Getting to know Donna Puglia

I am a licensed Addiction Counselor and Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers University–New Brunswick. My approach to therapy centers on autonomy, encouragement, and self-discovery for each client. With an empathetic attitude, I foster mindful respect, attentive listening, and exploration within the therapeutic relationship. Growth, change, and healing are among the many topics we will explore in session.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As an Addiction Specialist you will learn coping skills that can assist in managing feelings that can sometime lead to lapses in substance use. We will identify triggers that lead to continue use and abuse of substances. When triggers are identified in session, you will learn healthy ways of coping with the identified triggers and adopt a healthier way of reacting to those triggers.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The environment created in session will be of autonomy and empathy and will foster an open-minded conversation. You as the client, will take away skills that can assist in day-to-day life and will learn how to effectively deal life stressors in a healthy manner and will give the client positive outcomes in their day-to-day life. The client will learn to live life on life's terms without the use of a substance or an addictive behavior to cope.
