‘Bibliotherapy in the Bronx’ is a creative nonfiction account that weaves together my experiences as a psychotherapist and school social worker with over 14 years of practice in the Bronx, NY. It explores the transformative power of literature in healing and personal growth, drawing from my unique perspective as an African-American, Puerto Rican woman who has used books, poetry, and expressive writing to support clients across various settings. This book is for everyone who loves reading and believes in the power of stories to connect us, heal us, and help us understand ourselves and the world around us. Whether you’re a reader, educator, librarian, therapist, or someone who cherishes the written word, you’ll find something meaningful in these pages. The book includes personal stories, clinical insights, and practical guidance on using literature as a tool for mental health and well-being. As we navigate a time where diverse voices and stories are more important than ever, ‘Bibliotherapy in the Bronx’ emphasizes the importance of reading widely and amplifying marginalized voices.
