Gerard Riconda, LCSW

Gerard Riconda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who completed his social work training at Fordham University School of Social Services. He gained early clinical experience working with families and children involved in the foster care system while earning his master’s degree, and he later served briefly as a medical social worker in a rehabilitation hospital where he supported amputees as well as stroke and head injury patients.

The majority of his practice has involved long-term work with challenging, hard-to-reach clients across a broad range of diagnoses, and he reports extensive hands-on experience spanning 25 years. He is at ease working with diverse client populations and identifies empathy as one of his core strengths. Gerard draws on multiple clinical approaches rather than relying on a single method, and he partners with each person to determine the most appropriate path forward based on their individual needs and goals.
