Camila is a dedicated and licensed independent clinical social worker with over a decade of experience in the field. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from UMASS Boston in 2008 and her Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Simmons College in 2013.
Camila began her career providing in-home therapy to children and families for four and a half years, delivering services in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

In 2020, Camila briefly supervised at Greater Malden Behavioral Health and began working part-time at Embrace as a clinician. Her role at Embrace quickly evolved, and by 2022, she transitioned to a full-time position where she now provides clinical supervision to other clinicians and interns, alongside her psychotherapy practice.

She is also committed to mentoring other clinicians and offering rich learning experiences to interns.
