Philip Bloomer, LCSW, LICSW

Philip Bloomer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 11 years of practice. He is based in Kentucky and works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD and other life changes.

Philip approaches therapy from a broad life-perspective. He considers housing, physical health, relationships, thinking patterns, past experiences, emotions and a person’s sense of meaning when planning care. Sessions start with information-gathering so he can understand practical needs and priorities. He aims to be direct and honest in conversation while avoiding judgment.

Philip uses several therapeutic styles to help people manage problems and clarify what matters most. He works on concrete steps clients can take toward their goals, and on building skills for coping and decision-making. He also draws on mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to reduce reactivity and increase focus on chosen values.

His background includes a Master’s degree in Social Work earned after a first career in the British civil service. He is an American citizen who grew up in England and retains his accent. He also speaks from lived experience of mental health and substance use recovery.

Typical appointments are scheduled during weekday office hours, and the first visit focuses on gathering information and setting initial goals. Prospective clients are encouraged to review session options and scheduling details before booking.
