Please let me introduce myself to you. My name is Roberta Tessler; I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in psychotherapy and counseling. I have a Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University, and 5 years of post-graduate work in eating disorders, mediation, and parent coordination.
I am an am an interactive, solution-focused therapist. I maintain the belief that people can grow, heal, and transform. This expectation is held no matter how intense one's defenses and wounds are. My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help you address current life challenges and long-standing issues. Together, with compassion and understanding, we will develop your strengths and achieve your life's goals.
As a Certified Mediator, I utilize proven conflict resolution techniques in working with couples and families. I am also a Certified Parent Coordination Trainer, working with parents during separation or divorce, helping to protect your children emotionally through a potentially traumatic time.
Therapy can address a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship crises, parenting problems, emotional distress, career issues, substance abuse, significant loss, and clinical disorders or conditions such as self-mutilation (cutting) or eating disorders. You can also look to therapy for life-enhancing help in fulfilling aspirations for personal growth or self-improvement.
