I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy. My nature is conducive to building solid, trusting therapeutic relationships through acceptance, empathy, active listening, and enthusiasm for the work. My goal is to support clients as they pursue their passions, talents, and true happiness. I have honed my clinical skills through the years in varied settings, including outpatient mental, behavioral and community health. I deeply believe that everyone has growth potential.
Hello! My name is Bianca Hormaza Pesola; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I obtained my Master of Social Work degree from Long Island University. Since 2014, I have worked with clients of all ages within several clinical settings. I have over nine years of direct practice experience in the field of mental health. I am committed to helping children, adolescents, and adults achieve mental wellness and overcome challenges in their lives.
I started my career as a litigation attorney in Ireland where I grew up. I spent many years working in law and financial services in the US, Australia, and China. Most recently, I worked as a therapist for a community activist organization.
I was drawn to therapy from my prior career having seen firsthand the enormous value it can bring in improving both the quality and enjoyment of our lives. Therapy offers us a safe space to explore the parts of ourselves we cannot access in the midst of our daily routines. When we get right down to it, the quality of the relationships we have with others flows from the relationship we have with ourselves.
I live in Brooklyn with my husband, our two kids and a mildly anxious dog, whose interest in therapy is limited to eating her feelings. I work with clients both in person, in mid-town Manhattan, and remotely.
