Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer is a licensed clinical social worker with advanced credentials - LCSW and LICSW - reflecting clinical social work licensure that enables independent practice. He provides care for people of all ages facing mental health and substance use difficulties, and he has also worked with couples and families to address relational challenges. His approach is broad and integrative, attending to how living environment, physical wellness, relationships, thought patterns, past experiences, emotions, and a sense of meaning all interact to shape a person's life.

Philip emphasizes a nonjudgmental, straightforward therapeutic stance and believes in the possibility of meaningful change for everyone. He draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy - tailoring interventions to help people manage current problems, clarify what matters to them, and move toward their goals.

Born and raised in England and having spent the first thirty years of his life there, Philip carried a first career in the British government before returning to pursue social work. He earned a Master of Social Work at age 40 and brings both academic training and lived experience to his practice, including personal experience with mental health and substance use challenges. Philip maintains licensure in multiple states, has experience working across diverse issues, and welcomes sharing his professional perspective with those seeking support. He is not accepting clients at this time.

Philip works in English and integrates life experience, clinical training, and practical strategies to support people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting and intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, self-esteem and career questions, ADHD and bipolar concerns, and other complex life changes.
