Elena Almonte

I am a licensed social worker in the state of Rhode Island with many years of professional social work experience. In the beginning of my career, I devoted a total of 11 years working as an academic and career counselor. However, for the last 13 years I have acquired my clinical experience in the mental health/ hospital settings. Helping clients to reduce or overcome stress and anxiety, manage relationships, adjustment disorders due to medical issues, cope with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I am a bilingual-Spanish and English-and bicultural social worker who understands and empathizes with her clients and most importantly listens to their concerns coming from similar background and cultural differences. The most common techniques I utilize in therapy are as follow: Motivational, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Client Centered. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming issues that might be challenging for you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
