About me

Welcome, my name is Trudy. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), and I have been working in the field of mental health for over 18 years. I love what I do, and that is why I do it.
Education:
Walden University - Human Services Administration - Graduate Certificate - 2014
University of Arkansas-Little Rock - Social Work - MSW - 2007
University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff - Social Work - BSW - 2005

Experience:
I have worked primarily in the outpatient treatment setting, with individuals with a variety of mental health and stress-related issues since 2005. My journey working in mental health began with a co-ed inpatient substance abuse treatment facility where I taught relaxation techniques, anger management, stress reduction, and coping strategies. From there, I evolved into the outpatient community mental health arena. I have served as an on-call therapist, group therapist, individual therapist, family therapist, and couples/marriage therapist. I have significant experience in dealing with self-harm and alternative coping strategies as well.
While I have worked with all diagnoses, I have a passion for stress reduction, relaxation, depression, anxiety, and grief counseling. I lean toward Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/Tapping), but I also have experience with Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). I teach meditation techniques and mindfulness practices. I am also a certified Reiki Master, a Life Coach, and an active member of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology.
You have now entered a space that is safe and built for you to feel supported and improve your life! Welcome!

Very upfront doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Let me know what she expects me and asked me what I expect of her. It’s perfect.

Trudy has been a great support. She brings honesty, humor, and much-needed reality checks. Most importantly, she is easy to talk to.

Trudy is awesome. Never had a better therapist and I hope to continue with my therapy as long as I can.

Trudy offers clients a combination of research-based therapy supports and old-fashioned (and sometimes humorous) common sense. The blend of her education in social sciences and homespun wisdom is a delight. She is very helpful, thoughtful, listens very well, and feeds back to the client useful reflections, tools, stories...and sometimes allegories. The books, articles, and worksheets she has recommended have also been timely, relevant, and helpful. I have enjoyed working with her!
