Welcome! I'm Bianke Gadsden, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping individuals overcome the shadows of depression and anxiety. My journey in mental health has led me to specialize in two distinct areas: supporting young adults navigating the complex terrain of PTSD rooted in childhood trauma and supporting those who face major life adjustments due to medical/physical disabilities or the challenges of aging. As a seasoned clinician I bring empathy, understanding, and evidence-based interventions to the therapy room. My mission is to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for individuals struggling with the impact of childhood trauma (or) complex PTSD, that often results in feelings of depression and anxiety. My commitment extends to those facing life-altering changes brought about by medical conditions or the aging process.
Our initial meeting is a collaborative journey, where we explore your unique story, set goals, and establish a foundation of trust. I prioritize creating a space where you feel seen and heard, laying the groundwork for a therapeutic alliance built on understanding and empathy. My priority is to make you feel validated and empowered to take control of your mental health.
Empathy, active listening, and a client-centered approach are at the core of my practice. I believe in fostering a non-judgmental space where individuals can express themselves authentically, leading to a deeper understanding of their experiences and underlying factors contributing to distress.
I use this evidenced based treatment to help individuals understand and change the thoughts and beliefs associated with traumatic experiences.
I use this widely used treatment modality to help individuals focus on the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
I use this treatment to reduce stress, regulate emotions, increase self awareness while enhancing the mind to body connection.
