BIO:Gretchen Langner, LCSW earned her Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University. She is a certified Gestalt therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. She has spent the last 16 years providing individual therapy.
Gretchen uses Somatic Experiencing techniques to create therapeutic services specifically designed to those who have lost their sense of direction and purpose. She has assisted many adults in redefining themselves during times of transition, helping them to create new life goals, choices and to redirect their life course.
It is my belief that we are all capable of healing ourselves. That process occurs as a result of working with a supportive guide. I work with clients at their own pace, encouraging them to use self-exploration and form new patterns of behavior. I collaborate with my clients on issues that include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, career, life transition, loss, eating disorders, among others, in order to mutually develop solutions.
Perspectives change and new possibilities emerge as we work together to create a new and positive belief system that opens up choices in all areas of your life.
