Clinician @ OASAS

• Jul 2021 - Present

Clinician at OASAS, a harm reduction-focused outpatient treatment clinic for clients struggling with co-occurring diagnoses, primarily substance use and mental illness. With a client-centered, strengths-based approach, I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy to a vulnerable population using several modalities, including MI, DBT, CBT, Parts Work (IFS). I also assist clients with both identifying and implementing the self-advocacy tools needed to help empower themselves.
