Hi. My name is Mamie Lumpkin-Gordon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am licensed in Florida with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, depression, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, grief & parenting issues. I am dedicated to creating an open and safe environment for clients, where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My passion is to help clients overcome their mental health and/or personal barriers and promote feelings of empowerment to ultimately achieve desired change. My approach Collaborative, Integrated, Structured and Psychodynamic I work with teens and young adults who are struggling with family, peer relations, romantic relationships, identity issues, and other developmental stressors. I also support young adults who are trying to establish themselves and find their place in the world. I enjoy working with mothers who may be struggling with finding a balance between being a parent, a partner and having a career without losing their sense of self. I have great success in working with clients of all ages who have experienced trauma and need guidance toward healing and restoring functionality. I am seasoned in working with clients who are battling anxiety and depression, as well as those who are experiencing grief and other significant life changes. My approach is direct yet gentle. In sessions, clients will see a therapist who is strength-based and who encourages clients to accept their past and present self without shame and guilt. Strengths are highlighted and all feelings are important and acknowledged. My desire has always been to be in the health field, however not in a hands-on capacity. While in college, my grandmother suffered a life-changing medical procedure that was devastating for her and the family as a whole.
