Hi there! My name is Jessica Filpo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. I received my Master's degree from New York University, and have been practicing in this field for over 6 years. I have helped many individuals of all ages and from many different walks of life. It will be an honor to be a part of your journey!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, establish rapport and readiness for treatment. Then we will dive into specific challenges you are currently facing and wish to focus on. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. You basically led and I will follow wherever you feel comfortable in order to create a safe space.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My approach to therapy is warm, easy going, empathetic, down-to-earth, and meeting people where they are through conversation.
