Cacilda Pinto

Hi, my name is Cacilda Pinto and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My clients describe me as compassionate, understanding, and insightful. I specialize in working with people who feel overwhelmed and unappreciated. I am passionate about leading them through their healing and growth.

My approach

I am trained in several approaches that can create new insights about your feelings and behaviors. I'll create a tailored plan based on your needs that may include helping you clarify your desires, learn new tools for communication, and identify unhealthy patterns as they unfold. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, where you learn to replace unhealthy thoughts with constructive alternatives.

My focus

I help working professionals who feel stuck on the job or held back by how their brain functions, and people with challenging relationships. My clients include people with attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression.

My communication style

I am authentic and compassionate, and hope to provide an environment where you feel safe. I have observed significant shifts with people I have worked with. I have witnessed them become more empowered and assertive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I wanted to become the therapist I never had. I always wanted to contribute to making this world a better place. I believe that therapists can help people heal and grow as individuals, and in turn, bring healing to the world.

My goals for you

I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to create a treatment plan. Together we will explore how your feelings of anxiousness and perfectionism are present in your body. We will practice grounding and relaxing activities that will help you regulate your own emotions and have more control over your feelings.

My first session with you

During our first session, I hope to get to know you, learn from you about your struggles and ambitions, and how we can best work together.
