Hello, I am Colleen Llacsa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters Degree in Social Work and a Masters Degree in International Social Justice and Public Policy from Loyola University. I have been working in the fields of mental health and advocacy since 2005. I believe that when both mental and physical health are prioritized, people can thrive more fully in all aspects of life.When working with patients I use a strength based approach and integrate biological, social, psychological, and environmental factors to understand and support individuals, families, and communities. I believe taking an interdisciplinary focus allows us to address the full spectrum of human experiences, challenges, and needs.
