I am Savyon, LCSW (she/her/hers)

Why the name Dandelion Therapy?

My name, Savyon, means Dandelion.

A dandelion is a wildflower with a multitude of medicinal and healing properties. As explained in The Practical Herbalist, “A dandelion has a unique ability to adapt to its environment, no matter how challenging. Dandelion magic is the magic of adaptation. Dandelion is more than an adapter; Dandelion is a transformer.” How appropriate for a space that helps you to adapt and transform, too.

IFS informed therapist for students and young professionals

I am one of you. I have gone through the higher education system, the “Ivory tower” institutions, the stressors, the doubts, the pressures, and the grind. I know what it’s like to have to schedule the time to relax in the non-stop day, in between the meetings and courses and group projects and extracurricular activities.

I have been working with students for 8 years in a professional capacity, supporting them in engaging in community, guiding them towards more confidence, contentment, and joy in their lives. I have worked with students holding diverse identities, exploring their sexuality, queerness, and gender. I understand the challenges you face from being a high achieving, high functioning, self-aware, and motivated person while finding yourself in an environment that is pushing you to your limits. It is within you to still feel joy, balance, and energy within these walls, and in your body.
