Hello! It’s very nice to meet you! My name is Michelle Hoffman Ten Eyck. I’m an LCSW who has practiced in New Jersey for over 23 years. I am driven to help people, wherever they are, in their journey. I work with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, OCD, and other mood conditions. I have worked extensively with the chronically mentally ill population, and their families. I am a certified Screener for the State of New Jersey.
In our first session, I would like to get to know you a bit, and find out what your goals are. I will ask some basic background questions, and discuss with you a plan for how we can work together, to get you closer to your goals.
I have enjoyed working in a variety of settings, so from this, I have developed a gentle approach that makes others feel at ease. I have done extensive work in individual practice, inpatient settings, emergency rooms, schools, correctional facilities, and as a psychiatric screener. Because of the different experiences I have had as a clinician, I have learned to be flexible and open with my clients. I understand that everyone has a story, and a unique journey to travel. I would like to help others have the best experience possible on their journey.
When we work together, I am most interested in helping you attain your goals. We will start wherever you would like to start. At times, I give you something to think about for the week, something that may help you move toward your goal. I ask questions and reframe things so that you can look at things through another lens.
I like to focus on each client's specific and individual needs. Everyone comes from different life circumstances, and has the potential for growth in their own specific ways. I think these differences should be celebrated and brought into sessions.
