Carolynn Gillis, MSW, LICSW

It takes a brave and courageous person to know when they need support and currently you are taking the first big step! At different chapters in our lives, we come across certain challenges that we look towards others to assist us in processing our thoughts and feelings. During our sessions, it is my goal to teach you skills in order to be the best version of yourself that you want to be.While working with individuals, my philosophy is you are the driver, and I am just the navigator.

 

I graduated from Bridgewater State University, in 2017, with my Masters in Social Work. I have worked in medical and psychiatric hospitals, community settings, forensics, and schools. I come with a great wealth of knowledge of community support and how to navigate state funded systems. 

​

I have developed a strong passion for providing support to women and their families during their prenatal and perinatal period. In addition to providing therapeutic services, I am a social worker at a local community hospital and I work on the maternity section. The journey to parenthood is the one of the most magical and exciting times in one's life, but no one tells you that the journey to parenthood can be challenging, anxiety producing, questioning and self-doubting. As a mother of 3 small children and 1 adolescent, I can relate.  During our sessions I will be present, be compassionate, understanding and have a kind demeanor.  

 

During this difficult time in your life, remember to be kind to yourself. I hope to hear from you soon!
