Mary LaVecchia

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years of experience. I have worked with individuals throughout the life span. My experience has enabled me to develop a style which is warm, collaborative, realistic, and empathetic. I believe deeply in the importance of creating a safe space while also building a strong therapeutic alliance. I have worked with individuals, couples and families facing such issues as anxiety, depression, grief, and conflict. I have extensive experience working with school aged children from Pre-k to 8th grade, along with their parents, facing varying degrees of behavioral problems. My therapeutic approach tends to be integrative, incorporating elements from different treatment modalities, including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, having a certificate from the Albert Ellis Institute, Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy, the Nurtured Heart Approach and Family Systems Therapy.
