Biography: Are you feeling empty, alone, detached, anxious or misunderstood? As an integrative psychotherapist, licensed in NY and NJ, therapeutic inquiry begins with the assumption that I know nothing about your life experiences or how you make sense of them. Through inquiry, attunement and involvement we will discover together where you have experienced early interruptions in significant interpersonal relationships and how it has impacted your sense of self and adult life. These interruptions and misses are often experienced as depression, anxiety, compulsions, fears or agitation and often interfere with a sense of self and the development of healthy adult relationships. I offer empathic understanding in the context of honesty and respect with a supportive therapeutic inquiry that provides the safety to drop defenses, to feel, to remember, to experience and to integrate all that you truly are and can become. This is the ongoing process of integrative psychotherapy. As a Clinical Social Worker I believe that ongoing supervision and training are a vital part of our professional development and continue to learn and grow through attendance at workshops, seminars and trainings. I look forward to hearing from you.

Biography: I am a licensed clinical social worker with over twenty years of experience in the social services field across a range of mental health settings. My approach is Integrative and one of my primary objectives is to create a warm and supportive environment where your strengths will be used to foster motivation toward achieving your goals. I believe therapeutic intervention begins when one finds themselves at a crossroads, wanting to make a change; it then moves forward from there. My experience includes working with adults, adolescents, and children on communication issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, academic underachievement, transitions, personal growth, behavioral issues, gender, and self-identity issues (to name a few). Additionally, I also work with clients who identify as spiritual or religious. I use an integrative approach, teaching clients various tools and techniques to manage anxiety, reduce depression, and maintain more satisfying relationships. I am a child of Caribbean immigrants and I grew up in a single-parent household. I experienced firsthand the issues affecting low-income, minority, and underserved populations. I also experienced a lack of education regarding mental health services in both my family and community at large and saw how this lead to misinformation and stigma regarding accessing such services. This developed into a personal commitment to promoting culturally informed and responsible mental health care services. Becoming a clinical social worker provided me with the opportunity to work toward this goal. Helping others access mental health services, as well as grow and develop, is something I am truly passionate about and view as my calling in life. Making the initial move to speak with a professional about any challenges one is facing is both a courageous and monumental step! Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest things to do. Moreover, navigating one's schedule, finances, insurance benefits, and the various types of mental health professionals available can be an intimidating process. It is a great privilege when a client provides me with the opportunity to be a part of their therapeutic growth and development process. My main focus is to foster a respectful therapeutic relationship that will engage you in a safe, interactive, relational, and experiential process at your own personal pace.

Biography: Hello, my name is Anthony Skerritt. I am a graduate of Mercy College with a master's in Mental Health Counseling. I am a licensed therapist. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a combination of evidence-based modalities that I find particularly effective in helping clients achieve their therapeutic goals. I have a strong preference for the following therapeutic techniques: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused Therapy, and First-person approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): I value the practical and solution-oriented nature of CBT. It provides clients with effective tools to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be especially helpful for individuals dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and various life struggles. Motivational Interviewing (MI): I appreciate the collaborative and client-centered nature of MI. It allows for a non-confrontational approach to help clients explore their ambivalence and find motivation for positive change. MI can be a valuable technique when working with individuals who may be struggling with motivation or are in the early stages of addressing their concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy: I am drawn to the solution-focused approach, as it emphasizes a client's strengths and resources, encouraging them to find solutions that work for their unique circumstances. This technique is particularly valuable when working with individuals facing life struggles or seeking to enhance their self-esteem. First-Person Approach: I believe in the power of creating a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can share their personal experiences and emotions openly. Using a first-person approach, I prioritize empathy and active listening, which I find crucial in building a strong therapeutic relationship. In terms of the population I am most passionate about working with, I have a strong affinity for young adults and adults who are grappling with a range of mental health challenges. These may include individuals with bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, as well as those facing various life struggles. I also have a particular interest in assisting individuals dealing with personality disorders. I am dedicated to tailoring my therapeutic approach to each client's unique needs and circumstances, and I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for their personal growth and healing
