Getting to know Colleen Woodall
Hello there and congrats on taking the first step in looking into therapy! My name is Colleen Woodall and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, California with the ability to work virtually with clients all over California. My focus is mainly on kids, teens, young adult women, and mothers experiencing life changes, stress, or anxiety.
My approach
My approach to therapy changes based on each client’s needs, however, I always take a humanistic, strengths-based, and client-centered approach. Meaning I focus on each client’s strengths and how to utilize them and place a high value on client discovery and self-love. I personally believe the client and therapist relationship is one of the most significant parts of therapy, therefore, I work to build a connection throughout each session. Additionally, I have been trained in play therapy and art therapy techniques and can incorporate them with both kids and adults alike.
My focus
I typically work with kids, high school-aged teens, and young adult women or mothers experiencing life changes, stress, anxiety, depression, concerns with self-esteem and identity, issues with relationships, or health/fertility.
My communication style
I like for my clients to feel excited and hopeful to come to therapy. I aim to create a relaxing and fun environment and pride myself on creating a strong and trusting relationship. My communication style is friendly, personal, engaging, and humorous.
My journey to mental healthcare
After college, I served a year as an AmeriCorps member recruiting and training volunteers for a children’s literacy non-profit. I found my favorite part was specifically working with the kids. Then, I crafted a 5-year plan to go back to school for my Masters in Social Work (MSW). After I graduated with my MSW, I moved to California and worked in the school system for several years doing play therapy and counseling and felt I had found my passion. After leaving the school system.
