Social workers often do some of the most meaningful work behind the scenes.
This month we recognize the people who show up every day to support others through some of life’s most challenging moments.
We’re proud to highlight Desiree Messina, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, whose work reflects the heart of this profession.
Desiree supports individuals navigating pressure, performance expectations, body image struggles, and the emotional weight that can come with constantly striving to be better.
Her work often helps athletes and high performers slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and build habits that support both mental wellbeing and physical performance.
Her approach blends evidence-based therapy with sports-informed insight helping clients move from self-criticism toward self-trust.
Social workers like Desiree hold space for difficult conversations, quiet breakthroughs, and the small moments of progress that lead to lasting change.
This Social Work Month, we honor Desiree and the many social workers whose dedication helps individuals and communities move toward healing.
