I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while also working toward meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and practical. I believe therapy works best when it’s a partnership—I bring clinical insight and tools, and I stay open to your perspective and lived experience. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build coping skills, and find strategies that actually fit your life.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so my goal in our first session is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and understood.
Clients often describe me as easy to talk to, practical, and helpful in turning insight into action. I focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable opening up while also making real progress toward your goals.
Take the first step to help. Call or Ricki Kern now - (301) 781-7888
