My name is Maureen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State for fifteen years. I graduated from Columbia University's School of Social Work in 2005 with a concentration in clinical services. My work experience includes working in New York City to Syracuse, NY to rural Central New York in a variety of environments. Currently, I am the Supervisor for Family Behavioral Health Services for a rural mental health clinic in Central New York.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) shapes my approach to treatment.I believe everyone is doing the best they can and they are motivated to be better. It is my role as a therapist to facilitate the change process through the development of new skills. As a therapist, I will assist you in navigating the process of acceptance and change. Life is a constant balance between accepting life as it AND learning skills to make effective change.
Start or re-starting therapy is an amazing act of kindness towards your self. During your first session, you can expect an emphasis placed on the therapeutic relationship and developing a focus for treatment.
