Kimberley Rickard
Qualifications
I am the owner/operator of Kim Rickard Consulting, a counselling, consulting and clinical supervision business. After thirty-plus years working as a registered social worker, I started my private practice.
I worked at local hospitals, and the NB Extramural Hospital, where I gained valuable experience working with individuals, couples and families. My role was to assess and provide counselling to those adjusting to chronic illness, experiencing relationship issues, dealing with grief and loss, addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression and stress.
I had an opportunity to be employed by an N.B. First Nation community as a Director of Child and Family Services, where I was responsible for supervising staff and providing all social services to the people living in this community.
I began my professional career at the N.B. Department of Social Development, as a case manager for Adult Services, which included adults aged nineteen and up. My role was to provide assessments and matching for those requiring community placement in the Fredericton and surrounding area.
Relevant Experience
From the beginning of my career, I have taken social work students yearly to provide mentorship. Being part of their education offered me an opportunity to share my knowledge and experience.
I participated in a variety of educational opportunities, both in my place of employment and through additional evidence-based practice. Most recently, I graduated with my Master's in Health Social Work in 2025 from the University of Waterloo.
Staying current with evidence-based training is a personal goal and a professional requirement of my professional registration with the NBASW, where I hold my license to practice #536.
