My name is Alex Thistlethwaite-Parra, I am a licensed social worker in PA. I am excited to be a part of the team at Ramous Psychology and Associates.
My educational background includes a bachelor’s degree in social work from West Liberty University, as well as my master’s degree in social work from the University of Pittsburgh. I studied Spanish in college as well, and am fluent in the language. Throughout my training and post graduate work I have gained experience working with children and adults through the lifespan.
I have provided services for children in the school setting. My time within a school setting has given me experience with the numerous stressors that challenge children every day including academic, social, personal and family dynamics. I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults with learning issues, ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism and neurodevelopmental disorders. I also enjoy working with clients to help improve their social and family relationships.
Additionally, I have worked in an outpatient setting with a multidisciplinary team that provides psychiatric assistance to individuals. My time in this setting has allowed me to become more understanding of other professional viewpoints in order to provide the best continuity of care for clients.
¡Todos son bienvenidos a mi oficina! Everyone is welcome in my office! I look forward to meeting you and beginning my commitment to helping you or your family grow and reach your goals.
