Welcome! My name is Ana De Jesus and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been a therapist for over 12 years. My approach to therapy is to walk with you side by side in your mental health journey. I believe that in order for you to get what you need from therapy, you are an active participant in treatment and I am there to support you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, you can expect to do a thorough assessment where we talk a little bit about your past and present in order for me to get to know you better. We also go over confidentiality and mandatory reporting, and you can also ask me questions you may have regarding your treatment. This is also a great time to ensure that it is a good fit for us both!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider is that our sessions become a safe space for you to share your thoughts and feeling freely without judgement.
