Hello my name is Constance,
I am a License Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the states of Virginia and Florida. I have 7 years of experience employed in behavioral health facilities, outpatient therapy clinics, correctional centers, and also providing medical social work/ therapy to oncology, emergent, and crisis patients in the hospital setting. Focusing on the client through a strength-based approach and building resilience is key in obtaining a therapeutic relationship and striving for successfully outcome. My professional experience includes working with adults with minor to severe mental illness, grief and loss, survivors of traumatic experiences, individuals with major medical conditions, suicidal ideations, domestic violence, child abuse and substance misuse. My niche is providing trauma informed care in addition to several other treatment modalities with all my clients since just living today can be traumatic. Therapy modalities I found through research displaying positive outcomes are Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focus, and Narrative therapies. I'm currently enrolled in a doctoral program specializing in trauma informed care which can be used with any population or individual experiencing a wide range of psychosocial issues. Collaborating with you to build a safe and trustworthy partnership is something I am fully dedicated in doing. Together we will work on treatment goals and conflict resolutions. Most importantly you will be the driver in the front seat. I am compassionate and determined to ensure that you will be successful in your journey towards healing and emotional fortitude. Any issue had is worth being addressed and resolved. I look forward to working with you soon.

Constance has been a great help - especially in suggesting and holding me to account on specific ways to better communicate with my young daughter and husband.
