Christina BaroneMSW, LSW

I am a licensed social worker in both New York, and New Jersey. I received my masters degree from Fordham University in Manhattan. I’ve been practicing clinical social work for about 26 years and work with both adults and adolescence. In my years of practice I have worked with individuals, groups and families , struggling with day-to-day stressors, emotional, family, mental health, and behavior issues.
Practices that I have used include the strength- based approach client-centered approach, trauma attuned therapy, CBT and life coaching.

An Assessment is done to address the needs of each person individually and because each person is unique and will be treated as such.

It is sometimes not easy to admit that we cannot handle our issues on our own but when we realize the need for extra help and support it’s the first step to reaching our fullest potential. I look forward to being part of that process with you.

If we do not know who we really are, we often can find ourselves confused and lost, which can lead to depression and anxiety, which can then mislead our consciousness. Two most important keys to resolving our problems are “self-discovery” and “self-love”. Only then we may start understanding the people around us and the world we live in.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I counsel individuals, couples, and families in dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and/or life transitions such as pre-marriage, marriage, becoming a new parent, divorce, and post-divorce. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space for my clients, help them discover their own power, better themselves as individuals, find meaningful goals and their passion in life, and improve their lifestyles.

Among other modalities I use in my treatments, such as Structural Therapy and CBT, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as my base, especially in my work with couples that helps create stronger bonds between partners. I like guiding my clients in exploring, understanding, and finding healthy ways to express their emotions.

My multi-cultural background helps me connect with people from all different kinds of cultures. I have multiple degrees in Art, Art History, and Archeology in addition to Psychology, which helps me understand human nature and history. My occupational background varies from hospitality to US Military, which helps me connect with people from various professions and understand their struggles.

I love what I do, I do it with passion, and I make sure my clients feel that. Besides my work, I’m very holistic, spiritual, love to exercise, stay active, spend my time with my husband, my family and my dear friends.
