Roberta Gelfand, MSW, LCSW

Making changes in our lives can be a scary and overwhelming process. Personal growth is a lifelong journey that not only challenges you but also provides a gratifying experience. This is a journey of self-discovery, learning to trust your inner voice, and finding inner peace amidst the chaos. I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and New Jersey, I have refined my expertise in working with diverse populations and addressing a range of issues. I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and somatic modalities to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs. My primary focus is on helping adults, with an emphasis on psychological flexibility and mindfulness. I’m passionate about therapy that prioritizes value-driven, committed action and self-awareness. I believe therapy is most effective when it combines humor, honesty, and compassion. If you’re seeking a therapist who agrees with everything or lets you vent for 50 minutes each week, I’m not the right fit for you! I’m committed to your growth and will ensure we use our time together to the fullest. I’m here to celebrate your small wins and big breakthroughs, and I’ll always be open and transparent with you. My approach as a therapist is grounded in creating a safe, empowering, and supportive space for you. I'm here to support adults in navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relationship issues, along with parenting hurdles, career obstacles, and life-changing moments.
