Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations are collaborative and straightforward. Together they identify small, realistic steps and coping skills that fit into everyday life.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Temple University and holds the LICSW and LCSW credentials. Gretchen is based in New Jersey and offers therapy in English. If you want to explore whether her approach fits your situation, she will help you weigh options and set clear goals.
