Jennifer M. Haus

I am a licensed clinical social worker with special interests in the following areas:

- substance abuse and addiction

- anxiety and depression

- chronic pain, cancer and grief

- wellness and mind-body therapy

Why did I became a therapist?

My own personal struggles, including surviving cancer(@age 19 and age 59), dealing with substance abuse, and overcoming depression, led me to seek help for the emotional pain I was feeling. The experience of working with a skilled and caring professional psychotherapist made me want to do the same for others. Thus, began my journey to become a licensed clinical social worker.

After getting my master's in social work from NYU school of social work in 2002, I began working in the field. I have worked in different places like hospitals and clinics in NYC, and eventually started a successful private practice with two different locations in the NYC area. Today, I am fully remote.​​​​​​​

My approach to working with clients is based on honesty, safety and respect. Therapy is a mutual relationship between the client and professional practitioner. In my virtual office, problems and issues are discussed in a respectful and non-judgmental way with the goal of finding healthy coping techniques and beneficial outcomes.

I have a solid understanding of addiction and substance abuse. I utilize the treatments of harm reduction, moderation management and abstinence approaches, include 12 steps.

My wellness training enables me to teach individuals how to lower stress and chronic pain through guided imagery, hypnosis and meditation.
