Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Anita Szalontai. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working with various population in various settings. I earned my BSW in Hungary and MSW in the US.

I'm utilizing my academic knowledge and professional/personal experiences in specific cases, such as panic disorder, domestic/intimate partner violence, substance use disorder and immigration issues. I also possess information about additional resources that can be helpful in some instances.

My approach to therapy

I utilize the mixture of therapy styles tailored to your needs - such as Psychodynamic, Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Narrative to name a few. The style of the sessions are determined in collaboration with the client.
