My name is Travisa Skinner MSW, and I am a trauma-informed therapist and Supervisee in Social Work with over a decade of experience supporting individuals and couples. My professional background includes extensive work in child welfare, where I partnered with children, families, and caregivers navigating trauma, system involvement, and complex family dynamics. This experience informs my clinical understanding of attachment, relational patterns, and the long-term impact of early life experiences.

I specialize in working with couples experiencing communication difficulties, chronic conflict, trust concerns, and challenges related to major life transitions. In couples therapy, I primarily draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based interventions, and structured conflict-resolution strategies to help partners identify negative interaction cycles, strengthen emotional connection, and improve communication.

I also work with individuals navigating relationship stress, emotional regulation challenges, and unresolved trauma. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and trauma-informed practices to support insight, coping skill development, and meaningful behavioral change. Treatment is collaborative, strengths-based, culturally responsive, and tailored to each client’s goals.

Who I Work Best With:
I work best with individuals and couples who are motivated to explore their relational patterns and develop practical tools for change, even if they feel stuck or overwhelmed. I am particularly well-suited to support couples seeking healthier communication, individuals healing from childhood or relational trauma, and clients navigating high-conflict relationships, boundary-setting, or significant life transitions.
