More about Marisa Esparza, LPC

My name Is Marisa Esparza. I am a licensed LPC in Texas. I have worked in several settings that allow me to recognize the barriers and conflicts with receiving mental health treatment. As a Program Manager of the children and adolescents inpatient unit and military outpatient group and Program Manager of the adolescent outpatient group, I was able to work collaboratively with patients, medical staff, and families to help stabilize high-risk children and adults. I Provided psychological and risk assessments to determine needs and communicate with medical staff. I worked collaboratively with treatment teams and attended to the emergency crisis on the unit. I built rapport with adults and children and provided verbal de-escalation when in trouble. I assisted the medical staff and the treatment team in determining safety in the community. Previously I worked s a qualified mental health professional on the Assertive Community Treatment Team. I provided individual psychiatric rehabilitative skills training and crisis assessment/management in consumers' homes and the community. I provided ongoing assessment and preliminary diagnosis of present Axis 1 psychiatric and co-occurring disorders. My job required coordinating community resources to assess medical, social, educational, financial, and other appropriate services that help achieve an improved quality of life, increase tenure in the community, and decrease the need for unnecessary inpatient hospitalization. As a Mental Health Technician in the Children and Adolescent Unit, I helped admit and discharge patients. I maintained close contact with them and monitored vital signs such as heart rate and blood pressure. I observed patient behaviors, recorded their conditions, and led them in therapeutic and recreational activities. I regularly consulted with RNs, LVNs, social workers, doctors, and therapists. And I am confident in my skills and abilities and am willing to work with all populations.
