Kari Geldernick, LSW

Licensed Social Worker

Hello, I’m Kari, a Licensed Social Worker at our South Side Flats location. I work with adults navigating a variety of life challenges, mental health concerns, and transitions. My professional background includes extensive community-based experience supporting individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, experiencing homelessness, navigating substance use, working to reduce involvement with the criminal justice system, and managing complex and chronic health conditions. I recognize that everyone’s journey is different, and I strive to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals.

I utilize CBT, DBT and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients develop practical coping skills, navigate challenges, and build on their existing strengths. My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and grounded in meeting each person where they are.

I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood while also being encouraged to work toward meaningful growth and change. I look forward to coming along side you to reach your goals.
