Naomi Krajewski (she/they)

As an LCSW, I believe each of us is more than our wounds, and I always keep sight of your strengths - even when you can’t see them yourself. My integrated approach to therapy uses a variety of interventions tailored to your individual combination of strengths, wounds, desires, and goals to address the root cause of your suffering. My formal education includes certificates in trauma treatment, animal assisted interventions, and the unique issues facing teens. I also have training in DBT, CBT, somatic interventions, and expressive arts. People describe working with me as an experience of warm acceptance. Others note my empathy and compassion, as well as my use of humor when appropriate. Many of my clients express relief when they receive my unconditional care.

I passionately believe in the rights of all humans to live meaningful lives, and it is important to me to fight for the marginalized among us. I happily support transgender teens in a weekly support group, and have work with people of all ages in expressing their full gender identity. As an ally of BIPOC communities, I regularly examine how I can use my privilege to build an equitable world. As passionate as I am about my work, I understand that the key to a happy life is finding balance between work and play. I love to take long walks with Jay, my canine co-therapist. Natural spaces nourish me. My creativity is also an important part of who I am. I enjoy performing with my improvised theater team and I am passionate about binding handmade books. I am a fan of whimsical adventure in real life and in my imagination – I aspire to ride in a hot air balloon sometime soon. There is nothing better than being absorbed in a good story. Libraries are magical places to me.
