Getting to know Hiawatha Sanford

Hi there, I'm Hiawatha! My name is Hiawatha "Frenchie" Sanford, LICSW in WA. I believe that everyone has strengths, and together we can identify those strengths and build on them. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Mississippi, which laid the foundation for my clinical work and passion for helping others. My approach My therapeutic approach is eclectic, primarily using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and compassion. My focus My focus areas of practice include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, as well as physical and emotional abuse. My communication style I strive to create an environment that feels safe for clients to share their thoughts and feelings. I also work to ensure clients feel heard, respected, and able to build trust throughout our work together. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been interested in helping people but learned early in my social work career that people need understanding and compassion. I decided to further my education and clinical work in hopes of being part of the journey to helping clients become the best versions of themselves, which they already know they can be. My goals for you I believe it is very important to decide therapy goals collaboratively with clients. I have found that clients respond better to achieving goals when they have been instrumental in setting them. My first session with you Clients should expect to feel comfortable and be allowed to express their reasons for seeking therapy. They can also expect to begin building a therapeutic relationship with me.
