Anita Mariano-Ng
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey. I received my Masters in Social Work from New York University and I have been practicing for over 13 years in the NY and NJ region.
My clients have expressed that one of my greatest strengths is creating a safe, accepting space, where they can freely share thoughts, feelings, fears, pains and goals without fear of judgement.
I strive to create a safe, affirming space for my clients to explore challenges, identify their strengths and find their way to happier, healthier versions of themselves.
First session
In our first session together we will start with brief introductions and then dive into what you are looking for in therapy. We will complete a psychosocial intake which will help provide me with some background, history of symptoms you have experienced and strengths as well as challenges you want to highlight. This will ultimately help us create an initial individualized treatment plan outlining the goals you want to work towards.
Strengths
My clients have expressed that one of my greatest strengths is creating a safe, supportive space, where they can freely share thoughts, feelings, fears, pains and goals without fear of judgement. In this environment we explore ways to mobilize your strengths towards areas where you want to grow, clarify challenges and obstacles, better understand you and your tendencies, and find creative, effective strategies to assist towards achieving your goals.
Ideal clients
I love working with adults of all ages who are looking to grow, willing to explore themselves, and open to tools to assist towards realizing their goals. My clients have often felt stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious around challenges or negative patterns they have observed and want to find different ways to move forward.
