Getting to know Charmaine Taliaferro

Hi there, I'm Charmaine! I'm licensed to practice psychotherapy in NYS and opened a private practice four years ago. I'm a retired Office of Mental Health Chief of Forensic Units in DOCCS's Psychiatric and Mental Health Units. I have over 40 years of experience in mental health and earned my Master's in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from New York University in 1993. Over the years, I have been entrusted with very personal information from diverse individuals in life-altering settings. These experiences have given me a broad view of their issues with a deeper understanding of the micro and macro system dynamics impacting each person's life story, roles, blind spots, obstacles, and accomplishments-and how they form perspectives when evaluating mind, body, and spirit alignments within themselves, families, schools, and communities. LCSW-R My approach I provide a personalized, eclectic approach to therapy for each client. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian, and other psychodynamic theories as foundational concepts, but I adjust my style, focus, resources, and communication as clients' perspectives, perceptions, barriers, and boundaries evolve. We'll assess progress by how you feel about returning each week, achieving established goals, and experiencing more balanced responses and control over your issues and life's challenges. My focus My mental health career began at North Central Bronx's In-Patient Psychiatric Unit after graduating from Lehman College in 1981. After four years, I transferred to Special Services for Children Court-Ordered Sexual Abuse and Hospital Units, now ACS. Since 1998, my patients have been incarcerated adolescent boys and men.
