I hold the title of Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am the proprietor of TEA Time Therapeutic Services LLC. My journey in the Behavioral Health field commenced in 2016, encompassing dedicated work with diverse individuals and families facing various life challenges. I successfully completed two years of supervision, accumulating over 1,500 hours of clinical experience to attain the LCSW designation. Graduating from the Advanced Standing program at Florida International University in 2018 with a Master of Social Work, I have since applied my expertise in providing evidence-based treatment to a broad spectrum of clients, including children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly population.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our initial session will involve a comprehensive assessment to better tailor our approach, and together we'll collaboratively craft a treatment plan to navigate and address your needs in subsequent sessions. In our sessions, you'll encounter a therapist who exudes warmth, care, and attentiveness. Described by clients as down-to-earth, humorous, honest, and engaging, you'll quickly grasp my personality, values, and unwavering dedication. With me, you can expect a blend of clinical expertise and compassionate, comforting, collaborative, committed, and confidential care.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my extensive years of experience in the field. With a background that spans several years in the Behavioral Health arena, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and a nuanced understanding of diverse client needs. This tenure has not only honed my clinical skills but has also cultivated a deep appreciation for the resilience and unique journeys of the individuals and families I have worked with. Furthermore, I pride myself on creating a therapeutic environment that is warm, compassionate, and engaging. Clients often describe me as down-to-earth, funny, and honest, reflecting my commitment to establishing a genuine and trusting rapport. This relational foundation allows for a more open exploration of clients' thoughts, emotions, and actions without fear of judgment. In addition to my clinical expertise, my continuous dedication to professional development ensures that I stay current with the latest therapeutic approaches and evidence-based practices. This commitment to ongoing learning allows me to provide the highest quality of care, tailored to the specific needs of each individual I serve.
