Jennifer Costello-Siri
Hi, my name is Jennifer and many people call me Jen. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY and PA, and have truly enjoyed my work for many years now. I graduated from CUNY Lehman College in 2007 with an MSW.
I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, including a number of years in nursing homes and primary care.
I have worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds and age groups, helping them manage stress, depression, anxiety, relationships and medical difficulties. I began working with younger folks and their families, and most recently have been working a great deal with adults with a variety of behavioral health and medical needs. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, including a number of years in nursing homes and primary care. Having this variety of experience over the years has allowed me to work well with many different clients.
First session
In our first session I will spend time gathering some history, getting know you and your values, and developing a treatment plan based on your goals. We will begin to dive into the specific challenges you are facing. We will finish our session by discussing timing and scheduling of sessions, and informed consent.
Strengths
I have over 17 years experience providing counseling and therapy in a compassionate client driven way.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients from many backgrounds and age groups, specifically helping them manage life stressors.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT techniques to help clients identify negative or anxious thoughts and learn how to reframe them, which helps reduce distress.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing and grounding help us calm our bodies and mind.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative counseling technique designed to enhance motivation for change by exploring & resolving ambivalence.
