Norman Cerny
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Social Worker (LSW)
Hi! My name is Norman. I approach counseling with compassion, understanding, nonjudgment and unconditional positive regard.
My experience and focus have been in trauma-focused care, LGBTQ issues, self-harm, addiction, and family and relationship conflicts. I have a focus on transitional youth meaning teens and young adults but have and will work with people of all ages. I believe we are our best when we can live as our true authentic self in our everyday life. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stuck, or just unsure what to do next I would love the opportunity to help you through life's transition.
