LICENSED MASTER SOCIAL WORKER

Soielle (Medorie) Petersen-Woodburn, LMSW

(They/Them)

I am committed to assisting clients on their journey to self-actualization, free from personal and worldly pressure. I focus on a strength-based approach in client led therapy. I believe the client is in the driver seat, and it is my job to assist in reaching their destination. I am committed to creating balance within the therapeutic space where clients feel warm, supported, and empowered. I believe in assessing the ways clients are impacted by their environments and impact their environments through a social justice and trauma informed lens. 

I approach the work through an empathetic, grounded, and social justice lens. I hold a mirror to your life and together we highlight the strengths, determine and make the changes that you'd like to see, while acknowledging and addressing the present challenges. You are the expert of your life and already have all the tools within you to succeed. I just have the shovel to help you dig them out. I utilize a lot of reflection and humor in my work. I will always push you past your comfort zone, but never past your limit.
