Therapists in New York

I enjoy working collaboratively and creatively with my clients. I am enthusiastic about the power of the therapeutic process and its ability to transform the human condition. Utilizing a holistic and eclectic approach, I primarily employ Client-Centered Therapy in counseling sessions and incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along the way. My 11 years of experience in clinical counseling has been influenced by a multicultural and social justice perspective and has involved helping children, adolescents, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings to successfully address histories of trauma, depression and anxiety, concerns centered on identity and self-esteem, substance use and chemical dependence, crisis management, and interpersonal conflict among others. The genuine and empathic posture I take in our work, along with the supportive, non-judgmental, and safer space I aim to offer you, will assist us in identifying your strengths and inner resources while examining the problems and distress you are experiencing. I endeavor to help you increase self-esteem, facilitate personal development, and evoke the discovery of answers and solutions necessary for your progress. Additionally, I will aid you in cultivating greater insight and awareness through the exploration of your thoughts and feelings, guide you in creating effective strategies to manage the situations that have brought you to counseling, and promote movement toward healing and growth.

My name is Ms. Lisa Rosario. I'm glad that you stopped by today. I know it can be difficult to meet with a new therapist and I want to thank you for thinking of taking the steps to start this therapeutic alliance with me. Let me tell start by telling you about myself. I am a New York City, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years’ experience in this field. I love what I do and do what I love, so my extensive experience in this field has given me a career I take pride in. I am a first-generation, New York born and raised Puerto Rican Latinx, who identifies as female. I am fully bilingual (Spanish) and bicultural. I earned my bachelor’s degree at Antioch University in Ohio, and my graduate degree at New York University. I continue to share the knowledge I’ve been blessed with by teaching at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work where I’ve been an Adjunct Professor for the past 9 years. I am also in the process of starting a doctoral candidacy. Throughout my career I’ve worked in different settings with a variety of individuals, couples, adolescents/families who have a variety of personal issues that I have listed as part of this profile. I have had a wide array of therapeutic intervention situations that include, but are not limited to depression/anxiety, trauma, sexual/physical abuse, relationships, family concerns, addictions of all kinds, life struggles and immigration, to name a few. I realize that starting this experience can be a bit daunting. That said, allow me to give you and idea of how we would start this process if we are to work together. I would begin by asking you a few questions so I can really understand what you’ve been going through, but before that I’d like to explain to you a little about who I am and what I do as a Therapist. You can always feel free to ask any questions you may have about this process and how we will work together to help you feel better. Next, I may ask you to discuss some of the concerns you may have outlined in your initial message that may have brought you into treatment. I will then ask some questions about your history, background, your symptoms and current struggles. After we've discussed these concerns, we can discuss a bit about your relationships, your interests, your strengths, and your goals. Together we can assess your situation and go over some next steps. Some of this will involve discussing a treatment plan that considers what you feel are your most pressing concerns and how they impact your everyday life. Then we can discuss options as to how we can focus on some of these points and what methods can be used to address them. If that sounds like a plan you can work with, we may be a good fit. Feel free to message me through Better Help to determine when would be the best time for you to set up an initial contact time/date. I look forward to meeting you. Be well and take good care.
