I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia. I offer therapy for people of all ages and all mental health and substance use difficulties, in whatever combination they occur. I have also helped couples and families work out their problems. As a social worker I look at every area of life, believing that where we live, our physical wellness, our relationships, the way we think, our past, the emotions we experience, what gives our lives meaning and purpose and often so many other factors all play a part in making our lives what they are, so the treatment I offer looks at all of these. Everything we talk about is strictly confidential, allowing us to talk about anything and everything. I never judge and you can expect me to be honest and truthful with you. I absolutely believe in the potential for everyone to experience a positive change in their life. I use a number of different therapeutic styles many of which include helping people manage their problems, figure out what is really important to them, work out what they want from life and what they can do to move them towards their hopes and dreams. I am an American citizen but was born and spent the first 30 years of my life in England and I still retain much of my accent. My first career was working for the British government. I returned to school and obtained my Master’s degree in Social Work at the age of 40. As well as academic and theoretical knowledge, I draw on a broad range of life experiences including having had my own personal struggles with both mental health problems and substance use. At present I offer standard office hour appointments, Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 pm, although I have accommodated individual scheduling requirements in the past. Our initial visit includes a lot of information gathering to help me better understand what I can do to help you. I look forward to meeting you, hearing your life story and helping you write the next chapter.

Philip Bloomer is, hands down, the best therapist I've worked with. He listens attentively, he's receptive of my thoughts and ideas, he's thoughtful, unafraid to challenge me, and is genuinely a decent and jovial human being.

Phillip has helped me tremendously. I have had many bad experiences with therapist and online sessions. This has been the opposite, the app offers many ways to better your mental status. I will continue to use this app and have sessions with Philip. He is very intelligent and explains things very thoroughly.

I’ve only had a few sessions, but Phil always has the best advice, and I feel like I’m talking to an old friend who “gets me”. I really think I’ll begin to find myself again, and work through my past traumas with Phil in my corner! Not to mention he has a great laugh that could put a smile on anyones face. I’m truly appreciating the time we get to spend together figuring me out! Coming from a skeptic who’s been through the wringer with therapists - I finally believe I have found my match.
