Lorice Parker

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C), LICSW who mainly specializes in adult individual, couples, and family counseling. I am currently licensed in MD, DC, DE, and FL. I have 20 years of experience providing therapy for individuals, families, and couples. I also have over 28 years of experience working in various social work settings. I am a certified life coach, a licensed minister as well as an author. I believe that every person has the right and ability to live a purposeful and fulfilled life. My goal is to empower, affirm, and build individuals to reach their maximum potential. I will never impose religious beliefs on my clients and will always value and support their individual perspectives. I enjoy facilitating workshops on various life issues, divorce, grief and loss and empowerment. I have facilitated several trainings for other professionals, and I have conducted training around Grief and Loss, Trauma Informed Care, and Understanding Child Development.

I believe it is important for the client to do the work. My goal is to provide you with tools to add to your toolbox so that you can be the best version of yourself. I believe in a task-centered approach where I motivate you to make the changes to achieve your desired outcome. I will challenge you while allowing you a safe space to change your behavior and thinking. Come with paper and pen, "we got work to do." I am excited to be a part of your healing journey.

Our initial session is about engagement, building a working relationship and getting to know each other. This will be an opportunity for the client to interview me and for me to assess the client. I will share the expectations of our time together and answer any questions to assist the client in making an informed decision about making me their therapist of choice.
