The Formal Stuff
Hello, my name is Heather Brandenburg, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Kentucky children, families, and individuals who have made it through some of the darkest places in their lives. It has been a pleasure to watch others find their inner strength.
Morehead State University graduate Social work, completing 400 practicum hours. Later, graduating from the University of Louisville with a Master’s in Science and Social Work, adding another 450 hours of clinical practicum experience.
As a Certified Social Worker (CSW). I practiced under the supervision of a LCSW for 3 years in order to receive my own LCSW. During these years, I provided in person therapy sessions to individuals who had experienced adverse child experiences, domestic violence and/or other types of trauma. Serving the Richmond, Lexington, and Winchester area.
Since 2019, I’ve been active in the education sector of social work, facilitating trainings for fellow social workers and contributing to professional growth in the field. At the same time, I’ve invested in my own growth—becoming EMDR-trained in 2020 and continuing my consultation hours as I work toward full EMDR certification.
My path as both a clinician and an educator is ongoing, and I look forward to continuing this work with the same dedication I’ve brought from the very beginning.
