Carlos encalada, LICSW
My name is Carlos Encalada. I am a fully licensed clinical social worker in the states of NY, NJ, PA, and WA. I am currently finishing up my first year as a candidate in the Adult and CAP analytic training programs at IPTAR. I worked as a bilingual (in Spanish) community mental health outpatient therapist for four years as well as several years doing contract work as a Spanish speaking psychotherapist for caregivers and men struggling from injuries on the job in the midst of L&I worker’s compensation cases. I have worked in private practice for nine years in Seattle and now New York. I no longer am in network with any insurance companies.
I have worked with mostly adult patients holding a psychoanalytic psychotherapy frame seeing several for years at varying frequencies in person and via telehealth. Before starting at IPTAR, I've taken a 2-year integrated Adult and Child Psychoanalytic training with Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, as well as one year of the Northwest Psychoanalytic Society and Institute's Fundamentals curriculum. I am excited to expand my practice here in NY by also working with children, couples, and families.
Before committing to psychoanalytic training, I received my MSW from Smith College in 2012. I studied Computer Science at MIT. I've been fortunate to have varying meaningful life experiences since then in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic, working as a professional editor at the University of Chicago, as well as work as a mobile crisis therapist. I've also recently had training learning to code the Adult Attachment Interview.
