People that "echo"-Terry Cañez

Throughout Ms.Cañez career in mental health services, Dr. Delgado has been the most influential person. “Dr. Delgado was my supervisor for about 14 years. I learned a lot from her. She modeled a high standard of professionalism and ethical behavior. I appreciated her guidance and support,” said Clinical Director Terry Cañez. “I enjoy working with people who are dedicated to their profession. I think it is important to work as a team. My leadership style is a democratic style. The democratic style leadership is inclusive. It enhances the participation of employees in the decision making of an organization. I don’t always have the answers and I like to get feedback from the staff; they have very good clinical insight and they work well as a team. Just because I have a license or because I’m the director, it doesn’t mean I’m better than anyone. Everyone is valued as an individual and their voice is important. I expect the staff to hold this standard when providing services. I have dedicated staff who work well together to ensure the needs of our clients are being met. I am extremely grateful to Connie Gallegos our office manager and Melinda Castillo our adult team manager for their continued support. We work well as a team and share the same goals,” said Ms.Cañez.
