Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
If you are Christian and would like to incorporate your faith into treatment, we can absolutely do this. If you have had negative experiences with Christianity and would like to unpack that, I will hold a safe space and non-judgment for you to process Church hurt. Therapy isn't about a therapist imparting their values on their clients. It is quite the opposite. It is about clients sharing their values with us and we guide you based on those values.
