LaDeana Artis

LaDeana Artis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New Jersey with 13 years of experience providing therapy. She has worked with a wide range of individuals and families facing diverse symptoms, stressors, and life challenges.

Her clinical work focuses on trauma and abuse, neglect, abandonment and attachment difficulties, personality disorders, emotional dysregulation, anxiety and depression, family conflict, perinatal mental health concerns, and relationship or marital issues. She also addresses stress, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

LaDeana’s approach is grounded in meeting people where they are, favoring a person-centered, humanistic stance that adapts to the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family. She integrates a range of therapeutic methods when appropriate - including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), interpersonal therapy, trauma-informed care, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), structural family therapy, and motivational interviewing - to create interventions tailored to each client’s goals.

LaDeana believes that recognizing a desire for change is the essential first step toward healing. She respects the courage it takes to be vulnerable in therapy and is prepared to support clients who are ready to begin a process of introspection and positive change. She looks forward to working with those ready to do that work.
