In addition to her core specialties, Dr. Worthen offers inclusive and affirming care for individuals in the LGBTQ+ community, those with adoption or foster care backgrounds, and others navigating complex identity or relational issues. She is committed to creating a welcoming space where each person can explore their mental health without fear of judgment or stigma.

Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Worthen enjoys crocheting, playing and watching rugby, hiking, swimming, and discovering new restaurants. These interests reflect her vibrant personality and her belief in balance, creativity, and community—values she brings into her work with patients.
