Mr Craig Groehn, MSW

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I am an Individual, Couple, Family and Group therapist fully committed to the health and welfare of the people I serve.”

About Me

I am deeply committed to your well-being, working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. My aim is to create a truly understanding space where you can explore challenges openly and feel heard. We can work together to find clear paths forward, focusing on what helps you thrive. Clients seeking dedicated, collaborative support to navigate life's complexities will find a trusted partner here.

Approach

Focused on your wellbeing and safety, I offer a steady, attentive way of working that balances verbal reflection with gentle somatic noticing to help relationships and trauma feel less overwhelming. In Fairfield and via secure online sessions in English, we move at a collaborative pace—short experiments in session, simple practices between meetings, and occasional guided attention to body sensations to access stuck material. This practical, respectful approach tends to suit adults, couples, families, and elders seeking clear, compassionate steps forward.
