Life Transitions NYC: Listening to Women - Jennifer Abcug, LCSW

I am a New York State Licensed Clincal Social Worker and have been providing counseling and psychotherapy since 1998. I received my graduate degree from New York University School of Social Work and my undergraduate degree from Brandeis University where I was an English & American Literature major and a Philosophy of Religion minor. I have done post-graduate work at Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York City and Columbia University's Narrative Medicine Program. Additionally, I am a certified Cognitive-Behavior Therapy Cancer Clinician and am a member of the National Association of Social Workers. My specialties include, but are not limited to: grief, loss & bereavement; living with a chronic or terminal illness; anxiety; depression; fertility issues; marital stress; life transitions and parenting. Over the years, I have incorporated a blend of approaches into my practice. Therefore, treatment is tailored to meet your individual needs. Some of the disciplines from which I draw are Gestalt, Cognitive-Behavioral, Insight-Oriented and Expressive Psychotherapies. Short-Term Counseling
If your needs call for the more basic practice of problem-solving, time-limited therapy (6-8 weeks) with solution-focused goals is another approach I use with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy lends itself nicely to this treatment plan.
