More about Gwendolyn
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My goal as a therapist is to help people live the life they desire. Your unique story, strengths, and goals matter to me. I have 9 years of experience as a licensed clinician. During my career, I’ve worked in schools, residential treatment programs, outpatient therapy, and at a gender healthcare clinic. My practice is grounded in the principles of social justice. My clinical approach blends traditional CBT/talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based therapies. I am a flexible clinician. I believe every person is multifaceted, and my interest is in finding the approach that resonates best for you.
