Bridgette Werner LCSW

My therapeutic approach is deeply shaped by my attuned, nurturing, and playful nature, fostering a secure and trusting environment where clients feel seen and understood. My natural curiosity and playfulness allow you to approach therapy creatively, helping clients find unique insights into their struggles. This also makes therapy feel less rigid and more dynamic. With a holistic and individualized focus, I empower clients as their own experts, helping them access their inner resources to create meaningful change. My emotion-focused and relational style allows for genuine conversation, exploration, and self-discovery, while my supportive and non-judgmental presence encourages clients to navigate complex emotions such as shame, fear, and longing. By blending curiosity, creativity, and a belief in each client’s unique strengths, you guide them toward healing, fulfillment, and a deeper connection to their self-worth.
