Mitchell Rouzie

Mitchell Rouzie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 35 years of experience working with adults. He focuses on common problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, and the aftereffects of trauma. He also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains, and workplace stress.

Over decades of practice he has supported people who experienced physical injury, emotional abuse, or large-scale trauma. His background includes work alongside first responders, survivors of the World Trade Center attack, and combat veterans. This experience informs how he notices trauma responses and approaches recovery.

His way of working is interactive and validating. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about patterns, feelings, and behaviors. He uses approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas to guide that conversation.

Mitchell treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. He discusses practical ways to manage symptoms and gradual changes to relationships and daily routines. Therapy plans are shaped with the person in the room rather than imposed.

Appointments begin with a brief assessment of immediate concerns and goals. From there he and the client decide which methods to use and how to pace sessions. He notes that progress often comes from clarifying emotions, shifting unhelpful patterns, and building more reliable ways to cope.
