LCSW, 13 years of experience
Hi, my name is Bianca Mercado and I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My therapeutic approach encompasses an array of therapeutic modalities, all which are centered around each individual’s needs. My goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all my patients. My passion for working with individuals combined with my knowledge and expertise can assist in helping you reach your full potential. Let's work together to reach your goals. I use a combination of: Cognitive-Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Narrative, Family systems, and Psychodynamic therapy. By focusing on the positives, my patients can start to see the progress they are making in their journey.
In our first session together, we will start with a brief introduction of therapy and continue to dive into understanding who you are. I like to listen to you share what makes you, you.
Having worked with a newborn to an 85 year old, my greatest strength as a provider is the ability to be able to get to know the person for whom they are.
Over the last 13+ years as a clinician I have enjoyed working with an array of individuals. Most people feel overwhelmed, anxious, or have struggled with a traumatic event in their lives that they need assistance to process it all.
I have utilized Trauma Focused CBT for over 10 years. I enjoy this modality of work as we are able to focus on the coping skills, support system, and overall wellbeing of the person prior to addressing the trauma.
As a person of color and a daughter to immigrant parents, I am passionate of cultural sensitivity and thrive to learn about everyone’s culture and how that plays a role in their life as well as in therapy.
Sometimes we have one specific thing we want to address and Solution Focused Brief Treatment is the right choice for those instances.
