About Timothy Crosby

Highly qualified, skilled, and dedicated school social worker with certification in CT, clinical supervisor, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (also in CT). 10+ years of valuable experience working in unique clinical roles and educational settings. Experience with intake and assessment, parent/guardian communication, case management, IEP development and PPT presentation, progress monitoring and data analysis, group facilitation, teaching and modeling social-emotional and coping skills, utilizing social-emotional curricula and clinical interventions,(including the Zones of Regulation, Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools & Bounce Back, mindfulness, and elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy), crisis intervention and de-escalation, risk assessment, staff training, observation, and feedback, and PBIS and MTSS system development and implementation. Additional experience supervising a team of clinicians and clinical interns, facilitating staff interviews and student intakes, developing systems, planning and conducting trainings, co-facilitating the MTSS system, co-leading an SEL initiative, and facilitating leadership team meetings. Supervisors and colleagues would describe me as dedicated, hardworking, reliable, and organized, as well as curious, analytical, and insightful. I appreciate opportunities for collaboration and am personable, supportive, and diplomatic. I am kind, gentle, compassionate and empathetic, patient, and calm, even in crisis. My roles in clinical settings require me to be adaptable, resourceful, disciplined, and resilient. The ever-changing, unpredictable, and challenging environment necessitates a clear sense of identity and purpose. As a school social worker, I believe every child deserves the opportunity to access a high-quality education and it is my mission to provide the clinical, behavioral, and social-emotional supports each child needs to be successful in the least-restrictive school environment. I seek to empower students and colleagues to learn and grow alike, as I believe we most effectively change students’ behavior by first changing our own. Above all, I am relationship-oriented, service-focused, and growth-minded. I strive daily to create an environment of trust, safety, and belonging for students and colleagues alike as a foundation for us to learn, grow, and thrive together.
