Allison Mandel-giampietro, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NJ
I became a therapist because I love helping people grow into the best version of themselves. When I was 18, I went through a tough time and had the support of a guidance counselor who listened without judgment and made me feel understood. That experience stuck with me, and I knew I wanted to offer the same kind of support to others. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University, which equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate, effective care. In therapy, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable and at ease. I take a warm, conversational approach while also helping you set goals and find the structure you need to grow. I believe that success in therapy happens when you become more self-aware, honest with yourself, and ready to take small but meaningful steps toward change. If you're feeling nervous about starting therapy, I completely understand. Opening up to someone new can feel scary, but taking that first step can truly be life-changing. I'm here to support you through the process in a way that feels right for you. Along the way, I always encourage finding little ways to care for yourself-whether that's listening to music, doing something creative, or just taking a few mindful breaths to help ease stress. You don't have to do it alone, and I'd love to walk alongside you on this journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I help clients manage anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma/PTSD with personalized treatment plans. Therapy may include coping strategies, exploring thought patterns, and processing past experiences. You can expect greater emotional balance, self-awareness, and the tools to navigate life with confidence.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I use CBT and DBT to help you manage emotions, build coping skills, and create lasting change. Sessions are supportive and structured, blending warmth with practical tools. Together, we'll identify thought patterns, build resilience, and find strategies that work for you.

In-network insurances

Allison Mandel-giampietro, LCSW has 100+ in-network plans.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

We contact your insurance carrier to verify your benefits and let you know what your copay will be prior to the first session.
