Getting to know Neil Warshafsky
Hello! I appreciate that you’re taking this step toward finding a therapist you feel will be a good fit for you. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 12+ years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. For most of this time, I have worked with people around issues of depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief, and relationship/family challenges. I am also passionate about working with LGBTQ folks on issues of coming out and self-acceptance. I know that the decision to look for a therapist isn’t always an easy one, but by doing so, you are taking an important first step toward creating change for yourself!
I take a down-to-earth, warm, supportive, and empathic approach to therapy. I engage in discussion and don’t hesitate to share my own life experience when appropriate. I find that a more personal approach helps strengthen the relationship between me and the people I meet with, which, in turn, helps you feel more comfortable being open in sessions.
I take this approach because therapy is most successful when a client feels like their therapist truly gets them and when there is some level of connection. I focus on ensuring you feel both seen and heard starting with our first session. You will be approached by me with curiosity, interest, and care at all times. At the start of your sessions with me, I will ask how you’d like to begin that day’s conversation and, if you’re not sure, will support you in discovering what might be important for you to talk about in the moment.
I invite you to schedule a first session to see if I am a good fit for what you’re looking for in therapy!
What should a new client know about working with you?
What you need from me might change from session to session but one of my goals is that you will leave each session feeling like you are not alone in your journey. I do not typically assign homework, but will frequently ask you to think through what we discussed in session and to keep some notes about thoughts you have between sessions.
