Michaela Trew LMSW
Accepting New ClientsAs a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with eight years of dedicated psychiatric experience, I am passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families through life’s complexities. Based in Columbia and available via telehealth, I provide a compassionate, collaborative space where clients of all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+, veteran, and active-duty communities feel truly seen and supported.
My approach is highly personalized, drawing from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, MBCT, and trauma-focused therapies to meet you where you are. I work with clients across the lifespan, from children (10-12) and teens to adults and older adults (65+). Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing a mood or personality disorder, healing from trauma, or seeking better coping skills for anxiety and depression, we will work together to foster resilience and meaningful change.
I specialize in a wide range of deeply personal challenges, including postpartum depression, identity and self-esteem exploration, relationship dynamics, and substance use recovery. My goal is to empower you with practical tools, mindfulness practices, and the self-compassion needed to navigate life’s transitions and existential questions.
