Associate Clinical Social Worker
As an associate clinical social worker not only am I very knowledgeable in assisting my clients in all phases of social work, but on how to foster an organizations vision and mission during my strength in assessments and rapport. My objective is to not only strengthen my personal rapport and treatment goals with clients, but to also share the ideologies of the organization I work for. I believe we best serve our chosen population and communities when we realize this. By doing so, we educate the population base we serve and strengthen our beliefs in envisioning a healthy and prosperous future for all.
