Getting to know Lena Agnew

Hi there, I'm Lena! I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Western Michigan University. I have over 11 years of experience working with individuals and families. For more than 4 years, I worked in crisis and trauma counseling within medical settings. I find it meaningful to support people during some of the most critical and important times in their lives. My focus is on you—walking alongside you as you navigate what works best using scientific and strength-based approaches. My approach What brings me joy while working with clients is helping you utilize your strengths, whatever they may be, to reach more helpful and cohesive conclusions. I am trained in CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed theoretical approaches. My focus Throughout my clinical experience, I have worked with people from all walks of life. I enjoy supporting individuals, families, and couples who need trauma-informed care and assistance managing life stress. I have worked with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, and everyday challenges. My communication style I strive to create a comfortable, nurturing environment that encourages open dialogue. Together, we will establish simple goals and lifelong solutions. My journey to mental healthcare If you had asked me as a child what I wanted to do, my answer would have been helping people. I’ve always wanted to empower others and foster growth. I find strength in connectedness and compassion for my peers, and becoming a therapist felt like the most natural fit. My goals for you We will tackle each goal at a pace that feels right for you. Remember: this is your therapy, and you get to identify what you need from me. My first session with you At our first session, we’ll say hello, get to know each other, and begin exploring what brought us together. Bring your authentic self—this first session should be a breeze!
