Vicki Weld, MSW, LICSW

Vicki Weld earned her degree at the Smith College School for Social Work. A clinical social worker for 26 years, her work has focused primarily on child social/emotional development, education groups on parenting, and psychotherapy for people of all ages. Having studied family therapy as a specialty area, her passion is family therapy, and she is fascinated by family systems and larger systems. She currently works fulltime in an outpatient clinic in a hospital, offering services to children and families around medical illnesses, trauma (PTSD), depression, behavioral challenges, and anxiety. She also has a private therapy practice in which she sees a wide variety of children and adults. Embracing the model of Psychosocial Capacity Building, the Trainer of Trainers model, and the cross-cultural work with leaders in Northern Uganda have been rewarding and inspiring for her. Clearly a path to mutual growth and positive change, she has been excited to be part of this team effort and looks forward to working with STEP-UP in the future.
