Karla Auten, LCSW-S

(she/her/ella)

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, board certified supervisor. I have practiced in Texas since 2010 and have experience working with several populations including Early Childhood Intervention (0-3), children and families in medical and non-profit settings, combat Veterans, and victims of physical/emotional/sexual abuse. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Level 1 certified in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Utilizing a multisystem approach ensures that healing occurs at the individual level.

I am registered with the Texas Board of Social Work Examiners as a  supervisor for master level social workers (LMSW) seeking licensure for independent practice. 

My passion as a bilingual clinician is to provide skilled and collaborative trauma-informed care. As a native El Pasoan, I understand the unique characteristics of living in a border community. I look forward to providing you and your family with competent and culturally sensitive care in a safe, affirming space.
