Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Lynbrook, NY covered by Aetna

Hi, I’m Jennifer, a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience. I’ve spent most of my career in community mental health, where I’ve gained broad, diverse clinical experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication. Because communication is such a vital part of effective therapy, my background in communication strongly enhances my clinical practice and the work I do with clients.

I believe therapy is most effective when it comes from both professional training and real-life experience I have over 47 years experience. In addition to studying psychology, philosophy, theology, and the arts, I believe therapists should live fully and use what they’ve learned to help others grow into their fullest selves. I have a Master of Social Work from Fordham, an Advanced Clinical Certificate from NYU, and more than four decades of experience helping people.

My mission is to help people like yourself to silence the noise in this world and recalibrate in order to move forward in living to your full potential

I look forward to the opportunity to see if I am the right fit to help you on your journey

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with formal training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and a background in crisis stabilization — which means I've worked with adults navigating some of the most intense emotional experiences imaginable, and I know that the hardest moments don't define where someone ends up. My style is direct and warm. I'm not the kind of therapist who nods a lot and says "how does that make you feel?" — I'll actually teach you skills, explain what's happening in your brain and body,

and work with you to figure out what gets in the way of the life you want. I also happen to believe that therapy doesn't have to be heavy all the time. Humor and humanity belong in the room too. I work with adults across New York via telehealth, and I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon, and Highmark plans.

I get it. You’re tired of feeling stuck, exhausted, and like nothing’s really changing. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s starting to feel heavy. As a psychotherapist in practice for over 10 years, I’m passionate about walking alongside adults on their healing journey, especially those navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you're a professional burning out, a veteran facing emotional pain, or a student trying to find your footing, I offer support rooted in compassion and real tools like EMDR and CBT. More importantly, I create a space where you can show up just as you are and feel truly seen, safe, and supported.

Hi there, and welcome!

Congrats on taking the first step. As a licensed psychotherapist, my passion is listening and tuning into my clients' strengths, challenges, and what's holding them back from experiencing their best selves - and going from there. I work with adults of all ages, and specialize in trauma, anxiety, and depression. I hold a Masters from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Services, completed a two-year training program at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, and am EMDR trained.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience providing compassionate and effective mental health care and psychotherapy in diverse clinical settings. I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals through various life challenges and transitions. This extensive experience ensures you receive knowledgeable and skilled guidance tailored to your specific needs.
