As a N.Y.S Certified Bilingual psychotherapist, I assist clients with problems in Spanish and English, while helping them to identity and use their own strengths to deal and cope with situations. I also encourage clients to negotiate situations in their current environment that can contribute to stress, while empowering them throughout the therapeutic process. I assess and evaluate clients, develop a treatment plan in conjunction with the client, identity available resources and services, and provide direct services such as counseling, psychotherapy, and case management to evaluate their progress.
