Therapists in Rockaway, NJ

I am an MSW,LCSW that has spent most of my career in the healthcare field. In that setting I have learned a lot of crisis intervention skills and adjustment problem coping skills as people generally go through a period of crisis while trying to adjust to a new illness and all that can go along with that. I have also been in private practice since 2007 and the bulk of my patients suffer with anxiety disorders (panic attacks, social anxiety, phobias, etc.); Depression/Bipolar disorder; Eating disorders; Relationship struggles; Anger, OCD and couples counseling. I have a Masters in Social Work and a clinical license in Social Work which allows me to be in private practice. I also have gone through a lot of training on Mindfulness (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course) where I have learned how to practice mindfulness and meditation to name a few. It is a very powerful coping tool but not everyone is open to it. Therefore I am use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) along with a Strengths Perspective. Using the CBT allows us to understand how our thoughts affect how we feel and then how we behave, which can also be enlightening. The Strengths Perspective gets us in touch with a person's strengths, because regardless of what we are dealing with we all have strengths and using them to build upon in the spirit of solving the problem @ hand. Sometimes we arent even aware of the skills we already have or how to use them to help ourselves in our current state. My approach can also be a combination of what is listed above but the most important way to help someone is to listen and then be able to understand/diagnose the problem clearly because we cant solve a problem without knowing what it truly is. I believe we all have the ability to embrace change when we are ready and truly enjoy helping people along that journey!

I am licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of professional work experience. I am warm and engaging and I am usually able to connect with most. I would say my expertise would be helping those who are facing a life change or transition. Someone going through a break-up, graduating college, changing jobs. Also, with an extensive background working on the medical side, I am very comfortable helping those facing a medical diagnosis, or helping their loved one cope with one. I primarily treat using the CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) model, and mostly provide short term therapy with the idea that you learn new strategies and tools to manage life stressors, and you no longer need therapy. I firmly believe no two experiences are the same, so although I have talked to many people, I want to hear your story and how things impacted you. We will focus on the goals you have set for treatment. It takes courage to seek help and take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My goal is for you to feel as comfortable as possible in speaking with me and to work as a team to meet your desired goals.
