Getting to know Hiawkal Gizachew

Hi there, I'm Hiyawkal! My name is Hiyawkal Gizachew, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I specialize in working with clients who have a history of trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. My approach I work from a strengths-based perspective, assisting individuals in building their inner strengths and overcoming hardships in life. Using a holistic approach grounded in empathy, trust, and understanding, I provide supportive therapy to mobilize hope, empower individuals, and ultimately improve their quality of life. I am an Amharic-speaking counselor. My focus I have been working with diverse populations, providing therapy to adults and adolescents who have experienced severe trauma, anxiety, and depression. My communication style I create a safe environment where clients feel comfortable and secure enough to open up and express their feelings and thoughts. Education I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University.
