Gretchen Knight-Dennis, LMSW

 

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a deep-rooted commitment to healing and empowerment specializing in trauma and women’s mental health. Led with compassion and supported by over a decade of experience in this sphere, I am honored to serve as a therapeutic companion, guiding clients through their unique paths to healing and wellness. I believe in collaborative care and walk alongside while providing insight. You can expect a blend of empathy, understanding, and most likely laughter in every session.

Throughout my career, I have supported individuals navigating the unique, diverse and sometimes unexpected landscapes of their lives. I have spent years honing my skills and expertise in
trauma-informed care, specializing in evidence-based  interventions that cultivate healing and holistic well-being. Whether addressing feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or navigating the complexities of relationships and self-care, my goal is to provide practical tools and personalized guidance to foster healing and growth. With genuine warmth and empathy, I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where women can share and heal without judgment. Understanding the complex interplay of hormonal changes, societal pressures, and personal expectations, I empower clients to embrace their evolving identities and find strength in vulnerability. 

​

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, validation, and empowerment. I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of collaboration within that relationship. I offer an environment of trust, compassion, and non-judgment where healing can flourish. I
draw upon a diverse range of modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), mind-based interventions, and trauma-focused treatment. Through a collaborative and strengths-based approach, I work hand-in-hand with clients to explore their unique experiences, identify coping strategies, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.
