GET TO KNOW ME

I am Tomi Stewart. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in California and Washington (state). I work mostly with adolescents and young adults suffering from anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have worked with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds and of all ages 13 and over. Much of my practice has focused on working with queer and questioning individuals, along with individuals in non-traditional relationships. Whoever you are and whatever stage of life you find yourself in, my goal is to partner with you in working toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. You are the expert on yourself and the captain of your own ship. I am but a skilled deckhand.
