Meet Your Teen Support Group Leader, Bridget Iaccino, LCSW
Bridget brings a warm, trauma-informed, and relational approach to her work, seeing her clients as so much more than what they’ve experienced. Her integrative, client-centered style draws from psychodynamic therapy, parts work, schema-focused approaches, and mindfulness-based CBT. Drawing from her yoga training, she also uses Polyvagal-informed, mind-body practices, and somatic awareness. For younger clients, she uses her training in Child-Centered Play Therapy to create a space where kids can express themselves and build emotional skills.
Bridget brings deep expertise supporting children, teens, adults, parents, and families navigating life transitions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Throughout her career, she’s worked and advocated within schools, the foster care system, and juvenile and federal justice settings. Bridget attended Loyola University Chicago, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology and a master’s of social work with a specialization in Mental Health.
