I'm Jennifer Culley, LCSW-R, a licensed clinical social worker in New York with decades of experience providing clinical services. I have a Masters degree from Columbia University and have worked in clinical settings with a variety of clients over my years in the field. My work is always client focused and based on my experience, training, and genuine therapeutic connections I make with my clients.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session my goal will be to help you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. There will be time to speak about what brings you therapy and what you hope to achieve through your therapeutic work. We will begin exploring patterns, goals, and priorities so that the work and the sessions feel purposeful from the start. It is my hope that clients leave their first session with me with a clearer sense of direction and reassurance that they will have a compassionate partner in this therapeutic journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I have provided clinical services for more then three decades. What sets my clinical work apart is my ability to create a calm, safe, and supportive space where individuals, couples, and families can work through complex situations and rebuild/strengthen meaningful connections. My approach is grounded in trauma informed care and guided by the clinical belief that healing happens through understanding and structure. It is my belief that I provide a steady and balanced approach to all my clinical work that is marked by empathy and respect.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals, couples, and families who are ready to make meaningful changes, even if the path forward feels uncertain. I work best with those who are looking for a therapist who is warm, direct, and collaborative and can balance compassion with structure.

Compassion Focused
