Sven Kalsow, MS (they/them)
Welcome! You found your way here. Perhaps your life has been turned upside-down, and you're unsure how to find the ground again. Perhaps chronic patterns of feeling depressed, anxious, or hopeless have prevented you from reaching personal or career goals. Perhaps emotions and memories of past events intrude your thoughts, and you're wondering if you can ever reach the "before" time again. Starting therapy is often a decision people make when what they’ve tried on their own no longer feels sufficient.
Creating a safe, warm, and trusting professional relationship with you is the cornerstone to my approach as a therapist. The person you will meet is authentically me: an inquisitive, humorous, and contemplative person. During sessions we explore the cycle of day-to-day events, internal emotions, and resulting behaviors. We also explore the deeper questions underneath that cycle - who you are, how come, and what it could mean to be your full self in the presence of others. My approach tends to work best for people who are reflective, curious about their internal world, and willing to engage consistently in therapy.
Outside of doing therapy, I enjoy spending time with family, hanging out with my cat, playing in a band, and backpacking.
