StartingPoint Therapy LLC

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in East Lyme, CT. I have been in the clinical field for over 8 years and have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health centers and dual diagnosis intensive outpatient programs. I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and from diverse backgrounds, each with their unique struggles and needs. My educational background is in developmental psychology and clinical social work. This has provided me a better understanding of mental health throughout the life span and the ability to understand how our circumstances and environment impact our mental health. Most importantly, I bring life experience to my clinical care as it is the main reason I do the work I do. This allows me the ability to genuinely empathize with my clients. I have an extensive background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and utilize an eclectic client centered approach tailored to each individual client's needs. I also have experience in group therapy and I am hoping to offer this service in the near future. My goal is to help you reach your treatment goals and leave my office feeling empowered and ready to face the world.
