What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can continue to support individuals in their mental health journeys, ideally in a collaborative and compassionate environment that values professional growth.

My name is Patricia Balseiro, and I am a dedicated mental health associate with a strong background in social work and psychology. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor's in Social Work and a minor in Psychology, where I was honored to be on the Dean's List. My academic journey has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to support individuals facing mental health challenges.

In my current role at High Focus Centers, I engage daily with patients to help them manage their mental health disorders. I provide care, teach coping skills, and co-facilitate group therapy sessions. My experience also includes working as a store associate at Bath and Body Works, where I honed my customer service skills, and as a delivery driver for Doordash, where I developed strong time management abilities. My volunteer work has further solidified my commitment to helping others, as I provided support to individuals facing various life challenges.
