(he/him)
My name is Daniel Llerena. I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 5 years. I received my bachelor's degree at Central Connecticut University New Britain, CT and Master’ degree in social work from University of Connecticut School of Social Work, Hartford, CT. I have extensive experience in proving therapeutic services, psychosocial assessments and evidence-based interventions to individuals. Skilled in addressing mental health challenges and social adjustment issues across diverse populations. I am committed to fostering client empowerment, resilience and holistic wellbeing through person-centered care and ethical practice.
The first session will be discussing the needs/presenting concern(s), assessing compatibility and making referrals when necessary to appropriate care.
Working with people from various backgrounds and issues has helped me learn from them to be a better clinician. It has given me a stronger understanding of the varying complexities people go through.
I work with adults from a diverse population and socioeconomic backgrounds having challenges with managing stressors, anxiety and depression.
