Patricia Green

My name is Patricia M. Green and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 40 years of experience with young children, adolescents, adults and families. My Master's Degree in Social Work is from Rutgers University. I specialize in helping individuals, children and families impacted by trauma, depression, abuse/neglect, domestic violence, behavioral challenges, grief/loss, and various disabilities including ADHD, Autism, and Multiple Disabilities. I am Trauma-Focused Trained.

I use various approaches to my therapeutic work including: Systems Perspective utilizing the entire family, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength-based Focus and Play Therapy with young children. I believe all individuals have the capacity to make positive changes if provided with the appropriate tools and in engaging people to feel empowered to change.

I work with my clients by meeting them where they are at and work on concerns they bring to therapy. Being behaviorally based in my treatment, I often encourage clients to practice strategies addressed in therapy. Mindfulness and strength-based practice is encouraged with all clients. In building trust and creating a secure, positive working relationship with individuals truly contributes to the overall success of their treatment.
