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.
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.
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.
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.

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
