With over eight years of experience in the mental health field, I am honored to be practicing my purpose of helping others embrace their inner-strength.

I am dedicated to my work with adolescents, adults, & families. My gift is in seeing the big picture. Having obtained my Clinical License (LCSW) & now in private practice, I am accepting clients ages 12 and above. My experience has primarily focused on supporting those with a history of trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.

I am passionate about helping individuals on journeys of self-discovery who seek a better quality of life. Working with couples and families is a strength of mine, as I support clients in uncovering their strengths to thrive within relationships. Family Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for people to share their stories and feel truly heard.

With 20+ years of experience in Social Work, including time in London, I bring a global view to my practice. A New Jersey native, I studied acting at NYU and later earned my Juris Doctor. Returning to my true passion, I completed my MSW at California State university at Long Beach, which was life-changing. My 19 years as a pediatric trauma social worker taught me the value of calm in crisis.

Welcome! I'm Jill Rosenberg, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Life Coach. I understand that seeking help can be a brave and vulnerable step and I appreciate you considering me as someone you can trust. I foster a warm and comfortable relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. It's where you have the opportunity and safety to develop the confidence and skills to make meaningful changes in your life. I'm excited to offer you my expertise, support, and passion.

I have been a social worker practicing psychotherapy for 25 years. I have enjoyed working with a variety of people with many different experiences, both in clinic settings and in private practice. For the past 10 years I have been the director of an outpatient substance abuse treatment clinic. I enjoy helping people work through past trauma and find a way forward. I believe that therapy can benefit anyone who is curious about themselves and wants to improve their lives.

I have spent a majority of my training working across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood, and within family systems. I am trained in helping clients with stress and anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Some of the individuals that I work with are in recovery from eating and substance-related disorders. My clients often face school and work avoidance and may find it difficult to do things they once enjoyed.

As a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner since 2023 and a psychiatric nurse since 2018, I specialize in Complex trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues and co-occurring conditions. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and trauma-informed, focusing on the areas that you would like to work on. All medication or therapy is tailored to your needs and avoiding the "try and see" method of treatment.

I'm passionate about empowering others to know their true worth, to face their past, their fears or anything else that may be keeping them from living out their God given gifts and purpose. I have had the honor of serving as a counselor in the Capital Region of New York for almost 15 years and 6 years ago opened my own private practice.
