Belci Encinosa, LCSW

I am a licensed clinician with over 15 years of experience working with children and families. I am firmly committed to supporting the emotional well-being of children, teens, and their parents. My approach is family-centered, compassionate, and based on proven methods that help strengthen relationships and build resilience at every stage of development.

I have specialized training in maternal mental health and early childhood development, and I hold a Maternal Mental Health Professional Certificate. I also serve as a trainer for the Mothers and Babies Program, a trusted program that helps prevent postpartum depression and supports healthy parent-infant bonding.

My work is guided by several evidence-based programs, including:

  • The Incredible Years, which helps improve children’s behavior and emotional regulation from birth to age 12.
  • Triple P – Positive Parenting Program, a practical approach that gives parents simple, effective strategies to build strong relationships and manage everyday parenting challenges.
  • TouchPoints, a model that supports families in understanding their child’s development and building healthy connections.

In addition, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, Solution-Focused CBT, and Infant Mental Health. I also use developmental tools like the Map of Child Development and the Early Childhood Social Emotional Wellness Program to help parents and caregivers better understand and respond to their children’s needs.

I specialize in helping families through key life transitions—from pregnancy and infancy to childhood and adolescence. Whether you’re facing behavioral concerns, parenting stress, trauma, or perinatal mood disorders, I work with you to create a supportive path forward.
