Mrs Maria Apuzzo-Okon
Social Worker (Mental Health)
“I am a Clinical Social Worker who specializes in trauma, addiction and mental health. I am LCSW credentialed in NY and CT, CASAC in NY.”
About Me
I help individuals navigate the challenging terrain of trauma, addiction, and mental health with compassionate support. My approach offers a safe, focused space where we can explore underlying issues together. We work collaboratively to build practical coping strategies and foster lasting resilience. Clients find me a dedicated guide for addressing these interconnected concerns. This empowers them to move towards greater stability and well-being.
Approach
Specializing in complex trauma and substance-related struggles, I guide clients through steady, focused work that uncovers patterns and builds practical coping tools. Sessions—held in Stamford or by secure online video in English—move at a calm, goal-attuned pace: we explore distressing memories, practice grounding and behavior changes, and agree on brief between-session steps to strengthen gains. People navigating loss, major life shifts, burnout, or long-standing mood and stress challenges often find this structured, collaborative rhythm especially stabilizing.
