If you’re carrying the weight of trauma, you’ve already done one of the hardest things—survived. My role is to help you do something even more powerful: live without feeling like your past is running the show.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work and a Bachelor’s in Business Administration—a combination that gives me both the clinical insight and the practical clarity to help clients create real, sustainable change. My background allows me to understand people deeply while also recognizing the real-world pressures they navigate every day. Whether we’re working through trauma, rebuilding confidence, or creating a path forward, you’ll find that our work together is grounded, strategic, and truly transformative.
I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.
My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.
I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter, and that therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
Hello and welcome! My name is Carlos, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adolescents, young adults, adults and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and open mindedness.
As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and value creating an inclusive environment that respects each person's unique experiences, culture, and identity. Whether you are facing a current challenge or looking for personal growth, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life’s harder moments with over a decade of experience.
Life has taught me so much. After the school of hard knocks I decided to go to a real college and found that I was not only bright but I had a real talent for helping people. I completed my Ph.D. in clinical psychology specializing in neuropsychological assessments. I was lucky enough to complete a residency at the A. I Dupont Children's hospital. I have also worked with crises units, residential teen facilities, developmental clinics and the division of prevention and behavioral health through the state. I opened my own private practice in January 1999 where i specialized in therapy for children, teens and adults. Now after retiring with 20 years from the state, I am more relaxed and less pressured. I take my time with people, listen to their needs and work with them to help find solutions.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Newark, DE
Searching for therapists in Newark starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare therapists in Newark, DE, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Newark has a smaller local therapy market than larger metro areas, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care connected to Delaware. You may prefer an in-person office near areas like Chestnut Hill, Laird, or Elkton Pike, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and communication approach.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for licensed Delaware therapists, verify your insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and choose a time when you’re ready.
