Welcome to the next chapter of healing. My name is Seva and I am a graduate of the UConn School of Social Work. I practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC). I foster a person-centered approach and specialize in addiction treatment, personality disorders, and acute psychiatric conditions. I also have extensive experience in assisting individuals heal through complicated grief, legal histories, and complex traumatic events. I help those struggling with everyday issues such as work/relationship stress, life transitions, career counseling, and stress surrounding financial hardships. I am trained to utilize evidence-based treatments to guide you in recovery, such as Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational interviewing therapies to name a few. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, I am working through the client's goals and gathering important information about themselves that could help in understanding their current situation. The first session is also a safe space for the client to address their needs in therapy. If this is a client's first time in therapy, no worries! I am fully trained to assess and evaluate patients across all types of backgrounds and life experiences.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My style as a provider can be best described as non-judgmental, authentic, and wholesome. I allow the client to move through life on their terms. I foster an honest space for self-determination and I understand that therapy is not a one-size fits all approach. Although my style is supportive and reflective, my client is the driver and I am in the passenger seat in their recovery. I believe that no matter the adverse situation at hand, my client holds power in their life to heal and grow.
