Sonny Rios

I was responsible for developing and providing high quality therapeutic interventions and services in support of an individual’s wellness and recovery. These services include:

• Developing care plans with clients to ensure timely access to services and resources.
• Facilitating communication between clients and healthcare providers or community organizations.
• Assessing client needs and developing individualized safety plans to ensure well-being.
• Maintaining accurate documentation of client interactions and service planning.
• Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to coordinate efforts.
• Providing training for new staff on best practices in client care coordination.

I was responsible for maintaining program adherence to CARF regulations, overseeing day to day counselor activities, and ensuring program supplies are tracked/maintained.

I was responsible for providing peer support in a crisis residential setting. This included the provision of psychoeducation on DBT skills, safety planning, coping skills, boundary setting, and medication adherence. I provided this through individual counseling sessions and group therapy. Vital to the success of this was my development of rapport with a diverse range of individuals from various backgrounds. I also conducted patient intakes, ensured proper discharge planning to appropriate placements, and maintained a working knowledge of community resources relevant to my population.
