Savanna Mathias, LMSW

Supervisee in Social Work

Mental Health Therapist at VBCC

I chose this path to support people in navigating life’s struggles with clarity and strength. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing when they are met with understanding and support. I help clients explore their experiences, identify their inner resources, and take steps toward a more empowered and meaningful life.

I work with adults and young adults impacted by trauma, substance use, and co-occurring mental health concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I have experience supporting clients with attachment wounds and intergenerational patterns, as well as helping individuals navigate recovery, relapse prevention, and major life transitions. I use a trauma-informed and collaborative approach, helping clients build practical skills to manage emotions and change unhealthy patterns shaped by past experiences. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship where clients feel empowered to explore difficult experiences and develop tools for lasting change.

When I’m not in the office, I love reading, exploring new hiking trails during my travels, and enjoying time with my family.

If you’re seeking a space to explore, grow, and find balance, I would be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
