About Raymond Batista

Raymond Batista

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York

Rated 4.38 on Zocdoc

As a licensed clinical social worker and adjunct instructor of clinical practice, I bring a unique theoretical and practical blend of experience to the table. My journey has been shaped by diverse experiences, from working with people in recovery from substance use at NYU Langone's treatment team to contributing to mental health tech start-ups. Additionally, I am deeply committed to serving the LGBT community through past pro-bono work and my private practice.

My passion lies in psychotherapy. I believe in the power of compassionate listening, evidence-based interventions, and collaborative healing. Whether it's addressing addiction, trauma, or mental health challenges, I approach each client with empathy and a commitment to their well-being and understanding their lived and intersectional experiences.
