Personal Statement
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a CBT, Insight oriented approach to therapy. The services which I offer are clinically focused and supervised, flexible to meet the clines needs, client centered, compassionate, professional and culturally competent. In addition, I focus on teaching clients coping skills that may include mindfulness meditation, relaxation training, and hypnosis. As a young man I started my career at the Yale Child Study Center at age 23. This led me to work on national institutions as well as local agencies in a variety of related fields. Today, I work within a group setting. As a counselor today, my strongest assess is that I listen to my clients.
My aim is to provide alternative and creative services in a supportive manner that provides long term measurable outcomes. My clinical team is an experienced provider of Family Preservation, Reunification, Foster Care Preservation, Safety Planning Services, Individual, Family, and Group Work. Services are provided by a bilingual Spanish/English multi-disciplinary, multi cultural team.
