighter future. In addition to my social work background, I bring a unique dimension to my practice, having taught yoga to adults, teens, and children for 20 years. I embrace the mind-body connection to promote all-around wellness, fostering emotional and physical balance in my clients. My aim is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and ultimately lead healthier, happier lives.
I grew up in Idaho but have called Austin my home for the past 17 years. I am a wife and a mother of four children. I love the outdoors and am an avid runner. I also love biking, hiking, kayaking and just being in nature with my family. The outdoors and these activities serve as a source of inspiration, offering a sense of balance and grounding in the midst of life's demands.
