Hilary Parente, LCSW

My psychotherapy practice provides psychological counseling to individuals experiencing depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. As a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over twenty years, my goal is to help clients gain confidence, cope with stressors that impact their daily functioning, and help formulate solutions to achieve personal goals. I follow a cognitive behavioral therapy approach in helping clients feel empowered and achieve optimal wellness. I am also a Certified Dementia Practitioner. I have experience in conducting mini mental status exams and work with seniors who have cognitive impairments. I also provide counseling to the families who need coping strategies to handle a loved ones symptoms and diagnosis. In addition, I provide psychiatric clearances for those clients seeking bariatric surgery. Postoperative, I assist clients with any psychological adjustments including body image issues, family and/or relationship problems and relapse issues.
