Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Linwood, NJ covered by Aetna

I earned my Masters Degree in Social Work at Fordham University and have since gained valuable experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings.

I provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care, and draw from several modalities, depending on client needs. I have training in CBT, DBT, EFIT, psychodynamics, and am certified in trauma-focused CBT. I have experience treating a variety of diagnoses, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and attachment issues.

I've been doing this work for a long time, and one of the things that sets me apart is that I've also worked on the other side of the healthcare system - managing behavioral health benefits for a major insurer. I know how confusing and frustrating it can be to navigate insurance, and I want that to be one less thing you have to worry about when you're trying to take care of yourself. I trained at Adelphi University and I've worked with individuals across a wide range of settings — private practice, state-level consulting, and agency work. My clients tend to be adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. I work with people from all backgrounds, cultures, and identities. I practice fully online, which means you can see me from wherever you are in New York or New Jersey - no commute, no waiting room.

I'm a great listener who always seeks to empower and uplift my clients. I like to create a safe, judgement free space where someone will feel encouraged to express themselves while working on solutions collectively.

As an LSCW, I have worked in addiction and mental health for the last 6 years. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have always wanted to start my own private practice since I started my social work career.

I work with adults to navigate addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, codependency, transitional phases, and burnout. I will always meet you where you're at but also challenge you when needed!

Hello my name is Paula Poblocki and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received my MS from Rutgers University in Clinical Mental Health. I have been described by clients as being "authentic/genuine, down-to-earth, no-nonsence, and spirited " in sessions. I am passionate about helping clients identify and overcome the obstacles in their lives, so they can enhance their overall quality of life. I aim to provide solution-focused, affirming, and holistic therapy. Although I pride myself in being a well-rounded therapist, I do have a background in working with Women's Issues, College Students/ College Transitions, Substance Use Disorder Maintenance, and Mindfulness/Meditation. I am also an LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist too!

I chose to become a therapist because I am amazed at the healing process through human connection. As complex beings, I am left in awe at the strength and resilience each individual possesses. I believe that despite difficulties faced, we have the power to rewrite our own story and live to fullest most authentic selves.

Our work together will not only aid you in overcoming any difficulties you may be facing but help understand patterns to develop tools that can be used in everyday life.

I aim to provide a healing space through compassion, support and acceptance. My approach is grounded in psychodynamic theory, however, I often utilize tools from different modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy and inner child healing.

I hope to have the opportunity to hear from you and help you achieve your greater self.
