Deirdrea RustClinical Social Work/Therapist, LSCSW (she, her)

About

My ideal client is age 10 or over, wants to explore making changes in their life, and sees therapy as a piece of that process. I love spontaneous and outside of the box thinkers, and clients who are willing to try unconventional strategies to heal. I have 10 years experience working with children, teens and adults with Autism, ADHD, executive functioning concerns, high-functioning anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, and other disabilities. I am an LGBT+ affirming therapist. I will provide psychoeducation and resources along the way so you can understand the work we do. I use a systems approach. I am certified in play therapy modalities. I involve parents in the process of understanding how to support their neurodivergent child. I use an eclectic modality that is comprised of play therapy, solution-focused, strengths based and holistic approach (all rooted in evidence-based models). Sarcasm, humor and cussing are welcome.
