Carey Gargano

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW-S), I work with adolescents and adults. My clinical focus is treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, adjustment disorders and personality disorders. My therapeutic approach is integrative and strength-based, incorporating Person-Centered, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral and Psychotherapy. I have over 13 years of experience in crisis counseling and private practice, and I am committed to helping clients develop effective coping skills and move toward more meaningful, balanced lives.

I believe therapy works best when it honors each person’s unique story, strengths, and goals. Our work together is a collaborative process built on trust, open communication, and mutual respect. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel safe being yourself, heard without judgment, and gently encouraged to grow. I’m here to listen, offer guidance, and support you as you move toward meaningful and lasting change.

Our work together begins with an introductory session where you’ll have space to share your story, and what you hope to gain from the therapeutic process. We’ll take our time and figure things out together. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel comfortable, safe, and respected as you open up at your own pace. As we continue working together, we’ll collaborate to clarify your goals and take meaningful steps toward making them a reality.
