Clinician, trainer, consultant, and founder of Lockwood Wellness
HER STORY
Supporting people at every stage of growth
Virginia Barron, LICSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, parents, families, and the professionals who work alongside them.
Her work brings together clinical practice, youth development, and program leadership, with a focus on helping people feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life.
Virginia was drawn to social work for its holistic, strengths-based approach, which recognizes that truly supporting someone means understanding not only the challenges they face, but also their relationships, environment, experiences, strengths, and the systems around them.
Her career began with a passion for supporting children and young people and grew to include work with parents, families, educators, clinicians, and organizations. Over time, Virginia became increasingly interested in not only helping individuals, but also strengthening the programs and people that support them.
In 2024, she founded Lockwood Wellness to bring those pieces of her work together: clinical care, education, program development, and consultation.
