What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?

There are two key components to the therapeutic relationship: commitment and accountability. Committing to the process means that the client will "work the work" outside of therapy and be accountable to it. Responsibility cannot exist within accountability and vice versa. Being responsible and accountable to change means knowing and living with the awareness that only actions taken toward yourself can help and change you. The therapist acts as a guide.

What would be important for someone to know about working with you?

Therapy requires honesty and transparency. I welcome and work with questions and feedback to further the therapeutic progress. If you are working comprehensively toward change, it means there will be questions. I collaborate with my clients and enjoy building working relationships based on the tenets of any professional relationship. What is key is distinguishing the difference between the role of a therapist, who you may see weekly that you share personal details with and a friend that has different boundaries and responsibilities to you. No matter how long the relationship, a therapeutic relationship is meant to end with goals to graduate into the frontier of change.

In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?

In life and treatment, truth and honesty is key. Truth directs action, creates and upholds character and changes lives. An individual's relationship with the truth is the key to all wellness, freedom and change. If you can start living and honoring the truth, you can repair, heal and move forward separating your past from the present and future. The truth certifiably sets you free as it demands you encounter and work thru your fears along the way. Scary? Yes. Worth it? 100% I do this work because as I tell every individual, the work, works.

  • Pennsylvania, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, CW016898

Education

ADELPHI UNIVERSITY, Master of Social Work, BEHAVIORAL MODIFICATION AND FAMILY SYSTEMS, 2007

I am a client centered clinician and practice systems theory: understanding the impact/influence of the systems the client operates within. How is the client's health impacting the problem (biology)? The influence of their role at work? Etc. This approach facilitates comprehensive exploration of the issue to facilitate comprehensive solutions to then implement. Individuals are influenced by all areas of their life (systems) and have to cope with a multitude of factors that need to be addressed to aid with enacting comprehensive change. My clinical experience is comprehensive in treating the fluidity of a client's experience inclusive of understanding and then treating the impacts of trauma.

Work History

I'm Michele J. Rosario, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and Certified Employment Assistance Professional (CEAP) in the State of Pennsylvania offering behavioral health sessions via Telehealth offering solutions focused sessions aimed at change. What is solution focused treatment? It means engaging the problem from a solution focused perspective to aid with empowerment. My clinical experience includes everything from working with adult trauma survivors including first responders and military personnel to hospice care. Additionally, I have experience working as an onsite EAP consultant in work environments to aid with life stressors within the workplace. This journey has created and cultivated my passion for education to find solutions to empower and enact change. This also developed my foundational clinical focus of utilizing psycho-education to empower clients to "know what a therapist knows" (Judith Herman). I acquired my Bachelor's of Arts (BA) degree from Hofstra University before deciding to enter into the mental health field via the pursuit of a Master's of Social Work (MSW) from Adelphi University in their clinically advanced program graduating Magna Cum Laude. I am humbled to state that I was hired by the facility where I was performing my final graduate rotation given their citing my diligent clinical efforts supporting individuals (families of) that had undergone a catastrophic health crisis. In 2011, I acquired my LCSW and CEAP in PA before entering into private practice. Since that time, I continue to provide consultative services for other clinical professionals and working as a mentor to other LCSW candidates and clinicians.
