Hi there, I'm Jose!

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Springfield, Massachusetts. I provide telehealth services to clients statewide and specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and substance use challenges.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use disorders. I have extensive experience with individuals going through life transitions, addressing internalized stigma, or seeking a more positive outlook.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I frequently use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as these evidence-based modalities empower clients to identify their strengths, set achievable goals, and take actionable steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
