Face it, life is complicated. Together, let’s make a plan to sort it out and achieve balance and wellbeing. Often we feel like we can't catch a break; whether the stress of a particular event feels overwhelming, many issues seem to be piling up all at once, or you struggle with mental illness, talking with a trained professional can provide serenity amongst the chaos and give you better tools to meet your daily challenges. People who are truly successful in life prioritize their physiological health, and seeking an experienced guide is an important first step along that path. I'm Nicole J. Rossetti--you can call me Nikkie. I have my bachelors from Rutgers University, my MSW from Columbia University, my LCSW and LCADC licenses in New Jersey. I've been in practice for over 11 years. I have extensive experience working with people struggling with adjusting to life changes, addiction, anxiety, relationship issues, college and career challenges, women's issues, self-esteem, anger, and ADHD. I believe a multifaceted approach is key to maintaining lasting wellness. I like to utilize a variety of techniques from CBT, DBT, Humanistic, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused Therapy, and more to tailor treatment to your needs. Together we can examine life's complicated issues and figure out what actions you can take that will empower you to live your best life. Therapy should be a collaborative process: you're in the driver's seat and the therapist is there for support and navigation, with your goals for wellness as our compass. As you reflect and learn along this journey, you'll begin to find peace and unlock your full potential. Happiness is a choice and the right help can get you there. Why wait any longer? Telehealth allows you to meet with me at your convenience, right from the comfort of your home. The social-distance-friendly approach means you don't have to put your mental health on hold for anything. I look forward to working with you!
