Hello, my name is Arlene Bish-Justinger and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in mental health and medical social work for over 20 years. My focus is on individual therapy in areas such as thought disorders, suicidal ideation, sleep/insomnia, mood disorders, and anxiety. I use many approaches to assisting my clients, including CBT, tapping, and motivational interviewing, and I always have a strength-based and trauma-informed mindset.
My communication during therapy will be truthful and real. My tone and demeanor will fit what you need. Some people need soft and gentle, some people need to get straight to the point, and I can provide whatever it is that helps you most. My listening style is open and engaged.
My clients have told me that I am easy to talk to, that they don't feel judged, and that I am good at listening and summarizing what they are telling me. It is all about meeting you where you are and empowering you to do something that you want to do, not the things others tell us you should be doing. I look forward to working with you!
