I am a level Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been working as a catalyst for change in the helping profession for over 10 years. I am a certified financial social worker. I hold a doctorate degree in Social Work with a special focus on leadership style and its impact on performance and satisfaction.

I absolutely love being a helping professional and especially enjoy the exchange between myself and the people with whom I work.
My diverse work history heavily informs my practice having started my career with the Federal government prior to becoming a social worker. As a clinician, I have experience working with many diverse populations to include children, teens, adults, incarcerated persons, families and the aging and their caregivers. I have provided therapy using several modalities and settings to include home-based, school setting, nursing home, office and various telehealth platforms. I also served as both a college athlete and college coach who loved being part of a team. These experiences continue to pour into my therapeutic practices and help me to relate to others at varying stages of life.

I am especially interested in assisting others in overcoming their challenges, partnering together to make difficult decisions or transitions, and efforts to improve their general mood and functioning.

My approach to therapy is very person centered. I firmly believe that YOU are an equally important partner in the helping relationship. I consider myself as a generalist practitioner using Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Play Therapy and other evidenced based models to meet our needs during therapy.

I am so excited to explore new opportunities for growth and change together!

In partnership,
Dr. Bernadette Carroll, MSW, DSW, LICSW, LCSW-C, CMIP
