Getting to know Sommer Uhl

Hi, my name is Sommer Harriman, LCSW 108254. I have learned that navigating through life can feel challenging and overwhelming. My goal is to offer a space that is nonjudgmental and client-centered. I believe in giving individuals the tools to not only survive but thrive in their lives and find a path toward their authentic selves. My passion lies in giving individuals the time to sit in their space and allow them to explore the dark parts that can sometimes feel too big to face. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and have experience in CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. I believe that self-discovery doesn't only occur in session and often utilize homework assignments as a way for individuals to continue the process. I have a background in working with those experiencing anxiety, codependency, depression, substance abuse, and other symptoms related to trauma. I've worked with individuals from various backgrounds and cultural upbringings and understand that core beliefs often come from childhood and need to be examined and re-evaluated. I begin my journey with a client by meeting them where they're at and giving them the tools to guide the therapeutic process through self-awareness and communication. I bring my authentic self to the therapeutic relationship and believe using humor helps make the process feel less daunting. I have struggled throughout my life with ADHD and anxiety. I've also watched family members struggle with severe mental illness and felt helpless in my ability to help them. I became a therapist to give individuals the opportunity to find the tools to live beyond their struggles and find a way to thrive and embrace who they are. I believe we all have the answers we are looking for and can benefit from another person guiding us through the process of self-discovery. It is important to me that each individual I work with feels empowered and in charge of their sessions.
