Bridget Reilly, LCSW is a New York and New Jersey state licensed mental health therapist.  Bridget believes that therapy should be a supportive space to understand and work through your unique challenges, as well as identify and nurture your unique strengths..

Prior to starting a private practice, Bridget worked in both agency and group practice settings providing supportive therapy to adults, adolescents, and children.  Bridget specializes in working with adults experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, as well as struggles related to self-esteem and identity.  She is passionate about helping her clients develop self-compassion and feel empowered in their lives.  To this end, Bridget continues to learn as much as she can in the field of mental health so that her practice is based in the latest psychotherapy research. 
Bridget's approach to therapy is eclectic and draws from several different modalities including traditional insight-oriented talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Psychotherapy, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy.
