Welcome! My name is Vicki Trause and I work at Safe Space Therapy NJ. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC) with over two decades of dedicated experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. This deep, seasoned background allows me to meet clients exactly where they are, offering highly adaptive support tailored to your unique journey. My clinical philosophy is rooted in authenticity, mutual respect, and absolute collaboration. I firmly believe true healing begins in a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected and valued. My absolute priority is creating a warm, safe and easygoing atmosphere where we can build a strong foundation of trust and comfort together. I view our time together as a partnership designed to help you discover the internal strengths, tools, and insights necessary to help yourself. I welcome the opportunity to support you in achieving the balance and peace you deserve.
