3 Voices
Amy Meyers, PhD, LCSW
(she/her/hers)
I received my Master’s and Doctorate degrees in social work from Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and CUNY Graduate Center at Hunter College. With 30 years of practice experience, I maintain a private practice in NYC where I partner with clients to “live their best life”. I have taught in higher education for 19 years and love the mutuality of learning in the classroom. As an expert on sibling abuse, I have published and presented nationally on the topic. I strive to share my experiences, skills, and challenges on this blog and my podcast “What Would Dr. Meyers Do?” which focuses on clinical issues and countertransference.
Alma Calderón, BSW, MSW Candidate
(she/her/hers)
Hi! My name is Alma, and I’m an incoming MSW student. I currently work at a nonprofit as a child counselor and group facilitator, where I run groups, support kids, and learn from amazing social workers, including my boss and supervisor. I’m a proud Latina and deeply passionate about serving my community, something I trace back to my dad, who was the president of a nonprofit and travels all over to help others.
I usually dislike icebreakers, but I’ll leave you with a fun fact about myself. I didn’t even know what a social worker really was until my boss explained it to me! I used to think social workers were all working for Child Protective Services. As you can see, discovering the depth and diversity of this field completely shifted my path, and I’ve been devoted ever since.
Maria Sosa, BSW, MSW Candidate
(she/her/hers)
I’m a Bachelor of Social Work graduate and current MSW candidate whose path into this field began with curiosity rather than certainty. My academic background in psychology and sociology shaped how I understand individuals within the systems that influence their lives, and social work is where that perspective became relational and applied. I’m particularly interested in how our internal narratives shape the way we show up in relationships and in practice, and in learning how to hold professional responsibility while still developing my own voice within the field.
As an undergraduate, I co-authored a research article, which strengthened my commitment to grounding practice in both reflection and evidence. Outside of school, I spend much of my time hiking, with the long-term goal of visiting every U.S. national park. I approach this work with intention and a steady respect for the responsibility it carries.
