New to Grow
My name is Ada and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I present and identify as a cis gender female of LatinX background. I was born and raised in Massachusetts, but my family is from Central America. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker. My background includes work with integrated behavioral health care in primary care offices, crisis work, and outpatient therapy for individuals of all ages.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I am flexible and try to be understanding during treatment. I try to openly communicate my expectations as a provider, in hopes of creating a safe environment.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I hold both a master's in social work and a master's in public health. I love to bring in my public health hat, as it is relevant to our current society. For me, context matters. Given my background in community health, I also have knowledge of navigating larger systems, like the school K-12 environment.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Are you looking for support due to a major life adjustment? Are you open to getting the help you need? I welcome individuals who are seeking support for major life adjustments. I especially have experience with students and professionals who come from a first generation immigrant family.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have many years of experience with this methodology and tend to tailor it to the client's preference
Strength-Based
I have over 6 years of experience with this modality. My primary focus is on strengths based therapy
