Tina Rochester, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Long Island, NY | In-Person and Virtual Therapy

I help individuals, couples, and families find clarity, healing, and
balance during life’s toughest moments.

Tina Rochester, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience
supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. She earned her Master’s in Social Work from Stony Brook University in New York and has extensive training in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodivergence, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder and Complex PTSD. Tina works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, trauma, substance use, grief, and life transitions. She also provides guidance for relationship challenges through couples counseling, family therapy, and group counseling.

Tina’s therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. She draws from multiple theories—including Jungian, psychoanalytic, person-centered, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives—and integrates evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, somatic work, trauma-informed care, and attachment-based interventions. Her experience working with both couples and families allows her to help clients strengthen communication, deepen connection, and create lasting change in their relationships.

Clients often describe Tina as approachable, authentic, and compassionate. She believes
healing begins within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship—one where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Tina’s goal is to help each client connect with their inner guidance, develop tools for growth, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. She understands that finding the right therapist is a deeply personal process and encourages clients to trust themselves in choosing the path that feels like the best fit.
