Hello, my name is Nechama Willner. I have devoted my professional career to providing therapy for young adults and adults. I am an LCSW in NY and NJ specializing in trauma, depression and anxiety. I utilize a psychodynamic approach in conjunction with my certification in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as well as my additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family System. I am passionate about empowering successful women to navigate and overcome challenges.
A key component in the therapeutic relationship is feeling comfortable and safe within the session. With my honest and open communication style coupled with my sincerity and compassion, I strive to make each client feel empowered to open up and share themselves.
My therapeutic style/approach to therapy is eclectic. I value blending components from different approaches to tailor the session according to each client's needs. I enjoy working in a close relationship with clients to help them learn about themselves. I also provide skill-based treatment to focus on changing problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviors using CBT.
I strongly believe in the power of the mind and its impact on a person. In changing unhelpful or negative thoughts, people can change how they feel which can influence how they behave.
