Misty Weiser, LCSW, CSW

Misty Weiser is an LCSW and CSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Social Worker - licensed to practice in Colorado and Oregon with four years of professional experience. She focuses on support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, and depression while also addressing related concerns such as chronic pain and illness, communication challenges, isolation and loneliness, and life purpose.

Misty draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-focused methods. She emphasizes a client-centered stance that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on individual strengths to navigate difficult experiences.

In practice she integrates trauma-informed perspectives such as Polyvagal Theory to help make sense of how memory and nervous system responses affect daily life. Misty is trained in DBT and EMDR and brings particular experience working with post-traumatic stress, mood and panic disorders, personality and dependent personality concerns, and challenges that arise after natural or human-caused disasters.

She is an advocate for animal-assisted approaches and has incorporated two therapy dogs, Lily and Maggie, into her work for nearly seven years. Misty enjoys collaborative conversations about therapeutic approaches and values open dialogue about what techniques may best suit a person’s goals. She provides services in English and is based in Oregon.
