Psychotherapist Maria Owens, LSW

My name is Maria and I am a licensed social worker with ten years of experience in social services. I received a master’s in social work from Rutgers University in 2011 and a bachelor of arts in psychology from TCNJ in 2005. I am currently receiving clinical supervision and working towards my LCSW. I have provided mental health and substance abuse counseling, in-home and community-based care with seniors and adults who have developmental disabilities, psychiatric case management, brain injury rehabilitation and recreational rehabilitation with veterans. I focus on an individual’s strengths and utilize techniques derived from ACT, DBT, CBT, motivational interviewing and mindfulness. I am deeply empathetic, trustworthy and nonjudgmental.
