Kathleen Sprengel is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker located in Boston, MA who works with young adults and adults, including couples. As an LGBTQ affirming therapist, she enjoys working with clients of all backgrounds, identifies, relationship structures, and mental health needs. Many of her clients begin therapy to work through communication challenges that can result in tension in their relationships or those who find that their mental health holds them back from fully enjoying their daily lives.
