I would like to take this opportunity to say congratulations for taking the first step towards your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. It is a huge commitment and it is brave of you to want to invest the time and effort in yourself and work towards whole-being healing. Taking the time to care for your mental and emotional health should be a priority. My name is Dora Cario and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I possess a Bachelor in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families, and the LBGTQIA +community. My approach is to encourage and support you to be an active participant in your healing journey. I believe our body, brain, and soul are all connected and work in collaboration with each other. Therefore, it is important to provide healing for the mind, the body, and your core being. The goal is to reach all your inner connectedness and bring them together for a whole-body experience by using both traditional talk and integrative therapies. It is my philosophy that a therapist-client relationship is incredibly unique. Using a variety of treatment techniques including strengths-based therapy, rational emotive behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and guided meditation is an important component of my treatment approach. I offer an open and safe, non-judgmental environment allowing you to feel heard, accepted, validated, and respected. Let us begin because your healing journey starts right now.
