Julissa M. Almonte (Pérez)
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MT-BC
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Board Certified Music Therapist, and a yoga teacher. I use multiple creative modalities to provide a positive experience for my clients including mindfulness, yoga, story-telling, movement, breath work and writing to name a few. I am particularly interested in cross-cultural/multicultural psychology and currently enjoy working with identity related issues. I also enjoy providing clinical supervision for professionals seeking licensure or just more support. I am currently in the process of forming a group for NICU parents who have previously been or currently have a child in the NICU.
During sessions, we devise a plan together and set real short-term and long-term goals. I will work with you to develop new patterns of thinking and relating to yourself and others using cognitive-behavioral, creative, and dialectical techniques. I also offer telehealth services on an as needed basis.
I have worked in multiple settings including hospitals, LGBT Centers, Employee Assistance Programs, medically fragile programs, women's clinics and schools. I am a featured practitioner in the national queer and trans therapists of color network.
