Clifford Marsh, LISW-CP

My name is Clifford Marsh.  I been a licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2003.  Throughout my nearly two-decade career working within various specialties, I have a track record for being empathic, caring, understanding, and experienced with working with children, adolescents, and adults.  I have worked as a Social Worker IV (Juvenile Sexual Offender Therapist), School Social Worker/Department Chair for Social Work, Private Practice Practitioner/Clinical Supervisor, Military Family Life Consultant, and most presently, as a full-time Senior Social Worker for the federal government.

I have an undergraduate degree (B.A.) in Applied Sociology and a master’s degree (M.S.W.) in Clinical Social Work from the University of South Carolina.  In addition, I have second master’s degree (M.S.) in Criminal Justice from Capella University, a third master’s degree (MAEd.) in Higher Education Administration from United States University.  My terminal degree, aside from the social work credential, is the Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree in Educational Leadership earned from Walden University.

Aside from social work, I hold Adjunct teaching responsibilities with several colleges and universities.  Collectively, therapy and education are intertwining niches. My philosophy as a therapist is to be client-centered and to genuinely work with each client individually towards identifying his/her strengths so that s/he can build in other areas of their life. When I am not working, I am studying, traveling, and enjoying quality time with close family and friends.
