My name is Nadine Thompson, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I earned my Master of Social Work degree, specializing in Clinical Practice, from Smith College School of Social Work in 1991. I also have post-graduate certification in Addiction counseling, multicultural practice, DBT, and Couples and Family Therapy. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression/anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, addiction, relationships/parenting, and more. Over the past 30 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of counseling by far is the rapport, connection, and comfort you feel with your therapist. Recently, I have come to really see the value in being able "to hold space" for clients to express their deepest feelings and possibly find the answers and direction that they need as they become more self-aware. We all want to be able to share our personal truths and be accepted and understood. I believe in the power of “telling our stories”, as a pathway to healing and resilience. Our work together may include you being able to see yourself and those around you more clearly and develop tools and strategies for creating change in your life.

As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master’s in Social Work and a Master’s in Physical Education, I have dedicated my life to the holistic understanding and treatment of trauma, healing, and personal growth. My journey has been shaped by my service as a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom and a former police officer, experiences that have ingrained in me a deep sense of duty to serve my country, community, and my fellow human beings. These roles have provided me with unique insights into the complexities of the human experience—insights that inform my approach to therapy, where I strive to create a transformative space for healing. My approach to therapy is much more than traditional talk therapy; it’s about engaging on multiple levels—physical, emotional, and psychological. I work to educate, nurture, and guide individuals as they navigate the depths of their trauma and rediscover their inherent strength.
