Patricia Magnotta, LCSW
Owner of Monmouth Integrative Counseling Services

You may be ready to take a courageous first step and choose a therapist for your needs. I treat your concerns in a non-judgmental environment of respect and confidentiality. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This type of approach helps to better understand how your thoughts contribute to behaviors that may lead to emotional distress. CBT is effective to help anxiety, fears, obsessions/compulsions, relationship issues, self-esteem and depression.

I am certified in telehealth. We have immediate openings for anyone in need of services during this uncertain time. Insurances accepted.

In addition, I am a Certified Grief Recovery Counselor (The Grief Recovery Method). Grief is the normal and natural emotional response to loss. Death, divorce, pet loss, moving, starting college, change in finances, or an end to a romantic relationship can trigger a grief response. Grief is emotional, not logical. 

Our first contact will put your concerns at ease . I have helped individuals, couples, and families work through life’s difficulties. Call or email to schedule a phone consultation. My office staff will process your insurance for you.

George Grant, LPC

People sometimes seek professional help for complex thoughts and feelings that might be depressive, obsessive, anxious, or ideas and feelings that somehow complicate life. Relationships at work, home, or even changes in life circumstances, including health, finances, and interpersonal situations, may trigger these complex mental states. The ability to share life’s struggles with an empathetic professional in a safe setting and together to set and work toward goals is therapeutic.

I work with people by consulting with them to understand what they want from treatment, how they would like their lives to be different, and how best to co-create is always at the center of the therapy. In addition to general practice, I also specialize in treating people with Asperger’s.

My background in counseling and psychoanalysis allows me to help clients explore their lives from multiple perspectives and enables me to suggest a wide range of possibilities. I am as comfortable addressing isolated issues as I am working with more pervasive ones, I see people of any sex, gender, orientation, race, or ethnicity from adolescence to old age.

Congratulations on taking the step to find the right therapist for you. I understand that finding someone who “gets” you is key to having success in therapy. I am a Licensed Social Worker and received my master’s degree from Rutgers University. I take a client-centered approach to therapy and believe every client’s individual needs, goals and strengths should determine their course of treatment. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults and families seeking treatment for mental health and substance use concerns. I have also worked providing behavioral health assessment and care coordination for individuals throughout the state of New Jersey.   Prior to becoming a therapist, I completed a BA in Speech and Language Pathology, and worked with young children in a preschool setting. While completing my Bachelors, I also worked as a language and literacy coach for children through a national early education program. Because of these varied experiences, I enjoy working with individuals throughout all stages of life. 

I believe that the most valuable contribution a therapist can make is to create an environment where you are comfortable being your authentic self. For that reason, my approach to therapy is down to earth.  I am passionate about helping clients gain the tools to live a fulfilled life and connect with a sense of purpose and confidence. My other passions in life include travel, reading, iced coffee, and spoiling my dog and cat. I look forward to meeting you, and to helping you meet your best self.
