Pre-Licensed Professional
Accepting clients Last Updated 3 days ago

Are you having challenges lifting the weight of everyday life? Would you like to experience transformation but not sure how to begin? Are you ready to cultivate peace in your life? Have you lost a sense of intimacy with yourself or others? LET'S TALK!

I am a firm believer in the connection between mind, body and spirituality. I am passionate about incorporating somatic healing into the room and am currently training as a Yoga instructor. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. When working with couples or families, I tend to incorporate the Gottman Method or the Internal Family Systems approach. I am interested in partnering with individuals, couples, families as well as small groups. My therapeutic style is direct and I often float between therapist, coach and educator.

I am currently accepting BCBS, Cigna, Aetna as well as self-pay. With an expertise in trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, sexuality and grief, I am intentional in helping others to find balance!

Taking that first step towards healing can be hard, but you are worth it! I will walk you through the therapy process and gladly answer any questions you have. If you would like to set up an appointment please email me at: serenapyhw@gmail.com. I look forward to meeting you!
