About me

Hello! My name is Brenda Hardin. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), licensed in the state of Indiana and New Jersey with over nineteen years of experience providing services to clients in multiple capacities in the social work profession, including medical social work, behavior management, individual and family therapy, and group therapy. I have collaborated with clients challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, HIV/AIDS, anger management and other life changing situations.
My approach is individualized, client centered, and strength-based, as I believe clients are the experts of their lives and determine the direction of the therapeutic process. I draw from using a number of treatment modalities that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Person-Centered Therapy.
I believe it takes courage to seek help and take the first steps toward change in pursuing and fulfilling a happy life. Everyone has the capacity but sometimes need additional support to help move in the direction they desire for their lives.
I look forward to collaborating with you!
