Introduction to Lisa Quaglia-Hamed.
Characteristics that qualify you for the role & educational background
I bring over 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker and leader, with strengths
in trauma-informed care, client engagement, accountability, and systems thinking. I am
highly skilled at building trust, motivating change, and supporting individuals through
complex life transitions. My work reflects strong clinical judgment, empathy, consistency,
and an ability to balance support with clear goal-setting and follow-through.
Educationally, I hold a Master of Social Work from Simmons College in Boston, a
Diploma of Social Service Work from Mohawk College (Ontario, Canada), and a
Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from McMaster University (Ontario, Canada). My
education provided a strong foundation in clinical practice, human behavior,
Social work settings, populations, and relevant training
I have worked in a wide range of settings, most extensively within child welfare and
behavioral health systems, including:
Child protection and family services
Community-based behavioral health
Residential treatment programs for youth
Outreach and case management services
Public assistance and social services
Across these settings, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, parents,
caregivers, and families, including individuals impacted by trauma, domestic violence,
substance use, mental health challenges, chronic stress, and complex family dynamics.
My training and experience include:
Trauma-informed and strengths-based practice
Crisis intervention and safety planning
Motivational interviewing
Parenting support and family systems work
Clinical supervision and coaching
Group facilitation (including fatherhood and caregiver support groups)
This background has prepared me to work effectively with varied age groups,
diagnoses, and life circumstances, while tailoring interventions to individual needs.
Counseling theories, approaches, and tools used
My clinical approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from several evidence-
based models depending on client needs. These commonly include:
Motivational Interviewing
Trauma-informed care
Strengths-based and solution-focused approaches
Family systems theory
While I do not specialize in expressive therapies such as art or drama therapy, I
frequently use practical tools, including:
Worksheets and guided exercises
Goal-tracking and accountability tools
Psychoeducation materials
Reflective journaling prompts
Skill-building exercises for coping, communication, and stress management
These tools help clients translate insight into action and measurable progress
