What should a new client know about working with you?

Hi! My name is Paige Achten. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have extensive experience in healthcare working with geriatric patients and caregivers. I also love working with people living with trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. I have worked with everyone from elementary aged children to older adults but mostly have young adults-older adults on my current caseload.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I take a positive and holistic approach to therapy, highlighting my clients’ strengths and checking in with the mind and body. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where the client determines therapy goals and pace of sessions. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, but use other modalities that focus on mindfulness, acceptance, and motivation as well. The first session is all about getting to know you and your goals for therapy. Clients often share with me how difficult it has been for them to connect with therapists in the past, and how pleasantly surprised they are with how easy I am to talk to. I enjoy being a calming and safe presence, but value humor in therapy as well. I believe healing happens in relationships and I will show up for you as your therapist.
