Alcohol Use Therapists in Hackensack, NJ

I am a dually licensed Clinical Social Worker and Substance Abuse Counselor with over twenty five years experience working with adults and adolescents in NY and NJ, specializing in Substance-Related Disorders. I possess an LCADC (New Jersey) and CASAC (New York) certification. I am also an approved Provider of Clinical Services for the Impaired Driving Offenders and NYS Drinking Driver Programs (DDP) providing screening, assessment, and treatment.

Many people I come across throughout my work feel immense relief from the safe and open environment that is provided during our sessions. Many of us unfortunately come from backgrounds in which therapy is looked at in a negative light. I have found that sometimes many of us can get overwhelmed with life, and just need a safe space to get our thoughts together. That safe space is what I strive to provide to my clients. I take a psychoanalytic approach to therapy and help clients connect the past to the present, and find a way to push forward.

For over the past 16 years I have worked with adults and adolescents struggling with diverse mental health issues. This can include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD,eating disorders, substance abuse, and borderline personality disorder. These issues can be influenced by stress from external triggers, including trauma, family issues, medical issues, work stress, relationship issues, and grief and loss. Throughout my extensive experience in hospital and private practice settings, I find individuals often feel intensely overwhelmed and stuck in negative thinking patterns and behaviors. By developing a therapeutic relationship, we can create a treatment plan to increase positive feelings and facilitate effective behavioral changes.

With a lifelong passion for aiding others, nothing delights me more than guiding my clients on their path of self-improvement as they cultivate the ability to reach their individual goals. It is important to remember that there is always an opportunity to find solace and support when you are yearning for someone to confide in but cannot find anyone who truly understands your situation. Through our work together, you will be met with a nurturing empathy, a warm understanding, and sincere validation. Your concerns and worries about life’s difficulties will be addressed in a safe and healthy space.
