Hi! I have been a licensed clinical social worker for the past 40 years, and I am licensed to practice in NJ. I am in the process of reinstating my NY license. I grew up on Long Island, NY and attended Adelphi University for my Master Degree. Later, moved to NJ. Today, I live in VA and have been doing online therapy for the past 2+ years.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, after introductions, I usually ask them what it is they would like to work on in the sessions. Then offering a plan on how we will proceed, if they are in agreement.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I generally can make good connections with my clients. Sometimes in session, my sense of humor will show itself, and I will hear a depressed person laugh.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Over the years, I have worked with ages 4 - 95, many races and ethnicities. At this point in my career, all are welcome.
