Nelida Oliveira, LCSW

LIVE HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER WITH MENTAL CARE

I am a bilingual licensed certified social worker in MA with a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Bridgewater State University. I was born and raised in Cape Verde, moving to USA at the age of 13. I completed my undergrad with a degree on Political Science and Criminal Justice. Prior to working with Equilibria Mental Health, I worked with the Department of Children and Families, helping to stabilize families going through a difficult time and at Gilmore Elementary School as an adjustment counselor.

My approach to psychotherapy is that of a collaboration with my clients. I focus on being a great listener, have a strength based and client centered approach. I believe in mutual respect and in having an empathetic relationship with my clients. I also believe that we all have what we need to make a positive change with guidance and support.

Some of the modalities and techniques I like to use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Client/Person Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Motivational Interviewing Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults. I am also experienced with working with diverse groups and have some experience working with couples.

Mental health is an important aspect of our lives and something that I personally deeply care about, and I want to help my community create a healthier and happier life. Let us take the first step together!

In my free time, I like to spend time with friends and family, cook, and watch movies. I also like to travel to tropical places and enjoy hot beaches.
