Hey, Good afternoon, my is Francis Haggerty, I have been a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2011 and have worked with a variety of clients to improve their self-esteem, confidence, and overall development. I attained my MSS from Bryn Mawr Graduate School in 2002 and my MBA from Holy Family University in 2008. I have worked with Veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs since 2011. I love working with both men and women to resolve ongoing conflicts and stressors.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Together, we will identify your challenges and goals - where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we'll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You'll leave the session with a better understanding of what you're facing with an "actions I can take right now" approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My ability to listen, empathize, and identify root causes are among my greatest strengths. I will work with you to develop a comprehensive personal develop plan that will provide you with coping mechanisms and emotional encouragement for you to achieve your goals.
