Casey Akerhielm
Counselor -
All of my sessions are done over telehealth, from the comfort of your own home. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for my clients to explore their challenges and struggles. My expertise lies in working with survivors of cultic, religious/spiritual abuse, and survivors of the troubled teen industry.
My approach is trauma-informed and focused on helping individuals heal from the traumatic experiences they have endured. In addition, I work with clients who are neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism, and OCD. I am also LGBTQ+ aligned.
I specialize in a variety of areas that help individuals achieve greater self-awareness, personal growth, and overall well-being. I may utilize mindfulness techniques, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and DBT when appropriate for clients. My treatment plans are all individualized to fit each client’s unique needs.
