Getting to know Terrence Word

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping youth, young adults, families, and couples navigate depression, conflict, substance use, and stress. I offer a compassionate, honest approach grounded in your strengths. Starting with our first session, I will focus on understanding who you are and what you're facing. I use humor, empathy, and direct feedback to support real change. My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to change. During my years working in wilderness therapy, I witnessed how stepping into discomfort, when paired with steady support, can lead to powerful transformation. With a background in adolescents and family systems work, I help clients make sense of tough emotions and life transitions. I take a strengths-based and relational approach, using curiosity, humor, and honest reflection to help clients identify needs, notice patterns, and rebuild confidence. Above all, I aim to support growth that feels honest, authentic, and true to who you are—not something forced or contrived. I invite you to book an appointment through ZocDoc and we can see if we're a good fit.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I use CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and family systems therapy, grounded in a strengths-based, relational approach. Sessions are collaborative, supportive, and direct, with space for reflection, skill-building, and honest feedback. Expect a balance of challenge and encouragement rooted in real connection.
