Luiza Mouzinho

Luiza Mouzinho, a 2014 Vision Fellow, earned dual Master of Arts Degrees in Mental Health Counseling and Theology and Ministry from Boston College. She interned for the Island Counseling Center during some summer breaks, providing interpreting and clinical services primarily for the Brazilian population. During her time in Boston, Luiza developed clinical experience with various and diverse populations, including adults struggling with addictions, severe mental illness, and trauma. She also worked intensively with children and families experiencing behavioral, emotional, and mental health needs. Luiza works with the Island Counseling Center and is the only Portuguese speaking clinician currently on staff. She hopes that in addition to providing clinical services, she can also collaborate on cultural competency trainings and outreach to the Brazilian community.
