Shayna Sargent, LCSW
Founder of Seeking Solace LLC
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Virginia who specializes in the treatment of childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment, and relational problems. My background includes clinical work in the forensic, educational, and therapeutic settings. I currently offer both in-person and online therapy with children, teens, and adults. I would say my greatest strength as a therapist is my authenticity and non-judgmental lens which helps me to connect on a deeper level with those I am working with.
For over ten years, I worked as a school social worker and provided counseling support to children who were suffering from social, emotional, and behavioral challenges including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, ADHD, and bullying. In addition, I lead an academy course for teachers and staff in Fairfax County that was focused on the impact of trauma on children and how to best support them. I have been trained in some play based therapies and enjoy applying those techniques in session as well.
During my personal time, I enjoy spending my time outdoors whether it is hiking, camping, going to the beach, or playing sports. I also enjoy spending time with my family, including my toy poodle, Winnie and my daughter who was just born this past May. I am looking forward to working with you and helping you seek your inner solace!
