About
Gerard Riconda received his social work education at Fordham University School of Social Services, where he completed a master’s degree. During his training he worked directly with families and children involved in the foster care system.
He also worked briefly as a medical social worker in a rehabilitation hospital, supporting clients such as amputees and people recovering from stroke and head injuries.
The majority of his clinical work spans 28 years, focused on challenging and hard-to-reach clients across a wide range of diagnoses. He is comfortable working with all client populations and identifies empathy as one of his primary strengths.
Although he has experience with a variety of clinical approaches, he does not assume a single method fits everyone - he collaborates with each person to determine the best way to address their needs. He practices in New York and is a licensed clinical social worker in the state.
