About
Meet Ivana, LMSW
People and their stories have always piqued my curiosity. I enjoy hearing details of their stories; the good, bad and cringy! I have a strong interest in identifying the root cause of problems. I strive to help people overcome their obstacles and collaborate with them on creating a broader image. My mission is to empower and motivate individuals to overcome challenges, accomplish their goals, and lead a fulfilling life.
I have over five years of experience in the field of mental health and am a licensed social worker in the state of New Jersey. Since 2010, I immersed myself in all things psychology, I have experience in, but not limited to individual, group and couples psychotherapy, coaching, emergency services, crisis intervention and case management. Outside of my coaching practice I am an independent contractor providing psychotherapy services under supervision. The populations I have served include individuals with anxiety, depression, personality and mood disorders.
In my spare time, my focus is on self-improvement, spending time with my family and reading. Through reading and listening I seek to improve the ways I can help people edit their narratives and build closer connections. I am passionate about the work I do and strive to offer the best support. Among all my qualifications, people I work with find my empathy and compassion most noteworthy.
