Sandra Trzanowski-Gawley LCSW Certified EMDR and Trauma Therapist NJ NY

About

Meet Sandra

Together, we’ll work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, heal painful experiences that continue to influence your present, and help you feel more connected to yourself and the people you love. Maybe you’ve spent so much time meeting everyone else’s needs that you’ve lost sight of your own.

Therapy offers the opportunity to slow down, make sense of what brought you here, and begin healing what continues to influence your life today. I also support couples seeking to strengthen their relationship or thoughtfully discern what is best for them.

As an LCSW providing therapy to adults and couples in NJ and NY, I use EMDR to help the brain reprocess distressing experiences so they no longer feel as overwhelming in the present. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps individuals and couples better understand emotional needs and create stronger, more secure connection.

My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they rediscover hope and find their way back to themselves.

I would be honored to support you.
