I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), with 25 years of experience in the field of mental health. I also have a degree in Psychology, with I believe compliments my clinical and social work skills to formulate a more complete and wholistic approach to therapy. Additionally I am a Certified Trauma Professional, and use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as my primary theoretical approach to trauma. I believe that each individual brings into his/her therapy experience a unique set of skills, which I encourage to identify through Narrative Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another form of psychological treatment, which I often use with my clients to identify maladaptive behavioral patterns, and replace them with healthy habits to achieve a sense of healing. Finally I believe in the human connection., which is the power to positively influence one another. I welcome you and commend you for taking charge of your life through therapy!

Aldemar is a genuine caring human being and I can’t recommend him strongly enough. He has had a huge impact in helping make a change I have struggled with my entire life and feel lucky to have been working with him. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I am still early in my journey but the changes I have experienced with his guidance have been immense. Thank you Aldemar!

I have always been skeptical about opening up to anyone. Whether it’s in a session or via chat, Aldemar has helped me to drop the shield and open up. He has offered helpful advice and has given good tools to use on my own. I am very optimistic for the first time in a very long time.
