Ryckel Franklin
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ. I have been practicing approximately 6 years. I am warm, empathetic, and passionate. I began this work because I have indirect and direct experience with mental health concerns. I understand how challenging it can be to feel to navigate life stressors. I am here to help in any way I can.
First session
The first session is where we both get to know each other before diving into therapy officially. It is a time where I collect basic background information about you, family history, past treatment, and what brings you in. Any questions you have for me, please don’t feel hesitant to ask.
Strengths
As I stated earlier, I have both direct and indirect experience with mental health. I pay close attention to what each person may need in the moment, whether that is to hold space and not push or jumping in to challenge negative cyclical thoughts patterns.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is anyone 18 and up who is motivated for treatment and have certain short or long term goals they would like to work on. I typically always use homework assignments to bridge the gap in between sessions. Clients struggling with anxiety, depression, adhd, chronic illnesses, relationship concerns, and anyone who is looking to make any form of improvement in their life.
