LD Counseling

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years experience providing mental health services in NJ. I utilize approaches from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Compassion based therapies, and Trauma-informed treatment. I gained my clinical experience working in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care providing individual and group therapy. I have experience working with individuals with: - Anxiety - Depression - Mood Disorders - Trauma/ PTSD - - Addictive Behaviors - Self-harming behaviors - - Suicidal Ideation - Relational issues - Grief & Loss - - Life transitions - I believe therapy is unique because every individual and their goals are unique. Our work together can be guided towards a particular goal, or in creating a safe place to process and gain insight. I believe in creating an atmosphere that is safe, judgment-free, and focused on your needs. I see value in the presence of connection, validation, and humor within a therapeutic relationship.
