Edilys Encarnacion

Associate Therapist, MHC-I

OFFICE LOCATION : CONNECTICUT + NEW YORK

Hello and welcome!

It takes courage to prioritize yourself, and you’ve already taken the first important step towards advocating for your needs and moving towards your fullest potential. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaboration, where we work together to meet your goals. My name is Edilys Encarnacion, and I am an Associate Therapist at SHIFT Your Journey. My commitment is to provide a judgment-free, supportive environment that builds on your strengths and promotes your overall well-being.

Our sessions are your space to speak freely and begin the journey of healing. I bring experience working with adolescents in both educational and mental health settings. I have worked closely with adolescents and young adults struggling with eating disorders, depression, and anxiety.

I believe in viewing clients holistically, considering factors such as race, gender, ethnicity, and culture as integral parts of who you are. Together, we will establish what makes you unique and work towards developing positive coping strategies and challenging any maladaptive thoughts or beliefs. My therapeutic approach is integrative, allowing me to tailor techniques to meet your specific needs.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University at Albany and I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Pace University. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their path to personal growth and am excited to be part of your journey. Get in touch!
