Hello! My name is Elise Nerenberg. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey and Florida. I received my Bachelor's degree of Social Work from Penn State and my Master's degree from Fordham University. For over 19 years, I have been working in private practice with individuals,couples and families. At this time, I meet with clients virtually in New Jersey and Florida. Ihope to also see clients in-person in Florida in the near future.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will spend time to get to know each other. I will review the intake process, inform you of my office policies, ask you about the reason you have come to therapy and tell you some information about myself. We will work on building rapport to establish a strong therapeutic relationship. When you leave our first session, I want you to feel like you were seen and heard and hope that therapy will work for you.
