Meet The Team

Philisha Woodard, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

As a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have dedicated my life to being a beacon of hope and resilience for families and children who have faced adversity. With my wealth of experience, I have had the privilege of guiding countless individuals on transformative journeys in all areas of their lives. With a specialty in childhood trauma in adults, attachment wounds, complex PTSD, chronic shame, and the patterns that follow us into work and relationships. I’m Brainspotting-trained, an evidence-informed, brain–body approach that helps access and resolve trauma held in the nervous system without forcing a re-telling of every detail. Many clients come in feeling “stuck”: overthinking, shutting down, struggling with sleep, or repeating dynamics they want to change.

In therapy, I start by building safety and nervous-system regulation so your body has room to heal. From there, I integrate Brainspotting, trauma-informed skills, and practical strategies for boundaries, communication, and self-trust. Sessions are collaborative and steady, no pressure, just focused care aimed at lasting change. My goal is simple: fewer triggers, more emotional steadiness, and a grounded connection to who you are and how you want to live.
