Albert J. Treadwell, LCSW

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years’ experience in New York, as well as New Jersey and Florida, providing individual and couples therapy.

I specialize in working individually with those experiencing depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, life cycle issues and transitions, anger management, eating disorders, addictions, such as porn addiction, as well substance use and career burnout. I also work with those in creative industries and artists, such as musicians, focusing on the difficulties that come with these fields. Within couples therapy, I help those struggling with relationship difficulties, such as low communication and high conflict.

I am a multiculturally competent clinician that has always sought out diversity in my client base and approach to therapy. I am passionate about learning about people’s stories and understanding how they have gotten to where they are today.

My approach combines different modalities seen through the lens of a strength perspective, drawing from CBT, Solutions Focus Therapy, Narrative, Gestalt and Existential Therapy. I also draw on my extensive training in psychodynamic therapy to help clients process the past to begin the healing and restructuring process. In order to help my client’s succeed, I focus on what is happening in the here and now, while also getting a sense of my client’s earliest experiences.

Clients can expect a judgment-free zone, where safety, unconditional acceptance and understanding fuels the client’s growing resilience and empowerment. In a short amount of time, clients start to feel a reduction in anxiety, less irritability and a hopefulness about their future.

Working with me will be a focused, purposed, exploratory journey that leaves you empowered. Over time results will include fewer, shorter, and less intense symptoms, more energy, a renewed thirst for life and more harmonious relationships with others as the relationship with the self starts to heal.
