About Thomas McClernon

Hello, I am licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania, Virginia and Delaware with 8 years of clinical work experience and 18 years of social work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & anger management in outpatient, inpatient, and virtual spaces. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process with compassion and empathy. I value the strength of mindfulness practices in leading to a path of hope and resiliency.
