Getting to know Albert Volk

The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC00413900. Hi there, I am Albert. Do you feel that specific life events have had a great impact on how you are managing and functioning daily? I am a clinician who believes that the past influences the present and future and if trauma has been a part of the human experience the impact on human functioning is even greater. It is my goal to create a safe and caring counseling atmosphere and setting so that the individual feels safe to explore the effect of trauma or any life event(s) that have impacted their life. Clients are encouraged to explore and engage in new aspects of themselves; finding new abilities which increase their positive daily functioning by increasing their living tool kit with new creative and important tools. I utilize evidence-based modalities to address the unique and specific needs of each client and I do so from a trauma-informed perspective. I provide long-term psychotherapy; I also work with clients doing short-term solution-focused therapy that is goal-specific. I completed my master's in counseling in 2005 from New Jersey City University. From 2005 to 2010 I was an associate counselor and upon completion of my supervision hours became a Licensed Practicing Counselor in 2010. I have had experience working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community outreach and providing in-home therapy services for individuals and families. I have worked treating depression, anxiety, behavior problems, ADHD and issues related to gender identity as well as issues facing couples.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work to build a client-counselor relationship that is built with understanding, collaboration, and empathy. I want clients to experience a counseling atmosphere that allows them to feel secure to discuss issues that cause them emotional and behavioral struggles. After our first session is complete, I hope that the client will feel that they have engaged with someone who they feel has their best interest in mind and will enable them to work through issues that cause them emotional pain and conflict. My greater hope is that clients will leave the first counseling session feeling that their seeking counseling was a good choice. They feel this because they interacted with someone who has taken the time to listen to what they are grappling with and wants to provide support and help.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

He's an amazing therapist. Insightful, patient, and knows how to work with you. I've grown in leaps and bounds in such a short time thanks to him.
First appointment went very well. I just appreciate the questions being asked to me rather than just him listening to me ramble on for an hour. Seemed like he legitimately cared about how I felt and how we could move forward.

I've had the privilege of working with my therapist for some time now, and I can confidently say that he embodies the qualities that make a therapeutic relationship truly effective and enriching. He approaches our discussions with a depth of knowledge and understanding that I find both impressive and reassuring. He genuinely understands and empathizes with my experiences, making it easier for me to open up and discuss my thoughts and feelings. His relatability creates a safe and non-judgmental space where I feel understood and supported. But one of the things I appreciate most about my therapist is his thoughtful and considered approach to our sessions. He takes the time to listen attentively to my concerns and questions before offering well-thought-out responses that are both insightful and constructive. His responses reflect a careful consideration of my unique circumstances and needs, making our discussions incredibly meaningful and beneficial. I always feel that he truly contemplates responses and questions to have an effective session.
Albert has taught me how to regulate & identifying my emotions. Albert encourages me to speak kindly to myself and how to coach myself through my moods! Albert is an authentic, empowering super human!
