Talita is passionate about empowering people, and it was when she enrolled in New Women New Yorkers’ LEAD program that she discovered her passion for supporting immigrants’ needs. As an immigrant herself, Talita deeply understands the difficulties that immigrants face when arriving in a new country, and how vital it is to have support.
Talita is a proud Brazilian immigrant, the first one in her family to go to college; she received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, Brazil. Talita has more than 7 years of experience working as a therapist with individuals of all ages – from children to seniors.
Talita loves to spend time with her dogs, go for walks on the beach, and get together with friends.
