Aileen Dwight
You can feel better, reconnect with others and create the life & relationships you desire. One of the most caring actions you can make for yourself and your loved ones is seeking help. If you are at this point, please know that with the right guidance, new insights & skills, and a trusting relationship, therapy (short term or long term) can help.
My background also includes professional experience in business, corporate sector, Biotech/Pharma, military, and healthcare prior to becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

First session
Kaiser insurance clients will meet via Grow Therapy's video platform. Please complete your intake forms and screening tools (PHQ9 and GAD) which are sent to you, PRIOR to our session, ideally a week prior to our meeting. Kindly make sure you are in a private confidential area (room, car, etc), and that your phone or PC has proper connectivity and is still (not moving around and walking when on screen. Our first session is like a 'conversation' and I'll ask you what brings you to seek therapy and to learn more about your needs and expectations. Having your screening and pre-intake completed will save us time and give us more ability to talk and help you readily upon our first meeting. This is also an opportunity for you to ask me questions and to see if you feel comfortable in a match with working together.
Strengths
My therapeutic style is personable & interactive (with a bit of humor ; ). Clients have expressed I have an engaging, at times irreverent, warm and compassionate approach. In addition to 17+ years of clinical experience, I believe that the right fit of therapist to the client is VERY important, in order to feel safe, respected and to facilitate change. I can also incorporate holistic approaches and respect if you would benefit from additional referrals, such as acupuncture, meditation, specialized group therapy, nutritionists, and so forth. As a Clinical Social Worker, I have extensive knowledge of specialized resource referrals to further assist you and your family - culturally appropriate resources, specialized group therapy support, financial, supplemental reading, online resources.
