Getting to know Toni Kauffman
Toni Kauffman is a licensed social worker currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. They are employed at Serenium Manalapan. Toni earned a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University.
I have always done well working with young adults (ages 18 to early thirties). I am very open to working with the adolescent population and feel that I would excel in this area. I have also worked well with the elderly population, having experience in nursing homes. My treatment approach is to validate clients upon first interactions to establish a trusting therapeutic alliance. I employ many cognitive behavioral techniques in my work with clients, including worksheets, activities related to challenging cognitive distortions, and open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking and self-reflection. My goal in working with clients is to emphasize personal growth and help them achieve self-actualization.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work well with those who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and/or helping those
diagnosed with PTSD identify healthy coping skills when their triggers arise. I validate the client's feelings
towards a specific stressor and maintain a safe and inclusive environment for them to feel that they can
share with me their thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged. I also have job experience of being
able to assess clients and gage where and what level of care they would benefit the most from. Having
that skill, I have been able to meet the needs of the client and link them to the most appropriate and
successful treatment options. Being a young adult myself, I find it favorable working with clients in their
late teens, 20s and 30s as I understand first-hand how current social, economic, and political issues affect
this age demographic. Despite having an age group that I am partial to, I have worked with all adults ages
18-82 years old. Having that wide range of experience has helped me develop cultural competence as well
as understanding societal norms for each generation and how those norms affect the way clients think,
feel and behave.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
It is very easy to feel alone in the issues that you face in the past, present and future. Everything that you
have experienced in your lifetime up until this point has shaped and molded who you are today. Given all of
the stressors that you have endured, your thoughts, emotions, and actions are valid. It is important to find
a healthy outlet to channel those thoughts and feelings into. By engaging in individual therapy you have the
freedom and safe space to express your feelings without judgement and be able to receive non-biased
feedback. Throughout your therapeutic journey you are able to express your thoughts and emotions and
form a working alliance with your therapist where you are able to challenge whatever negative thoughts
you are encountering and find ways to come up with more helpful thinking. Through this process of
challenging your thoughts and core beliefs and how you perceive things, your emotions and actions will
begin to align with those healthy thoughts where it is then that you will begin to see the positive changes
in your life.

I was not allowed to see the doctor I booked with. The office changed my appointment time after not bothering to verify my insurance until the morning of despite the appointment being made three days prior. Then they gave me some intern to evaluate me, only to tell me after all that that apparently regular depression isn't in the scope of their capabilities and I need to go elsewhere.
Don't waste your time or money with this office like I did. Not worth it.
