Terry "TJ" Rumler, LISW-CP

Terry "TJ" Rumler is an independent clinical social worker and a military combat veteran who brings both professional training and lived experience to his work. He practices full time with a community non-profit organization and has spent years working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and life situations. As a LISW-CP - Licensed Independent Social Worker in Clinical Practice - he blends motivational methods with a client-centered stance to support each person where they are and help them move toward their goals.

Known for a nonjudgmental and hopeful approach, he emphasizes collaboration and respect in the therapeutic relationship. He offers a motivational, client-centered framework that focuses on a person’s strengths while helping them address stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and other challenges. He makes additional room in his practice for issues such as codependency, communication problems, veteran and armed forces concerns, and young adult or workplace difficulties.

Since this work is not his only full-time commitment, his availability is limited to a few time slots per week, so he may not be the best fit for someone who needs highly flexible scheduling. He also shares a short video that outlines his approach for those who want to learn more. Terry views each client’s story as important and approaches the next chapter with support and practical guidance.
