Avvri Rathsack is a Licensed Master Social Worker working towards their clinical license. They graduated from the Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2013 and have been doing clinical work since 2011 beginning as an intern. They use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing as their therapeutic approaches and they are the foundations in their work. They also enjoy learning and incorporating Internal Family Systems into therapy. Ultimately, they take an eclectic approach and utilize interventions that make sense for each session. You might find interventions from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness techniques. They use these approaches and techniques to help facilitate change, build understanding of one's experiences, or teach techniques to tolerate distress. Sometimes psychoeducation and normalization can go a long way into facilitating one's own change. They have experience working with folks in recovery, people living with HIV, on the spectrum, folks struggling with ADHD, Anxiety disorders, Bipolar disorders, Depressive disorders, and Schizophrenia to name a few. They have worked in acute psychiatric wards, detoxes, outpatient clinics, a harm reduction center and a needle exchange, Queer focused agencies, and private practice. They have been a group facilitator, couple's therapist, but have mostly done individual therapy.
