Paige Reitz
LCSW
Hi! I�m a nonbinary AuDHD licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with about a decade of experience in the mental health field, working with children through adults in community and outpatient settings. My experience includes operating an evidence-based program, Multisystemic Therapy (MST), in Northern Virginia. I earned my bachelor�s and master�s degrees in social work at Longwood University and University of Houston respectively.
My areas of interest and specialty are in neurodiverse clients, particularly Autistic and ADHD, as well as supporting clients in grief work. I primarily work with adolescents and adults at present, and I do both individual and family work. I am LGBTQ+-affirming and come with an antiracist and neurodiversity-affirming lens. I have a systemic worldview and believe we do not exist in vacuums, thus I challenge the various -isms as they come up in my life and am always working to better myself and both recognize and reduce my personal biases.
I see myself as a guide on your journey, and I am here to facilitate that journey, not to direct it. I operate from a strengths-based perspective, and I use a wide variety of therapeutic modalities dependent on what works best for you. I am a giant nerd and sometimes bring my fandom self into the therapy space if it is helpful. I am an avid reader and incorporate a lot of Dr. Brene Brown�s and Dr. Kristin Neff�s work into my therapeutic space.
