I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed, holistic care for individuals seeking meaningful change.

I view therapy as a bridge — helping you move from the past to your desired future.

Using evidence-based approaches, I help you uncover and release patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that no longer serve you. Instead of changing these patterns through force, we clear away the distortions to reveal the clarity underneath.

My goal is to walk alongside you on this leg of your healing journey, as you align your mind, body, spirit and actions.

Bridgit Serrano

Bridgit Serrano

Therapist

I’m an EMDR-certified therapist with additional certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I know that finding the right therapist is difficult. Especially when trauma and previous pain tells you you are alone, you are judged, and you are always unsafe. Though fear would like you to believe you are better off doing this on your own, you know it’s not true. To heal, we must feel seen and understood, with support and guidance. This is truly my passion and I love connecting with my clients and helping them meet their specific goals.

I have over ten years of working in mental health settings, including in leadership. I am confident and unafraid in walking through pain and unique “problems” with my clients. I have helped many find relief from childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depressive symptoms, PTSD, relationship problems, and destructive ways of coping such as substance use.
