Getting to know Selena Horton

Please read: Upon booking, our office will contact you to walk through the next steps for your appointment. Please note that we do not accept Medicaid or Medicare at this time. The provider is a “Licensed Social Worker" and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their current employer is Human Institute. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed social worker in New Jersey and New York with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals and families through complex challenges. My background includes work in hospitals, nonprofit organizations, and outpatient mental health centers. I specialize in trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and crisis intervention. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who may be navigating stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, or life transitions. I aim to create a safe space where we can explore what’s working, what’s not, and build personalized tools for lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients working with me can expect a safe, respectful, and collaborative space where your voice matters. I believe in meeting people where they are, without judgment, and tailoring treatment to your unique needs and goals. Whether we’re navigating a life transition, addressing a mental health diagnosis, or building healthier coping strategies, I integrate evidence-based techniques like CBT and trauma-informed care with compassion and cultural sensitivity. Sessions may include emotional exploration, practical tools, and attention to how larger systems (like family, community, or societal factors) may impact your well-being. Progress takes time, and my role is to walk with you—supporting growth, healing, and greater self-understanding at a pace that feels right for you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session typically focuses on understanding your current concerns, personal history, and goals for therapy. I conduct a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, using tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 when appropriate, to better understand your emotional and mental health needs. This helps guide our treatment planning and ensures the care we develop together is tailored to you. In ongoing sessions, we may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques, and trauma-informed care—depending on what’s most helpful for your growth. We’ll work collaboratively to identify patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. I also help connect clients to community resources when external support systems are needed. My goal is not to “fix” you—but to walk with you, support you, and empower you as you create the change you’re seeking.
