About me

" Fall Seven Times, Stand up Eight". These are the words I encourage my clients to reflect upon. My name is Dushun Beckford-Torres and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience in the field of social work and four years of counseling experience with a focus on substance abuse, recovery and mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, within all age groups providing individual and group therapy. I have a passion for social justice issues and advocacy and truly believe that one of our best tools is developing the skills for self advocacy. I believe it's important to gain a better understanding of, and address with caution, our traumas in order to begin the journey toward personal healing.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused, client centered, exploration of coping skills and relationships as well as a humanistic approach. Individualism is important, therefore each treatment plan would be tailored directly to your specific and unique needs.

It takes courage to reach out for support and to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life. Change can be challenging, and you have taken the first huge step toward facing that challenge. If you are ready to continue on your path of healing, I am here to provide support and encouragement. I look forward seeing you grow through your journey!

Dushun is an amazing therapist. She truly cares about my needs and provided me with the necessary tools to be successful. She truly makes me feel comfortable opening up to her about my life issues.
