He holds Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Rhode Island College. Cesar is also bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing him to provide more accessible and culturally competent care to diverse populations.

Cesar has nearly a decade of experience working in the behavioral health field, including outpatient, residential, and community-based roles serving individuals with severe and persistent mental illness, co-occurring disorders, emotional dysregulation, housing instability, and developmental and physical disabilities. He most recently worked as an ACT II Case Manager in an outpatient level of care, where he provided clinical case management, conducted person-centered assessments, and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to support long-term recovery and stabilization. In addition to his clinical experience, Cesar proudly served on active duty in the United States Army as an Aviation Operations Specialist.

As a clinician, Cesar strives to create a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to build insight, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.
