Ms. Someeka Washington

LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was inspired to be a social worker/therapist when my family and I were helped by a social worker when my aunt was dying from cancer. O began to ask her questions and the social worker told me all the things you can do with a social worker degree. I was very intrigued, and my passion has always been helping others improve their overall well-being.

I am very friendly. I believe listening to the clients to provide a safe space can help the client and myself identify patterns, themes and habits in their thinking and behavior to begin to challenge my clients’ thoughts/behaviors and perspective. I am very supportive, engaging and collaborative to developing a treatment plan that best fits their needs using different modalities including but not limited to Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Cognitive behavioral Therapy and Strength Based Perspective.

My clients are experts in their own lives. I establish goals with my clients through partnering with my clients on what they want to work on. I can offer suggestions on what I think is needed to work on after I have gathered self-reported information from the client during the initial assessment. However, overall, the goals are ultimately decided by the client.
