Getting to know Serena Chestnut

Hi there, I'm Serena! My name is Serena Chestnut, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Saint Joseph College. I primarily work with adolescents, adults, and couples, utilizing CBT and EMDR to treat anxiety and trauma. My approach I draw from a variety of models to individualize the needs of each client and their treatment process. With compassion and acceptance, I work with each person to help them recognize and build on their already existing strengths. I enjoy helping people explore and recognize the abilities they already have within themselves to grow and live a happy, healthy, successful life. My focus As an LMFT, I have a passion for working with preteens, teens, adults, couples, and families. I focus on anxiety disorders and trauma. My communication style Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have sought therapy before, my primary goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable talking about difficult experiences and to begin creating the changes you want to make for yourself. My first session with you During an initial session, we will discuss your history of symptoms and develop a treatment plan that I individualize to each client. I also answer any questions you may have!
