Carissa Lopez-Bockus
Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate

In undergraduate school I spent two semesters in Brazil and Costa Rica, respectively for cultural immersion, missions and community service, and language acquisition. I am bilingual in English and Spanish. I have previously worked as an interim youth worker at a Lutheran church with middle school and high school students and did my clinical internship at Family Services Association working with adolescents and adults. I work with people through a wellness model and ecological approach, which involves people within their social and family systems and addresses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. My theoretical and treatment model preferences include strengths-based, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy.
