Myrtho Gardiner

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and nearing completion of my PhD. I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD, and have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, for people of all walks of life. I believe everyone has an inner well of strength, and my role is to help you reconnect with it. I offer a compassionate and affirming space for healing and growth, where your unique experiences are honored. I work with individuals, couples, and families—helping you build the tools and confidence needed to move forward.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, strength-based, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience. I work collaboratively with you to explore underlying patterns, uncover sources of pain, and build practical strategies for healing. Whether addressing trauma, life transitions, or relational issues, I tailor my methods to support your specific needs. I integrate evidence-based practices with a warm, empowering style to create a safe environment for growth. Together, we’ll develop a plan that supports your goals and reflects your values.

Clients often leave sessions with a deeper sense of clarity, self-awareness, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered as we work toward lasting change. You can expect a therapeutic space that is nonjudgmental, collaborative, and attuned to your unique needs. Through our work, you'll reconnect with your strengths and gain new skills for coping, communication, and emotional resilience. Healing isn’t linear, but we’ll move forward, together.
