Erika Rodkey

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have been a social worker for more than 15 years, but my passion for helping others began in elementary school and has continued to grow for decades. I have experience in both school social work and private practice doing individual and group therapy with children, adolescents, and young adults.
