About Claudia Christina
I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist fluent in both Spanish and English, bringing over two decades of experience in the mental health industry. My journey led me to establish The Joy In Living, a heartfelt endeavor aimed at fostering global mental health wellness, in my community and the world!
I have a Masters Degree in Social Work from Fordham University. I hold a School Social Work License, a Certificate in Nonprofit management from Fordham University and a Certificate in Breathwork from the Whole Health Project. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Integrative/Holistic Therapy and Mindfulness. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and a trained mental health evaluator by The Physicians for Human Rights Asylum Network. I also hold a Seminar In Field Instruction (SIFI) certification from Columbia University.
Mental health is key to our overall well-being. Our minds and bodies work together to influence how we navigate life; what once sustained us may no longer help us as we evolve and grow. Yet, the skills we have built can be the stepping stones towards creating the life you deserve now.
Often, we already recognize the challenges and our need for change, yet depression, anxiety, or trauma can impede our progress towards healing. My practice is dedicated to facilitating healing, nurturing, personal growth, and fostering holistic wellness of both, body and mind, using interventions that have proven helpful.
Give us a call, it is my pleasure to assist as you make this important step in your life. Together we’ll navigate towards what is meaningful to YOU!
Cultural Awareness
My unique perspective of cultural awareness has been invaluable in providing effective therapy and clinical supervision in program development to a wide range of individuals.
