About me
Through our work together, clients can expect to learn practical coping skills and gain a deeper understanding of how to approach challenges as they arise. My goal is to support symptom reduction while helping improve overall quality of life and well-being.
My name is Helena Gage, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Ramapo College of New Jersey and have several years of experience working with adolescents and adults navigating mental health and substance use concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and related challenges. I believe in meeting clients where they are in life and supporting progress toward goals that feel meaningful and achievable.
I utilize a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, among others. Treatment is thoughtfully tailored to reflect individual needs, strengths, and circumstances, allowing the therapeutic process to feel personalized and effective.
One of my greatest strengths is creating a safe, comfortable space where vulnerability feels possible and concerns can be expressed openly. I focus on providing steady support through life’s challenges while empowering growth, resilience, and confidence. With experience across multiple therapeutic modalities, I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients move forward, overcome obstacles, and work toward the life they want to live.
