Angelique Zaks

Hi there! My name is Angelique. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor, working with clients virtually in the State of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. More importantly, I am a fiercely dedicated advocate for your healing. My formal training and background in substance use treatment spaces have led to an expertise of with individuals in recovery from alcohol or substance use, and addictive behaviors (gambling, shopping, relationships, etc). I also specialize in working with women who are looking to achieve goals of self improvement, navigate difficult life transitions, relationship or family strain, and questions of identity along the way. Wherever you're starting from, I will support you, celebrate your wins, and work hard to get you to where you need to go.

As your therapist, I ask real questions, and I genuinely care about where you’re headed. Our work together will feel like conversations with someone who sees you, takes you seriously, and does right by you. I am also a big believer in reviewing treatment plan goals on a regular basis, and providing you with individualized homework and educational resources, as a way to provide supplemental care. We will practice the hard things in sessions and in between them, so you can be successful out there!

First sessions are so very important. I recognize its not easy to start new, or start over, with a provider. I want to alleviate any stress or discomfort that comes with initiating this process. To begin our work together, I will inquire what brings you to therapy, and what goals you would like to work towards. If you've been in therapy previously, we will discuss the things that have worked for you in this setting, while taking note of the approaches that may not have been as productive. Then, we will set treatment plan goals, create a personalized meeting schedule, and discuss your progress within each session. We will go at your pace!
