Kathleen Ringel, LCSW
Licensed Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor
MY PRACTICE
I am an LCSW Therapist with extensive experience in supporting individuals through grief, loss, and illness. Drawing on a deep understanding of the emotional complexities surrounding life’s most challenging transitions, I provide empathetic care and evidence-based interventions tailored to each client’s unique needs. I specialize in guiding patients and their loved ones through the emotional and practical challenges of chronic illness and caregiving, while fostering resilience and healing. Dedicated to creating a safe and compassionate space, I am passionate about helping clients navigate their journeys with dignity and support.
I typically work with patients who are dealing with chronic illness, loss, and bereavement. I meet the patient where they are to foster a relaxed and non-judgmental space.
