Bart Ozretich

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work from the University of Washington, with an emphasis on Multi-Ethnic Practice. I am also designated as an Ethnic Minority Mental Health Specialist. My training and experience is primarily in the treatment of adults with a variety of mental health concerns (from anxiety to depression to life transitions). And, my passion and strength is working with diverse individuals - from a mindfulness approach - in an effort to make caring and compassion more central to all of our lives. I offer an eclectic approach to mental health services – grounded in evidence-based practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) – with an emphasis on connecting with my clients through attentive listening, non-judgmental guidance, and compassionate challenging of fixed patterns and behaviors. One of my strengths is working with individuals from diverse, multi-ethnic, and multi-racial backgrounds. I want to meet you where you are and develop an individualized treatment plan together with you.
