Getting to know Colleen Mielke

Colleen Mielke, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holds a Master’s in Social Work from New York University. My approach to therapy depends on your situation and needs. In general, I begin with attentive listening and empathy immersion before tailoring our therapeutic work to your specific goals. Typically, this starts with a psychodynamic approach and transitions to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you create the changes you seek. My approach includes CBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Existential Processing. My focus areas are psychosocial issues, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, dual-diagnosis, and psychotic disorders. My communication style ensures clients feel heard and understood. Sessions are empathic and honest, addressing your specific problems and needs with directness that supports your recovery. My journey to therapy began when it was suggested I become a therapist. I am a great listener, a poet at heart, and a rational thinker. I perceive and feel beyond what is said. I am emotionally immersive and believe that deep existential conversations are healing and essential to our humanity. My goals for you are centered on your goals. I may suggest one or two objectives to help you achieve the best outcomes. In our first session, I listen carefully, immerse myself in your story, and ask clarifying questions to ensure I fully understand the issues you bring to therapy.
