Afterwards, I completed my Post-Masters Certification in Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counseling from Montclair State University. My position as a Senior Clinician has allowed me to expand my hospital’s clinical program. This includes being the main contributor to program development as well as overseeing clinical matters to prioritize and ensure client care. My experience in different hospitals also consists of conducting individual, group, family and couples therapy, and providing psychoeducation for family members on addiction. I have worked at different levels of care including, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient. My experience in research has supported me to create field experiments, and execute the collection and analyzation of data. I have co-created and facilitated a series of workshops for adolescents in New Jersey on strategies to address complex social pressures while developing positive coping strategies. Findings and outcomes of study were presented at the Virginia Social Sciences Association Annual Conference held at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, and remain up to date with continuing education coursework, continually evolving in my education. An important part of my development as a therapist is to regularly discover and read relevant articles, journals and literature as a way to stay in tune with the most up to date research. https://www.serinapinotherapy.com/home daily 1.0 2023-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d815c507e80527ce35957/1655821219139-IHW3B7UHHWI1NXMT09VZ/unsplash-image-REKXJ7JhwiI.jpg Therapy for Men, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Couples and Families in Montclair, NJ - TOPICS I HELP MY CLIENTS WITH Uncertainty around drinking patterns & fear of committing to sobriety Guilt/shame Vulnerability Loss of control Anger Building connection in relationships Codependency & boundary setting People pleasing/approval seekers Difficulty expressing emotions Communication/conflict resolution Managing changes in relational/family dynamic in addiction and recovery Self-esteem Perfectionism Anxiety https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d815c507e80527ce35957/da645fa1-489c-4541-9fc1-e54f798583ba/IMG-8888.jpg Therapy for Men, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Couples and Families in Montclair, NJ - Hi, I'm Serina. In my experience, I have come to believe we are emotional beings connected by our various relationships. Whether they are intimate, family, friends, or acquaintances, sometimes the relationship we have with ourselves can get in the way. If this resonates with you, I can help. In my practice, I will help you work past your inner critic and work toward self-acceptance. We can find the courage to be present with uncomfortable emotions, express feelings, and manage stress to develop better coping skills for everyday life. I utilize a number of client-centered and systemic approaches to tailor treatment unique to you and your goals. My background has shaped my compassionate, yet direct and goal-oriented style of therapy. I am committed to helping explore and expand upon the wisdom and insight you have within. Let us try to feel comfortable and find wholeness in who we are. Let us build toward a more fulfilling life. I would love to help you get there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d815c507e80527ce35957/1652905961295-EA2ZF6SMQKPZYGPOQHVD/unsplash-image-IhuHLIxS_Tk.jpg Therapy for Men, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Couples and Families in Montclair, NJ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d815c507e80527ce35957/1656091774833-YFSPIYY9569HDQDD09PI/unsplash-image-DR6wPYR2DRc.jpg Therapy for Men, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Couples and Families in Montclair, NJ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d815c507e80527ce35957/1662485544155-YPFEWEOH8O9A6Z5O441V/unsplash-image-gG70fyu3qsg.jpg Therapy for Men, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Couples and Families in Montclair, NJ https://www.serinapinotherapy.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-10-03 https://www.serinapinotherapy.com/services daily 0.75 2024-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1592257873663-UIEP0NPR7WLXHEWM0EJF/image-asset.png Services - I do not accept insurance at this time.
