Kim Rickard Consulting
Summary
I have worked as a Social Worker for 35 years in the hospital, nursing homes, First Nations, Extramural Program, and community social services. During Covid I worked Casual for a few years in the hospital and have since retired from there to rebuild my private practice. I have a home office, but I am willing to do home visits or meet with you virtually. I offer supportive counselling, grief and loss counselling, coping with stress, caregiver support, adjustment to chronic illness, and life transitions.
