Amanda Wisolmerski, LCSW
Hey! I am so glad you're here. Let me introduce myself a little: I'm Amanda. I obtained a Master’s Degree in Social Work at Monmouth University, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers- New Jersey (NASW-NJ). I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I have experience working in residential facilities, IOP, outpatient, and transplant/hospital setting.
I know how difficult it can be to start therapy, especially if this is your first time. I want to start by saying I’m SO proud of you for taking the first step. My goal is to make this process as comfortable as possible for you by creating a warm and nonjudgmental environment.
Let's talk a little about what therapy is like with me... My therapy style is trauma informed, unbiased, and strengths-based. My clients have described me as strong and assertive, yet compassionate. I strongly believe in looking at the "whole you.” Our bodies hold onto our pain and experiences, but our bodies also have the power to heal us. Therefore, besides just talking about your mental health, I will often ask what your nutrition, movement, hydration, and sleep habits are like. Let’s talk about it all!
I have experience working with…
Anxiety
Depression
ADHD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Grief
Women’s Issues
Complex Medical Diagnoses
Caregiver Burnout
Aging
Sexual Dysfunction
Relationship Issues
Difficult Life Transitions
Parenting
Adoption
Sport Performance Anxiety
Sport Injury
Behavioral Issues
Outside of therapy, you can find me…
Tending to my house plants or looking for space to add a new one, reading a mystery/thriller novel, or enjoying the outdoors (unless it’s cold out… don’t expect me to leave the house when it’s cold!) I love cooking and eating good food, and am often browsing social media for the next best recipe.
Your path to healing starts here.
