Bridget Reilly, LCSW is a New York and New Jersey state licensed mental health therapist.  Bridget believes that therapy does not have to be a long, painful process.  While there can be some challenging emotional work, therapy should be a supportive and empowering space to understand and work through your unique challenges, as well as develop and appreciate your unique strengths. 

Prior to starting a private practice, Bridget worked in both agency and group practice settings providing supportive therapy to adults, adolescents, and children.  Bridget specializes in working with adults experiencing chronic stress, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, as well as struggles related to self-esteem, identity, and body image.  She is passionate about helping her clients develop self-compassion and feel empowered in their lives.  To this end, Bridget continues to learn as much as she can in the field of mental health in order to  have many different tools to share with her clients. 
Bridget's approach to therapy is eclectic and draws from several different modalities including traditional insight-oriented talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy.
