Clay Cockrell, LCSW
My name is Clay Cockrell and I am the
founder of Walk and Talk Therapy. I am a
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and
have over 15 years experience as a
practicing therapist.
I believe that a person is a culmination of their
past experiences and I’d like to share a few
of mine. I have had the privilege to work in
several different settings that I believe
provides me with a unique ability to relate to
my clients.
My years on Wall Street have provided me a
great insight into the unique pressures of the
corporate world. I’ve watched and
participated in the triumphs and tragedies,
the wins and losses of this unbelievably
competitive world.
And as a small business owner and
entrepreneur, I am also aware of the daily
war that is fought to keep afloat. I know the
fears and anxieties of risking everything on an
idea and a dream, and the passion that fuels
the “long hours of doing everything”. And I
know the pain of failure is better than living
with the knowledge that you never tried.
Several of my clients and family are in the
entertainment industry (film, music, theater),
and I too have personal experience with the
frustrations, joys, and injustices of this industry.
And living and working in New York City has
made me acutely aware of the stresses of
city life…the odd sensation of feeling alone
while being surrounded by millions of people.
But I was born and raised on farm land in
Kentucky and am quite familiar with the
difficulties of rural small town life.
And family? Well, we all have some nuts in
our trees.
