Arlene Englander, LCSW, MBA, PA, is a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with over twenty years of experience. Having trained at Columbia University in 1973, she has successfully guided thousands of individuals through challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and compulsive overeating. Arlene believes that therapy goes beyond merely listening; she offers constructive feedback and collaborates with her clients to empower them toward better living. Her approach incorporates various effective techniques, including supportive psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as communications work and assertiveness training. Arlene has also designed seminars and training programs for both laypeople and professionals, focusing on the diverse forms of psychological treatment. With a strength-oriented, solution-focused methodology, she aims to help clients utilize their personal strengths for improved coping and communication skills. Her therapy sessions tend to be relatively short-term, lasting months instead of years, as her ultimate goal is to enable clients to cope successfully on their own.
