Dale Thompson, LCSW, CSW

Dale Thompson is a licensed social worker who brings three decades of professional experience to his practice. He holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW denotes clinical social work licensure - and has dedicated his career to helping people increase their capacity for healing, coping, forgiveness, and self-management.

Early in his adult life he committed to a life of service, working across settings that include military units, psychiatric hospitals, the justice system, mission and church environments, and elementary and middle school counseling. He served 20 years as an officer counseling military service members and their families and completed multiple deployments as a mental health provider. Those professional roles are paired with lived experience - he is a family man with a wife and four children and has navigated recovery from a traumatic accident that required multiple surgeries and extended hospital stays. That combination of clinical training and personal experience informs his approach to suffering, disappointment, and recovery.

He works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression, and also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, family and fatherhood issues, first responder concerns, and other related areas. His practice emphasizes a holistic, individualized approach delivered with respect for personal decision making, love, and honesty. He meets clients where they are and partners with them to develop the tools and direction needed to move forward.
