Yvanna Pantner, LMSW (she/her)

Clinical Therapist


Thanks for being here! I am a queer-identifying therapist who works with children, families, and adults across the lifespan. I specialize in individual therapy, family therapy, and parent coaching. I value meeting my clients where they are, and use a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and person-centered approach to guide our work together. I also incorporate a variety of experiential techniques to support my clients, especially kids, in expressing themselves and processing their emotional experiences. 

As a licensed master social worker, I am under the supervision of Mick Rehrig, LCSW. I have experience working in school and community mental health settings where I primarily worked with adults as well as children and families navigating life transitions, intergenerational trauma, neurodiversity, and identity exploration. A key part of supporting my youth clients involves working with parents to understand the family system so that your child can thrive. Family and parent sessions are a meaningful part of your child’s therapeutic experience and I incorporate them in with individual sessions. I work closely with my adult clients to tailor therapeutic interventions to your lived experiences. Some modalities I often integrate into sessions include expressive arts therapy, play therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, narrative therapy, and somatic approaches. 

Some identities I hold include my lived experiences as a first-generation immigrant and moving through the world as a white, queer cis femme. I am also an aspiring ceramicist and love to make art inside and outside of sessions. You can find me in the pottery studio, exploring a new hobby, or adventuring in the outdoors. Schedule a phone consultation to learn more about whether I am a good fit for you or your child. I hope to join you in the wandering and wonder of this season of your life!
