Today we have a wonderful new friend, Mary Kate, on the podcast. She is a Catholic marriage and family therapist in the Austin area. She shares with us the social crises that pre-teens and teens go through when moving from one stage of development to the next and how this effects their identity development. We talk about gender confusion and how as family and friends we can support teens in these stages. Mary Kate is a wealth of knowledge and a lot of fun too. We get to hear the story of how she met her husband and how she came to live in Texas.
