Allison Mandel-Giampietro, MSW, LCSW is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She earned her graduate degree from Rutgers School of Social Work with a concentration in Children and Families. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Queens College, City University of New York. Allison has over 20 years experience providing services to adults, children and families. Her background is diverse and includes providing services to youth and their families in the home and in the community. Allison has experience in various treatment settings, such as alcohol and drug treatment, veteran centers, non-profit organizations, and hospitals. Allison enjoys working collaboratively with clients to help improve communication, increase self-esteem, cope with loss and grief, and effectively manage emotions. Some interventions she employs include active listening, providing empathy, positive reframing, teaching and exploration and validation of feelings. Among the modalities she uses in therapy are CBT, DBT, Client Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Behavioral Therapy. Some of Allison’s clients have remarked upon her highly developed listening skills, her deep compassion, her understanding, and her abilities to help motivate them. Her clients have also remarked on her professionalism, and her abilities to help them to see and understand concerns from a new and different point of view.
I recently helped a client challenge some of her negative thoughts and learn ways to problem solve and reframe negative thoughts. This client has learned effective ways to manage her anxiety and learn how to use mindfulness and grounding techniques when she felt overwhelmed. She has felt more empowered in her life and hopeful about the future.
I like for my clients to feel as comfortable as possible and to ask what they are looking to gain out of therapy. For each person it may be different and I like to tailor each therapy session and to make it as invidualized as possible.
In our first meeting, I want to create a space where we can get to know each other and you can feel as comfortable as possible. I encourage you to share what you're hoping to gain from therapy, so we can begin to tailor the process to your needs.
I enjoy helping people gain insight into their problems and ways to problem solve.

Perhaps, they will gain more insight about themselves and change some unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors.

I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy & Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am deeply empathetic person and an excellent listener. I encourage ways to problem solve and gain more insight into your thought's and behaviors. I like to provide homework assignments and psycho-educational materials to learn new skills and coping strategies.
