ABOUT AMY ARRUDA, LCSW
Amy obtained her Bachelor of Social Work from Southern Connecticut State University in 2007, her Master of Social Work from Fordham University in 2013, and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2018.
Throughout her career, Amy has worked in residential settings with adolescent males, in school settings with children and teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and in outpatient therapy focusing on lifestyle-based healing.
