“My work with Alanna has been transformational. She is consistent, warm, patient, and so understanding. I really feel like I could trust her and tell her anything without being judged which is so important for therapy. I walk away from our sessions feeling heard and accepted, thanks to my work with her I have a renewed sense of clarity about my life. My boyfriend even noticed how much calmer I've been since I started! Highly recommend ”

Getting to know Alanna Shinske
Welcome! My name is Alanna, and I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for taking the time to consider therapy—I know that taking the first step can be scary. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of New Jersey, with a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. My professional experience includes working with adults and adolescents across various levels of care and clinical settings. I understand the importance of finding the right fit and am passionate about helping clients develop that genuine connection. I am truly motivated to help clients improve their quality of life by identifying treatment goals that move them closer to becoming their best selves.
Much of my success comes from helping adults manage life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues using evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. As a therapist, I take an active and empathetic approach by creating a comfortable space where clients can explore, be heard, and receive valuable insights and feedback.
Through my work, I am personally committed to supporting people through hardships, stressors, and life transitions that affect us all at some point. Feel free to reach out and schedule a free 15-minute phone consult—I look forward to connecting and helping you explore your possible next step.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You can expect to feel empowered and supported throughout our work together. I aim to make therapy as comfortable and valuable as possible so that my clients are equipped with the skills needed to make meaningful, lasting change.

I am so thankful for being able to meet with Alanna! She really helped me work through some challenging times and helped me make some very important decisions that changed my life. Not sure where I'd be with her.

Alanna changed my thoughts on therapy completely...and in the best way possible. Originally I was really nervous about starting but was completely at ease after our first session. She made me feel very comfortable and was more than easy to talk to. Highly recommend getting her as therapist if she is available
