Anita Szalontai, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Hello! My name is Anita Szalontai. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with various populations, in various settings, such as a community mental health clinic, hospital, college wellness center, and residential substance use treatment. I earned my BSW in Hungary at the University of Debrecen, and my MSW in the US at Touro College Graduate School of Social Work. I completed motivational interviewing training at Columbia University, as well as earned a credentialed alcohol and substance use counselor certificate based on my experience with the population. I'm utilizing my academic knowledge and professionalpersonal experiences in specific cases, such as panic challenges, domesticintimate partner violence, substance use issues, and immigration challenges. I also possess information about additional resources that can be helpful in some instances. I would use a mixture of therapy styles tailored to your needs—such as psychodynamic, person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy, to name a few. My goal is to determine your strengths, reintroduce them to you, and show you how to utilize them. In other words, my therapy sessions are strength- and evidence-based, as well as providing empowerment to get you through difficult times.
