Helen Woodrum

Helen Woodrum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience in outpatient settings. She began her career in community mental health centers and then worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic within a hospital. Helen focuses on helping people who are struggling right now and aims to make therapy practical and approachable.

She has concentrated much of her post-graduate learning on understanding how complex trauma affects people. That experience informs how she listens and plans treatment. Helen uses a mix of approaches to help people reprocess painful experiences and manage ongoing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

In sessions she draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-based ideas, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused approaches. She also pays attention to the body and self-care when relevant. Her Master’s in Social Work shaped how she considers social and environmental factors when building a plan.

Helen prefers to begin with whatever is most concerning to the person in front of her. She helps people identify practical steps and skills they can try between sessions. The goal is to build resilience, increase self-awareness, and restore better day-to-day functioning, including improved sleep and coping with caregiver or chronic illness stress.

People can expect a therapeutic space that aims to be predictable, respectful, and supportive. Humor and warmth are included when appropriate, alongside clinical focus and clear next steps.
