Warden Prescott, PhD, LMSW

Psychotherapist

I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families, with a focus on PTSD, complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. My work is relational and depth-oriented, drawing on psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches alongside EMDR to help clients understand not just what they're feeling, but why.

Before becoming a clinician, I was a professor of philosophy at a research university. My approach is thus shaped by a deep understanding of the world’s philosophical traditions, both Eastern and Western. I bring those lenses to my therapeutic work, along with a profound respect for human differences and our shared humanity.

All races, genders, religions, and political affiliations are welcome!
