Dr. Irma Sandoval-Arocho, Lcsw

I have a doctorate and masters degree in social work and have over 25 years of post-MSW social work practice experience and for the past 12 years, I've been a licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked in the nonprofit sector, schools, hospitals, and most recently developing social work education programs in higher education and training Bachelor's-level (B.S.W.) generalist social workers to enter the profession with competence and confidence.

I am licensed in New Jersey and Puerto Rico and can provide therapy in both English and Spanish. I offer a space where clients can show up fully and be understood in the language that feels most natural to them. My approach is grounded in a strength-based and solution-focused approach, which means we don’t stay stuck only talking about what’s wrong. Instead, we work together to notice your strengths and move forward.

I frame therapy from a strength based perspective and use a solutions-focused approach.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning. My work is collaborative and focused on helping you move toward a life that feels more grounded and balanced.
