About Jennifer Most

I hold an MSW from Rutgers University School of Social Work, with a concentration in Spirituality and Aging, and a BA from Rutgers University’s Livingston College, focusing on Theater Arts at Mason Gross School of the Arts. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, family and relationship issues, stress, self-esteem challenges, PTSD, and emotional regulation. My therapeutic approaches include CBT, DBT, mindfulness, expressive arts/play/art therapy, strength-based strategies, and trauma-informed care. With clinical expertise working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples, I bring cultural competence and deep respect to my practices. I value creating a safe, supportive space where clients can discover their voices, share their stories, and empower themselves throughout their healing journey.

FAQs

I had a client who was coping with anxiety and panic attacks. In sessions this client began to identify symptoms and triggers in therapy and process their emotions in connection to their anxiety. In developing rapport and trust together through our sessions the client started to see small changes on a daily basis. Through our sessions various forms of coping for self such as meditation, yoga, journaling and practicing mindfulness formed. This client showed great results from the work we did together, anxiety lessening and decreasing significantly. Their panic attacks ceased. They were socializing more often, their communication skills opened up with family and friends. Lastly, they were setting more goals for themself outside of therapy, including attending classes to further develop themself.This was particularly significant to me as it is the greatest honor to know that a client has made a breakthrough in the work we do together. It was also beautiful to see the growth the client has made for themself and to know I was part of the change the client made by holding space for them on their journey.

Clients can expect the development of trust and rapport. They can also expect creative approaches, the utilization of humor, interventions, and coping skills that may be helpful for clients. I use active, compassionate and empathetic listening skills to empowering clients to develop their own voice in a safe space through exploration of self in an authentic and supportive environment.

The first session will include the review of confidentiality between myself and my clients, empathetic listening and welcoming into the space, any past history with other therapists that may have or may not have been effective for them. I use open-ended questions, with discussion of goals that the clients would like to achieve while in therapy, include a summary of the session and will schedule for the next session.

I believe everyone has a story to be told, I want to give space for each person to share their story and develop their voice on their path of healing and self-discovery.
