About Clear Light Therapy

ABOUT DANA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my graduate degree from Fordham University. I love working in private outpatient therapy practice! I love seeing my clients grow and reach their goals. 

APPROACH TO THERAPY

My approach is based on creating a strong relationship with my clients, a place where they feel safe to explore their lives and emotions. I always work collaboratively with my clients to find what techniques and therapeutic environment they need to grow and heal.  I believe that having an empathic, open and caring therapist is where successful therapy begins. I  place a strong emphasis on making my clients feel comfortable, welcome and safe. I do not believe that one approach in therapy will work for everyone. I have found, over time, that my clients have many different unique needs and, thus, I have trainings in various clinical approaches to treatment. I use my experience and my clinical skills to get to know my clients and gauge what I feel would be most helpful for them to reach their goals (i.e CBT, DBT, reflective listening, empathitic emotional support, grief therapy, analyzing upbringings/home life, family therapy sessions etc.). I truly focus on my clients need and personalize their therapy sessions to meet them.
