Hi there, I'm Mauricio. I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor from New York City, and such, have seen or been involved in my fair share situations. I have spent most of my counseling career as an addictions counselor (substance use and problem gambling), and through that experience, I have worked with many co-occurring issues/conditions such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, career/life transitions, and trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I will ask questions to get to know you better, and more importantly, to clarify what brings you to treatment. We will discuss your history with your concerns, what you have done to alleviate symptoms in the past, and what you are willing to do in the future. After our sessions, my clients can expect to feel empowered to make well thought out decisions in their lives and approach their lives with confidence.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am an easygoing, supportive, resourceful, and empathetic therapist and person.
