I’m here to support you in identifying and embracing your identity, exploring trauma, and navigating the challenges that often come with life.

Before we get started…

Hello, my name is Eden Asgedom Mengistu. As someone who immigrated at a young age, my lived experience of navigating a new environment helps me deeply connect with clients who are searching for their own path.

I’m currently in the final year of my Master of Social Work internship, but I bring over twenty years of experience in the field, having worked in both mental health and medical hospital settings. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from all walks of life.

Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my children and family-cooking, going for a walk, watching movies, and playing games.


We are thrilled to have Eden on our team!

She brings so much experience to our practice!

My approach is person-centered, meaning you are the expert of your lived experience.

I’m here to support you in identifying and embracing your identity, exploring trauma, and navigating the challenges that often come with life. 

As a Black immigrant woman, my lived experience helps me connect deeply with individuals who feel unseen, undervalued, and as if their stories and struggles hold no weight. I understand what it means to navigate systems not built with you in mind. This perspective allows me to show empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for the strength it takes just to be.  

One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned along the way is that at the core, people want two things: to feel validated in their experiences and to understand how they arrived at their current place in life. My work is rooted in honoring those needs, creating a space where you can explore your story with compassion, curiosity, and a sense of safety.
