My name is Chantelle Hodge and I am originally from Curacao, an island off of Venezuela. I am graduate from Marymount University with degrees in the following disciplines -- Legal & Forensic Psychology and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have a strong passion towards the mental health field and have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in helping them acquire the services and clinical interventions they need in order to help them manage their mental health. I have worked for 3 mental health agencies in which I served in creating person centered activities and interventions to help clientele accomplish goals to help them manage their diagnosis and collaborated with mental health professionals to ensure that their needs were being met. I have also completed a variety of internships In which I have directly worked with different communities in advocating for resources and helping them manage their mental health.
