Experience

Fred Finch Youth & Family Services

• United States
• Non-profit Organizations
• 200 - 300 Employee

• Associate Clinical Social Worker/ Social Work Intern

  • Jan 2022 - Present

  I have been privileged to go into the community to engage with participants. I provide in-the-field crisis intervention, counseling, treatment, support, and case management for transition-age youth (TAY) and adults with severe and persistent mental illness. This means I respectfully go into the homes and communities of Oakland/Hayward community members to conduct assessments, check in on well-being, and coordinate services as needed. Assertive Community Treatment is predicated on meeting the client where they are, both physically and emotionally in support of the tenet that participants thrive best in their own environment. Therapeutic engagement is done in natural exchanges and outside of clinical settings in nearly all instances. Some modalities I’ve used for intervention include Traumatic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma- Focused CBT, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Family Systems Counseling, and Somatic Experiencing. I’m honored to step into these people’s lives if only for an hour or two per week, to offer direct support, resources, and compassion. Show less
