Hi. I am a licensed psychologist who was trained at New York University. I am licensed in New Jersey and in New York. I have worked for over 25 years in different capacities within the field of psychology. I enjoy working with people who are at the crossroads of decision making regarding their careers, relationships and who are experiencing a need to to explore more about their self-esteem and the gratification or non-gratification they derive fro interpersonal exchanges.
In our first session you may find me asking questions about your current crisis or need. You will also hear my statements regarding cancellation policy, and most importantly privacy policy. I will summarize our conversation so that we can both decide what we will focus on initially, establishing diagnosis and our initial treatment goals.
I have been able to work with young adults in a self-affirming manner. Helping them identify the underlying causes of their current issues (i.e., relationship problems, anxiety, depression) has been a hallmark of my clinical work. Helping clients articulate their hopes, dreams and fears has been one of my guidelines in treatment.
I work well with young adults and mature adults who are having life transitions and/or loss. I have enjoyed supporting clients who are struggling to clarify values as they manage intimate relationships. I have been successful at helping young adults recover from the grief of loss of relationships and jobs. I firmly believe that the best antidote to low self-esteem is an emotionally corrective therapeutic experience in which the client re-discovers their uniqueness and their strengths.

This approach affords the client with insights on his/her relational style as the relationship with the therapist evolves. It has helped trace the root cause of current difficulties in client's relationships with significant others, their process of grief and loss if it is at the crux of their presenting problem.
Cognitive behavioral psychotherapy has been extremely helpful in treating clients with anxiety and depression. It provides the tools to help client engage in cognitive re-structuring while coping with anxiety. This approach facilitates offering coping techniques and strategies.
This approach seems to work well with the Adult and senior clients who are seeking to deal with their life events of loss, termination of relationships and ruptures in their relationships with significant others. It helps them see the therapist as a similar other who has navigated his/her own interpersonal events while holding on to their intrinsic values and feeling grounded.

I was looking for someone who could understand my past and fuse it with my present, to understand my actual position and where I am moving forward. Awilda has exceeded my expectations. I feel very much relieved that I have found someone who can relate to my roots and who has the maturity to talk to me with knowledge and professionalism. Si eres boricua, no dudes en seleccionarla como tu psicóloga.

Awilda is a great psychologist, she’s kind and has a sense of humor that makes you feel comfortable, looks out for your strengths and makes you feel understood easily. I connected with her immediately. I chose her as my new therapist and definitely couldn’t be a better fit for my needs.
