Connie Toavs, LCSW, LICSW

Connie Toavs brings a blended background in psychology, gerontology, and social work to her psychotherapeutic practice, supporting families, individuals, couples, and older adults. She has worked with people navigating PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, end-of-life concerns, chronic medical conditions, personality disorders, intimate betrayal, and attachment and family-of-origin issues. Her approach centers on respectful inquiry and thoughtful life review to surface repeated patterns that interfere with daily functioning and relationships.

Connie creates a calm, non-judgmental space that is intended to feel welcoming and accessible to diverse clients. Through collaborative exploration she helps clients build insight into how their concerns affect them emotionally and physically, then partners with them to develop practical strategies for change. Emphasizing understanding before action, she guides clients toward interventions that address both physiological responses and emotional experience.

As a licensed social worker, Connie holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - reflecting advanced training in clinical social work and therapy. She brings a steady, supportive presence to the therapeutic process and works with clients at their own pace as they face life transitions and healing work.
