Savannah Stanciel, MSW, LCSW

Savannah Stanciel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, currently licensed in both Arizona and Washington State. She received her Bachelor's in Community Advocacy and Social Policy from Arizona State University and her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2021. Her passion is supporting individuals struggling with identity issues, self-esteem, PTSD symptoms, and race-based trauma. Savannah pulls from her background working with sexual assault and domestic violence survivors in an integrated women’s health shelter and strives to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can feel acceptance in expressing the most authentic parts of yourself fully. Her favorite modalities are Person-Centered, Rogerian, Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Strengths-Based. Because she prefers strengths-based work, she is non-directive and uses her positionality as a therapist to guide, instead of direct. Savannah prefers to use a whole-person approach to trauma, believing that complex systems such as family/intergenerational beliefs, institutions, and societal influences shape our internal world. She is a member of the National Association for Social Workers and the American Psychological Association. 

In addition to psychotherapy, Savannah is an adjunct professor at South Mountain Community College. 

In her free time, you can find her testing out new Pinterest recipes, snuggled up on the couch reading a good thriller, roadtripping the Pacific Northwest, making a collage, or hiking in the mountains. She has traveled to 43 states and 7 countries.
