Dhesiay Tiburcio, LCSW

Dhesiay has been in the field of clinical social work for 7 years providing direct services to clients through community mental health. Most of her work consists of individual psychotherapy which involves creating an alliance with clients so clients are able to focus on key components of their lives they would like to work on.

“I began this career in my early 20s where I decided that I have much to give to my community and people of color,” says Dhesiay. “I have always been driven by themes connected to mental health and how these themes are a taboo/ or not allowed to be discussed in our own homes. I wanted to create a safe space and place for emotions and challenges our community faces.”

Dhesiay believes that therapy tends to work well when you are working with people who look like you. There is a cultural level of understanding that many people of color need in order to really address the traumas face in their families.

While Dhesiay is in the business of helping people through therapy, she also loves to continuously learn through the social work profession. “I am forever grateful to the families and professionals who have helped to shape me and have helped me to learn and understand. I want to continue to work and learn all things social work. This field is so broad and you can do many things.”

As she continues to learn about the people she serves, Dhesiay wants people to learn that there are huge benefits to resolving unaddressed traumas in their lives.
