Amy Acosta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York and graduate of Columbia University School of Social Work with experience supporting adults living with severe and persistent mental illness, complex trauma, and co-occurring psychosocial challenges. As a bilingual clinician fluent in Spanish, I am passionate about providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care to diverse populations across inpatient medical and psychiatric settings. My clinical background includes case management, supportive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and group facilitation, with a strong focus on building therapeutic relationships grounded in empathy, collaboration, and dignity. In recent years, I have expanded into leadership and supervisory roles, providing guidance and mentorship to social work interns and clinical staff within hospital-based medicine and psychiatry services. I value fostering supportive team environments, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, and helping clinicians grow in their practice while delivering high-quality patient care.
