Raisa M Rodriguez-Torres

( English | español ) I’m a latina/bilingual Social Worker. I specialized in Trauma, Managing Depression and Anxiety with young adults (18-35) and aging/geriatric adults (60+). I take pride in working with diverse individuals from all cultural backgrounds. As well, I’m also trained in Neurocognitive Disorders, specifically with Alzheimer’s. I have collaborated with caregivers of Alzheimer patients; managing the stress that comes with this important role, offering a space of respite, and also sharing activities of cognitive stimulation to do at home with the patient. My practice is multi-culturally centered and trauma informed. My goal is to provide a safe space were you can feel comfortable, heard, and at ease to develop skills, identify inner strengths and establish your own treatment goals. I earned my Masters in Social Work from University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus. I also earned Graduate Certificate in Gerontology from the University of Puerto Rico, Medical Sciences Campus. **Currently accepting new clients in the Flatiron District. Saludos, todxs.
