Hello! I am Arwen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years' experience, committed to helping clients begin to live their best lives. Making the decision to seek help is a big step and is the beginning to changing the issues that are interfering with your daily life. I use a safe, holistic, compassionate, judgement free approach, knowing you are the expert of you. We all have past scars, but they do not need to dictate our future. We all have times when daily life is harder than we expected. Are you dealing with natural life transitions, the upward struggles of aging, grief/loss, lack of support, feeling sad, or just need general coping skills? I have helped folks just like you return to a more supportive and stable path in their lives, and I'm here to help you as well. My focus is to help individuals heal, self-empower, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, focusing on how together we can best meet your therapeutic goals and customizing a treatment plan is tailored to you and your specific needs. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, women’s mental health issues including infertility, pregnancy/infant loss, perinatal mood disorders, gender identity journeys including assessments & letters for gender affirming treatment & am LGBTQIA2S affirming & competent. I utilize a variety of techniques derived from CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, ACT, Mindfulness, Interpersonal & Person-Centered therapies. I am waiting to hear from you, so we can reach your goals together. Telehealth available within the States of Oregon and Washington. I do not work with families, couples or individuals under 18 years of age. I provide Clinical Supervision to CSWA's within Oregon. Please send me an email to inquire about availability.
