My history and background is inclusive of treating adults with specialty population of veterans and persons that have experienced trauma.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Hi, I’m Rhonda Thomas, LCSW—a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals heal from trauma, manage stress, and reconnect with themselves. I specialize in trauma recovery, parenting support (including special needs parenting), anxiety, burnout, and life transitions. Whether you're navigating the emotional weight of past experiences or juggling the daily demands of parenting, I provide a safe and supportive space for you to slow down, reflect, and grow. As a mom and mental health professional, I understand the emotional toll caregiving and high expectations can take. You're not alone—and you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. I use trauma-informed approaches, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, always tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally resilient in your everyday life. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions. Together, we’ll create a path toward healing that honors your story and strengthens your ability to show up for yourself—and for those you care about. Let’s connect—healing starts with one step.

Trauma Informed Care

I have certification for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for the treatment of Anxiety and Depression with treatment history over 20 years in treatment of life transitions, feelings of low self worth, complex anxieties, challenges in navigating workplace stress
