I am Danielle Desperak-Schisler, pronouns: she/her. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both New York and New Jersey. I have worked as a psychotherapist since 2017.
I have specialized training and extensive experience working with women, LGBTQIA+ community, trauma, anxiety, depression, multiracial ethnicity identity exploration, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem.
My working style is warm, empathetic, and introspective. I have an eclectic approach that allows me to tailor your treatment to your specific needs. I integrate influences from humanistic psychology, psychodynamic, narrative therapy while also incorporating EMDR to help sustain long-lasting change. Being culturally responsive and working within an anti-oppressive framework is a foundational element of my work.
During our first session we complete a thorough intake together where I gain an understanding about what you are currently struggling with, what life has been like up to this point for you, and defining your treatment goals.
