Hi, I’m Trey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Free As Can Bee Therapy. I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship struggles, LGBTQIA+ experiences, and more. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you can show up as your full self—without fear of judgment. I use evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help you build emotional resilience, clarify your values, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want. My approach is warm, collaborative, and often includes humor—because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just unsure of what’s next, I’m here to support you in finding clarity, connection, and confidence. You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s figure it out together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, the focus is on getting to know each other and building a foundation of trust. I want to understand what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to get out of it, and what’s been weighing on you. This is also a space for you to ask questions and get a feel for how I work—because finding the right fit in a therapist is important. We’ll talk about your goals, explore what’s been getting in the way, and begin to map out a path forward together. There’s no pressure to share everything right away—this is your space, and we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer picture of how we can work together to support your growth, healing, and whatever changes you’re hoping to make.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my greatest strengths as a provider lie in my ability to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story, while also offering structure and direction when needed. I’m not just here to listen—I’m here to help you move forward in ways that feel aligned with your values. Clients often tell me they appreciate my honesty, sense of humor, and how I make therapy feel approachable, even when we’re diving into difficult topics. My background in both science and social work allows me to blend evidence-based care with real-life, compassionate support. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), TF-CBT, and DBT, tailoring our work to what actually helps you feel better and live more freely. Above all, I’m here to walk beside you—through the mess, the growth, and everything in between

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I work with teens and adults because these are the life stages where identity, relationships, and personal values are being shaped and tested most deeply. Teens are often navigating overwhelming emotions, social pressures, and questions of identity, while adults may be facing life transitions, burnout, or the need to unlearn harmful patterns. Both groups are at critical points where the right support can make a lasting impact. I find it deeply meaningful to walk alongside clients during these times, helping them feel seen, heard, and empowered to build lives that reflect who they truly are.
