New clients continue care with this provider

My name is Victoria Jutrowski, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), as well as a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) in the state of New Jersey. I am passionate about making people feel less alone, the destigmatization of mental health disorders, and bringing my own unique approach to a clinical space. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including inpatient/outpatient levels of care, ambulatory withdrawal management, and group private practice setting. I am experienced working with teenagers ages 15+ as well as adults in all stages of life. During my free time I enjoy cooking, reading, traveling, exercise, and cuddling with my two dogs.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I will gather some background information so I know how to best support you in treatment. (I know this can be the most stressful part about starting therapy because it is so vulnerable! I ensure you I try to make the information-gathering process feel like a conversation and not an interview.) This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will also review my practice policies and procedures, and answer any questions you have along the way.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths as a therapist are my empathy, direct/effective communication, clinical knowledge, and my humor. For more information about me and client reviews/experiences please visit heartshavenllc.com.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with motivated clients who are open to feedback/direction, and are willing to put in the work. These clients are open to consistent weekly/biweekly therapy sessions in order to yield best outcomes. I see clients in all stages of life, that are seeking the tools and support necessary to thrive.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize this treatment method to help clients with negative self talk, rumination, and excessive worry.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I utilize this treatment method to help clients increase distress tolerance as well as mindfulness skills.

Humanistic

I like to ensure my clients feel as though I am a relatable human, and not a "clinical robot."

Motivational Interviewing

I like to utilize this approach when getting to know a client, so they feel supported and understood in session.

Eclectic

I like to utilize a treatment method based on my client's needs, not falling back on a "one size fits all" approach.
