Therapists » Pre-Licensed Professional
Hi! I am MaryCatherine Balcom, a Licensed Graduate Social worker (LGSW) located in the DMV. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. One of my key strengths lies in my ability to establish a trusting and nonjudgmental rapport with my clients, especially with children and adolescents. I believe in fostering an environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to express yourself authentically, however that might look for you! I have a genuine passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and empathy. I focus on creating a safe haven where my clients can share their stories openly and without fear of judgement or expectations. I believe in the power of trusting and supportive therapeutic relationships, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique. The goal of therapy is not just to alleviate immediate challenges but to empower you with the tools to navigate future hurdles with confidence and self-compassion. I look forward to meeting you!
