Tobi Long

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing outpatient mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults (especially those in a parenting role). I have worked with children and families for 25+ years in community programs, as a social worker and therapist in schools, and also many years in foster care and adoption. I also am a nationally recognized trainer and consultant for the Nurturing Parenting Program.

My practice focuses on the treatment of common mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, behavioral challenges in children, autism, ADHD and parenting and family related stress.

I provide individual, group, and parent-focused therapy. Treatment approaches are developmentally appropriate and evidence-based, incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play-informed interventions, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed approaches.

Services are offered via telehealth and in-person formats, with in-person services available for children and both in-person and telehealth services available for adolescents and adult caregivers, in accordance with clinical appropriateness and regulatory guidelines.

I believe meaningful change begins with connection. My approach is warm, collaborative, and relationship-centered, creating a space where children, teens, and parents feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play-informed interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed strategies to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional regulation, and improve relationships. My goal is not only to help clients navigate today's challenges, but to foster resilience, confidence, and lasting skills that support lifelong well-being.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another in a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment. We'll spend time talking about what brings you to therapy, the challenges you're facing, and the strengths, experiences, and relationships that make you who you are. My goal is to build a genuine connection and gain a deeper understanding of your story so we can work together to create a plan that fits your unique needs and goals. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable taking the first steps toward growth and healing.
