Mona Marie Drucker, LPC

I received by Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Kean College of New Jersey in 1983. I returned to Kean University and completed my Master of Arts degree in the Behavioral Sciences in 1992. I matriculated in Post Graduate studies at Kean University in 2003 in the Counselor Education program and became licensed to practice as an LPC.

I have over 20 years experience working in the mental health field with individuals, couples, and families. My work experience includes a variety of settings including psychiatric hospital, outpatient community mental health, geriatrics, college counseling, and private practice.

My philosophy and approach to working with clients is to focus on the strengths and assets they bring to therapy. The emphasis is on the individual's growth and ability, to move forward in a constructive manner. My goal is to connect with the individual and to work together to develop their innate potential for negotiating life's challenges. I utilize an integrative approach based upon person-centered therapy, focused therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Areas of interest include mood disorders, life-transitions, multicultural issues, grief and bereavement.
