Jillian Childs

Hello, my name is Jill and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trained psychotherapist in New York, with nearly a decade of experience. I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds, helping them explore and overcome the anxiety, fear, and challenges that disrupt their peace of mind and personal fulfillment. Grief and stress related to chronic illness are both topics I'm passionate about in addition to helping people with anxiety and depression.

Working with me means embarking on an exploratory journey where we will ask questions, seek answers, and find the unique path that works best for you. While CBT provides a structured framework, our sessions will remain flexible and responsive to your individual needs, allowing us to investigate and uncover the insights necessary for your personal growth.

My approach is strength-based, focusing on amplifying your inherent strengths as we work through challenges. Our sessions will provide a safe space for you to express your concerns, but the primary goal will be to achieve lasting, authentic change. Together, we will examine your core beliefs and personal philosophy, ensuring they empower you on your journey forward.

In our work together, you'll find that therapy is not about following a predetermined path but about discovering your unique journey. By working together to explore your core beliefs, we will uncover the answers that lead to a more fulfilling, empowered life.

Together, we'll craft a treatment plan that outlines the goals and actions we'll explore together in our time together. We'll identify specific homework activities or challenges that you can work on outside of our sessions, ensuring they are manageable yet impactful. These activities will be tailored to help reinforce the progress you make during therapy.
