My New Days provides a pathway to independent licensure for licensed social workers (LSW) and for licensed associate counselors (LAC) by providing individual or small group supervision.
My New Days fosters a shared leadership culture in the supervisory relationship, thus the aspiring independent therapist holds the responsibility of:
-
Maintaining an active liability insurance policy and provide a copy to My New Days supervisor indicating coverage of the supervisor as an "additional insured" on the policy.
-
Strictly abiding by the NASW Code of Ethics and by the licensure code outlined by the NJ Board of Social Work Examiners or the NJ Board of Licensed Professional Counselors.
-
Maintaining a detailed and HIPAA compliant log of their direct and indirect clinical hours, including a list of assigned clients seen; this log must be provided to My New Days supervisor on a quarterly basis, and agree to maintain documentation as outlined by their site of employment.
-
Knowing that My New Days is not an all encompassing expert in all clinical licensure procedures.
-
Clearly and completely understanding the licensure requirements of their own board by reading in full the documents found on the NJ Social Work Board or the NJ Board of Licensed Professional Counselors’ websites.
My New Days will assist aspiring independent therapists in:
Becoming aware of their family of origin
dynamics and the impact on client’s
therapeutic process.
Exploring biasses, stereotypes,
transference, and counter-transference
in their work.
Developing ethical practices and
best practice approaches.
Creating and consistently utilizing
sound clinical decision making skills
and problem
solving steps.
Learning and practicing process
level interventions and documentation.
Exploring the use of professional
self- disclosure and genogram work.
Balancing professional versus
personal life domains and effectively
managing self-care,
team-care, and burn-out.
Our Practice Areas
At My New Days Counseling, we are dedicated to supporting individuals as they work through the impact of both major and subtle emotional wounds. Major traumas may include experiences such as serious accidents, acts of violence, or other events that disrupt one’s sense of safety and stability. Subtle or cumulative traumas—such as emotional neglect, chronic criticism, or long-term invalidation—may not appear as intense, yet they can deeply affect a person’s emotional and psychological health over time.
Through evidence-based, culturally responsive therapeutic practices, our team is committed to walking alongside you as you reconnect with strength, healing, and the possibility of new days ahead. With thoughtful attention to the complexities of trauma, we provide individualized support designed to meet your unique needs and help you move forward with resilience and confidence.
