Savannah Stanciel LCSW

Savannah Stanciel is an associate licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in private practice with Pacific Mental Health. She is currently licensed in both Arizona and Washington State. She received her bachelor’s in community advocacy and social policy from Arizona State University and her master’s in social work from the University of Michigan in 2021. Her passion is supporting individuals who experience PTSD symptoms, shame, perfectionistic tendencies, low self-esteem, and multicultural identity issues.

Growing up as a multiracial woman in a tiny town west of Seattle, Savannah’s unique subjective experience guides her clinical work. She draws from her background working with sexual assault and domestic violence survivors in an integrated women’s health shelter. She strives to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel accepted in expressing the most authentic parts of yourself fully. Her favorite modalities are person-centered, rogerian, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and prolonged exposure therapy (PET).

Because she prefers strengths-based work, she is non-directive and uses her positionality as a therapist to guide instead of direct. Savannah prefers to use a whole-person approach to trauma, believing that complex systems such as family/intergenerational beliefs, institutions, and societal influences shape our internal world.
