Getting to know Bridgette Werner
Hi there, I'm Bridgette!
My name is Bridgette, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My approach with clients is personalized, emotion-focused, and relational. Psychotherapy is a genuine conversation—exploration, articulation, and strategizing.
My approach
My goal is to create a secure, therapeutic relationship where you can explore all parts of yourself, including shame, anger, fear, joy, sexuality, identity, and longing. You are your own expert—you know yourself best. I want clients to realize that within their minds, they have access to techniques to cope with difficult experiences and make changes at the root, not just the surface.
My focus
With a gentle, non-judgmental, and supportive approach, I create a safe space for clients to express themselves and make room for realizations that lead to positive life changes. I am deeply attuned, nurturing, curious, and playful. Therapy is about becoming fulfilled, engaged, happy, and connected to your self-worth. I take a holistic and individualized approach—client voice, client choice.
My communication style
I am warm, nonjudgmental, and humorous. I ensure clients feel at ease, especially when discussing difficult topics.
My journey to mental healthcare
Individuals close to me have been diagnosed with mental health disorders. Witnessing the stigmatization led them not to get help immediately. I wanted to better myself by recognizing early signs and gaining greater understanding and compassion. I believe mental health is about how we think, feel, and act—we are all affected by it. Taking care of mental health is vital because it affects every aspect of life—from relationships to work, school, and productivity.
