Antoinette Bonafede, LCSW, DBT, CBT, REBT is an experienced clinician that treats people of all ages. A client usually is struggling but feels connected enough with me as their therapist to speak openly and freely about their experience. They can accept feedback with an understanding that we are both on the same team. When we touch on something out of their comfort zone, I hope they recognize they are safe and can stay engaged in the process. Together, we push past the barriers preventing them from feeling better, and they gain a better understanding of themselves to meet their potential.

I believe in individuality; the beauty of my training in several modalities is that I have many different resources available to create a care plan with you. I specialize in personality disorders, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, & ADHD; I offer a humanistic perspective as we sort through your feelings and learn to navigate them more effectively.

You deserve to see yourself through a clear lens. Sometimes when we are struggling, our view can be skewed or unclear, preventing us from moving forward. Together, let's sort through what makes you extraordinary.
