Everyone deserves a safe space to be heard and supported. I’m Carolyn Rizza, and I’ve been working in the mental health field since March 2020. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from The College of New Jersey and have experience providing in-person and virtual sessions for individuals, couples, and groups. I prioritize creating a comfortable, inclusive environment and work collaboratively with each client to help them reach their goals and improve their overall quality of life.
I take a collaborative approach, using evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness to tailor treatment to each client’s needs. My goal is to foster connection, provide encouragement, and help clients feel heard and empowered on their journey.
At Lifebulb, we focus on therapist satisfaction so clients can receive the best care possible. Choose from virtual sessions, in-office visits, flexible hours, and licensed clinicians who accept major insurance. Visit our site or call today—we’re ready to support you.
