Ailene Espiritu
Hi, my name is Ailene Espiritu, LPC. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montclair State University and my Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling at Columbia University, Teacher's College. I have a wide range of experience working in various work settings including outpatient and residential settings.
When a client begins to change their maladaptive thought patterns and starts using more adaptive thinking patterns which can build self-esteem and self-confidence.
I help clients gain insight into how their thought patterns impact their behaviors and work together with the clients on changing maladaptive thought patterns.
The first session consists more of questions and answers to gain biopsychological information, create treatment plan goals and review policy and procedure.
Seeing the growth in others such as building self-esteem, self-confidence, managing their anxiety better, navigating and moving past depressive states, and building life satisfaction. Its rewarding being part of a client's journey and helping them navigate challenges while also celebrating accomplishments.
Highlights
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I know life is full of daily stressors and challenges that can bring us feelings of anxiety and worry, which can be overwhelming at times. It can feel difficult to manage our emotions and cope with the day to day stresses. In times like these we need a helping hand. My counseling style is person-centered and strengths-based that creates an open and safe space where people can feel safe exploring their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I believe that every person's story is their own and with this philosophy in mind, I work to help people to develop the skills needed to cope with life's challenges.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are being open and personable. I focus on creating rapport and trust with clients to learn more about their life story and help them navigate challenges in their life.
