Lidia (she/her) is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) in North Carolina with extensive experience in outpatient mental health, child welfare, refugee services, and community-based care across both the United States and internationally. She works with adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral challenges, and major life transitions. Her style is warm, grounded, and collaborative—focused on creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and actively involved in their healing process.

With over a decade of experience across Spain and the United States, Lidia brings a multicultural and systems-informed perspective to her work. She understands that mental health is shaped not only by what happens within a person, but also by family dynamics, culture, life experiences, and the environments people are living in. Because of this, she often supports clients not only in therapy sessions, but also in navigating real-world challenges by connecting them to resources and helping them make sense of the systems around them. Her clinical work is rooted in evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including CBT, TF-CBT, CPT, DBT, PCIT, CPP, Internal Family Systems (IFS), family therapy, group therapy, and community-based interventions. She brings experience from both direct clinical care and program development in child welfare and behavioral health systems, allowing her to understand concerns from both an individual and broader contextual level.

Lidia believes therapy is not only about reducing symptoms, but about helping people create lives that feel meaningful and aligned with their values. Her goal is to support clients in moving beyond symptom relief toward a stronger sense of direction, agency, and self-trust. She strives to help each person wake up every morning and ask themselves: “What choice can I make today that brings me closer to the life I want to live?” In her work, she walks alongside clients as they move toward a future worth living—one decision, one step, and one moment at a time.
