Sandy Aasen

I am a bilingual (English/Korean) licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University (1994). I have worked in New York and Virginia since then. From 1995–2001, I provided therapy and early intervention services for individuals and families dealing with developmental disabilities. In 2001, I joined the Fairfax-Falls Church CSB later becoming a Senior Clinician. I began practicing independently in 2005. Drawing on my own Asian American background, I understand how culture, family expectations, identity, and intergenerational experiences can shape mental health, and I bring that lens into our work together.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized to each client's individual needs. Through our work together, I offer strategies and feedback for a variety of concerns and challenges. Currently, I am offering telehealth services.
