Getting to know Denise Ardito
*IMPORTANT NOTICE*: At Healing Connections Counseling Center, goodness of fit is of the upmost importance.
About Denise Ardito, LCSW, PsyA :
I am an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in New Jersey and a psychotherapist and founder of Healing Connections Counseling Center, LLC. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Montclair State University in 2001 and received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Hunter College in 2003 and have been practicing in the field ever since. I am also a NJ Certified School Social Worker and am certified to provide Clinical Supervision through the NASW (National Association of Social Workers) to other therapists and those seeking licensure in the state of New Jersey. I am also a graduate of The Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies, Inc, making me a certified Psychoanalyst for those of you seeking traditional psychoanalysis. I am also training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and have so far achieved my IFS Level I training.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults with anxiety and depression and have a strong background working in schools with children, adolescents, and their families. I received much of my postgraduate clinical training working in a local therapeutic high school (Sage Day Schools) in Rochelle Park, NJ for ten years with at risk, emotionally fragile teens where I provided individual, group and family therapy to students and their families while also receiving intensive clinical training via individual, peer, and family supervision. I then went on to run an in-district therapeutic program through Sage In-District Services in Wayne Public Schools while having a small private practice on the side. As life happens, that program got cut out of the district’s budget and left me jobless! This gave me the needed guts to FINALLY launch into full time private practice, something that scared me for years, but alas, life poses challenges that oftentimes give us the nudge we need to CHANGE and GROW.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy is a great way to begin to look how to bring balance into your system and help you become the best version of yourself. You and I will form a trusting, open, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which we will come to a deeper understanding of your story. During this journey, we will explore the patterns you have formed in relationships in your life, gain insight into what drives your emotions, come to a greater understanding of who you are and aid you in gaining better control over your life. Through therapy, you can improve your relationships, experience relief from the symptoms that brought you into therapy, increase your feelings of self-worth, and live a happier, emotionally healthier, and balanced life. I say a lot to clients, but also to family and friends, life is hard enough, why do it alone? This is where yours and my story begins as I walk alongside you in this therapy journey. We all have our stuff, let’s sort through yours together. I'm excited to be part of this next chapter in your life with you.

More information on payments and coverage
Healing Connections Counseling Center is in-network with BCBS and Aetna insurance plans, with the exception of any Medicare, Medicaid, EAP, Marketplace, or Carelon related plans. If you have another insurance carrier and your plan has out-of-network coverage, the office will provide you with a super bill to submit directly to your insurance plan. Since we would be considered an out of network provider with any other insurance carriers besides BCBS and Aetna, the client would be responsible for the full fee of the session, which is $200 for a 60-minute session or $180 for a 45-minute session with Denise Ardito. The client would submit a super bill to their insurance and receive reimbursement (if applicable to their plan) directly from their insurance company. If you need assistance with submitting out of network super bills, we can have a member of our billing department walk you through the process.
