As a Rutgers University graduate and licensed clinical social worker, Troy brings decades of clinical experience, professional leadership, and genuine compassion to his work with individuals, couples, and families.

His approach is individualized to each person's needs, strengths, goals, and circumstances.
Troy draws from a broad range of evidence-based and integrative approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, Exposure Response Prevention, Trauma Focused (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.
