Executive Director & Owner, LCSW, CASAC, A-CBT
Dena Lampert
For many years, I have naturally gravitated toward the Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model. This evidenced-based model focuses on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected, like the points of a triangle.
Often, when we find that our behavior is dysfunctional, it is usually connected to distorted thoughts and feelings. CBT teaches us how to become mindful of our distorted thinking and how it affects us emotionally and behaviorally. In my experience, this approach is very effective in helping to create a change in life.

Dr. Carrie Sollin
Although I consider myself an eclectic counselor I tend to always gravitate towards Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. I feel this approach works best with setting goals and achieving them. CBT therapy is effective in so many aspects of our life, in school, at work, and at home.
Most of my experience has been with the young adult population, I specialize in anxiety-related concerns, relationship and family issues, transitional concerns, self-image and social problems, and trauma.

My goal as a therapist is to meet you where you want to start, and to work together so you can arrive at your wanted destinations. Using emotion-focused therapy, I will validate you and then focus on addressing your challenges.

Jen Competello
I am a firm believer that not all therapeutic approaches fit all. CBT, Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing have shown to be beneficial throughout my experience as a therapist. With this increased insight, clients can challenge these maladaptive thoughts which can lead to improvements in behaviors and positive outcomes in their lives.
