Natalia AponteLicensed Social Worker, LSW

About

I provide services to individuals who are struggling with self-esteem and self-concept during major life transitions. I’ll work with you to achieve a higher level of self, which may have been compromised by a crisis. Perhaps you’re an individual who struggles with negative self-talk and compares yourself to others. Or one whose feelings affect them at work and school, and one who often hides their authentic self. I want to help you strengthen your sense of self and develop a positive self-concept, reducing self-criticism and practicing self-compassion. I offer one-on-one mental health services in both English and Spanish. I offer a safe space for your vulnerability and will help you feel accepted with empathy and without judgment. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help replace self-defeating beliefs with more balanced, realistic ones. I also use Narrative therapy to help you re-author your story and build a more empowering self-narrative.
