Chana Lockerman, LICSW, LCSW-C

I offer a safe space, without judgment, and without pressure. I’m informal, friendly, kind, approachable, caring, competent, and compassionate. My number one goal is to help you feel relief, and more connected to the real you. Every day I help my clients cope with issues like: Overwhelming stress Anxiety and depression Infertility, pregnancy loss, and prenatal & postpartum mood disorders LGBTQ relationships and family building Bereavement Creating and maintaining healthy relationships Learning to be okay with being vulnerable Many of my clients have never seen a therapist before. In therapy, you get to talk about whatever is on your mind. It’s a freeing experience. You can be you, unfiltered. I’ll ask you questions. We’ll find some options.

At Rock Creek Counseling, we love therapy! We're enthusiastic therapists with years of experience and we're also mental health researchers! I love to geek out on therapy, human behavior, social work interventions, and brains! I'm always excited to talk about the how's and why's of therapy. Beyond that, I see the evidence that therapy works because people heal. My approach is compassionate and kind. I love to laugh with you and I will be there to explore your darkness together. Therapy is a journey of self-discovery where we explore how issues impact your life in the here and now, and we find tools that make sense for who you are as a unique individual. No cookie cutter approaches here! The best indicator of success in therapy is that you feel comfortable with your therapist! Please reach out so we can chat and see how we can best partner in getting you to where you want your mental health to be!
