Hi there! My name is Ligia Recinos, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a second generation Latina and Bilingual in Spanish. I come from a large Hispanic family that have experienced a range of life experiences, which ultimately led me to the career path in helping others in their healing journey. I have gained my experience working in non-profit organizations and hospital settings, working with children, youth, and adults providing a range of services including individual, couples, and group therapy. I have also provided consultation, assessment, evaluation, and case management for individuals with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and their families. I have also created and facilitated workshops for our community and school settings on various topics that support our mental health and growth.
All of my experiences have taught me the importance of collaboration and creating a team for my clients. I am honored to be part of your new team.
I believe that when life happens it can be overwhelming to cope with and finding our ‘new’ normal might be difficult, but it’s often easier to talk to someone about it. Sometimes, when we talk to our loved ones, it can be met with judgement. It can be helpful to have a safe space to talk about our experiences without judgment. In therapy, we work on identifying triggers while processing thoughts/emotions, learning ways to cope, and practicing learned skills in that safe space.
I look forward to working alongside you in your healing process.
