More about Erika Pilato, MA, LAC

Erika Pilato treats patients between the ages of 15 and 50 years old. I earned by Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from The City University of New York and my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Rider University. I received my Post Master’s Licensed Associate Counselor Certification from Kean University. I am a NJ State Certified School Counselor, a Licensed Associate Counselor, as well as a National Certified Counselor. In addition, I am a Certified Positive Discipline Parent and Classroom Educator. For the last 15 years, I have worked as a school counselor. Prior to becoming a school counselor, I worked in the financial services industry. I have always felt that I was destined to work in the helping field so it is no surprise that I made a career change and am now working in a career that I am passionate about. Therapeutic Philosophy My counseling philosophy is rooted in the concept of establishing a safe space that is non-judgmental, where clients can heal and grow at their own pace. My approach to therapy is multimodal. I am confident in the thought that utilizing different types of therapy can be more beneficial for therapeutic growth and change. I do lean towards the humanistic approach to counseling, which believes that people are basically good, and have an innate need to make themselves and the world better. I work with each client to build a strong therapeutic alliance utilizing empathetic dialogue, to develop a unique therapeutic plan that is shaped by each client’s own personal needs and goals. I try to see the world as my clients see it, as such I listen empathically and without judgment. My goal is to help people to find their personal worth and to help them understand that they have the ability to overcome hardship, pain and despair.
