Kieran Delamere, LCSW
Kieran’s life was forever changed in 1982, when a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed. The lessons he learned while recovering from that injury, as well as those learned from each experience along the way, have helped shape his uniquely optimistic approach.
Kieran received his Masters in social work from Fordham University in 2001 and worked as a social work case manager at Danbury Hospital before taking a position as a Behavioral Health Consultant in 2016.
Kieran’s focus is on increasing the hopefulness of all he serves. He uses an objective, compassionate approach to help people view their story through a new, more positive lens. He is a student of perspective and particularly interested in mindfulness and mindful breathing.
