Rodney Lomax, LCSW-C

Rodney Lomax is a Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) therapist with Empowering Minds Resource Center. He is a Morgan State University alumnus and is experienced in a variety of clinical settings. As a youth, at age 12, he was adversely impacted by the murder of his father. This experience, along with other challenges in his life, was the catalyst for him to become a change agent.



Rodney has provided therapeutic services to diverse populations in urban educational systems, community-based outpatient programs, and inpatient behavioral health. He uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, and Holistic approaches to assist individuals and families with learning and cultivating skills that promote healthier lifestyles. These tenets foster healing within the individual, family, community, and society. His goals parallel the agency’s mission, which is to provide resources and skills to marginalized individuals who typically are reluctant to seek services. Echoed are the sentiments of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “What we fear of doing most is usually what we most need to do.”
