Hi! Thanks for reviewing my profile! I am a LCSW-R in the State of NY. My skills and knowledge have been learned through providing in home based services, the traditional office setting, long term care facilities and crisis interventions via the phone, home and community. In my full time career I work in a male maximum security prison. My career in the field of social work began in 2001. I have provided services to children, teens, adults and geriatrics. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger concerns, parenting support, adjustment issues and relational problems. My approach varies per client and their needs. I am well versed in providing cognitive behavioral therapy, solution – focused, goal orientated, trauma focused CBT, crisis interventions and mindfulness based skills. I am not a text book type therapist. Our treatment plans will be individualized per your needs/wants. For you to be here, looking for support, shows courage and motivation! I am looking forward to working with you! I would like to make note, due to my full time career, I offer evening hours only. Kelly, LCSW-R
