Great to meet you!

Altagracia is a licensed clinical social worker in New York state who has been in the helping professions for over 20 years. She has worked as a Case Manager in the fields of foster care and entitlements. Counseling and clinical services to individuals suffering from co occurring disorders.

My approach to therapy

I am empathetic and a good listener. The initial contact will start with a free consultation to assess the reason for seeking treatment and to determine if I will be the right fit for you. Progress is measured periodically during the course of treatment and at the end of treatment. Since every individual is unique, some clients are assigned homework to review skills learned and practice coping skills during the sessions to review progress.

What you can expect from me

The goal is that once treatment is ended the patient is able to regain control of their emotions and return to baseline level of effective functioning.
