Hello, My name is Pertina and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience. I would like to take the time to introduce myself to you. I have my Masters in Social Work from Syracuse University. My experience ranges from working with individuals diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, Stress Management and Relationship Conflicts. I am a lifelong learner and believe in staying up to date with different Evidenced Based Treatment models to ensure you are receiving the best. I love to help all people and I specialize with ages 15 to 30 and 31+.
We will discuss the different items you would like to work on and together work towards your different goals. I utilize different evidence-based models but focus on more of an eclectic approach that is tailored to each individual person. An individual plan will be created solely for you.
I am a calm and open person. I am here for you to have a non-judgmental place to express yourself. I want you to always feel respected and to also be able to honestly express your emotions. I am a true believer that therapy is all about you and I am here to assist you and provide support as needed.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
