Bernice Hardman (she/her)

Since 2009, my focus has been interpersonal practice with children, youth, and families. I have worked with numerous families and children within a nonprofit organization. The families I supported were navigating the emotion distress of parenthood, child development, school engagement, and managing academic support. As well as learning to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, body image issues, anger, and family conflict.

My studies of Psychology, American Culture and Social Work increased my passions to focus my work on providing space for individuals of all racial identities to have a space to explore that part of themselves and how racial identity influences their life experiences and their treatments for mental health service. This has been an important part of my work since 2007.

In 2015 my career path allowed me the opportunity to work with adults and enhance their professional development. I worked specifically with social work interns at various levels within the field to gain knowledge, craft their skills, and increase their ability to work with diverse individuals. I have worked with parents who have returned to school or changed professions to advance themselves.
