Jane Cottier

I graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). EXPERIENCE: My experience includes working with younger populations through Hillside’s Children settings for mental health and behavioral challenges, as well as developmental disabilities through Arc of Monroe. I have worked in both behavioral health and medical settings. I am experienced in helping clients cope with chronic medical conditions, as I helped clients at Fresenius Kidney Care Center decrease depression and anxiety during major life changes and transitions. I have also been a provider for emergency services through Rochester Regional Health’s CPEP in completing suicide risk assessments in the psychiatric ED, as well as mobile crisis. CURRENT: I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as well as other trauma focused therapies. I am working towards my EMDR certification. I really enjoy working with adolescent and adult populations alike. I love to connect with younger clients and help support the development of healthy skills and relationships. I am conscious to build a comforting rapport with my clients that creates a secure space to process and grow through therapy. I blend a person-centered approach with real skills work, including CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed approaches to provide a well-rounded therapeutic experience. My wide range of experience in settings, client demographics, and treatment needs provides me with a strong therapeutic base to help foster the growth that clients need to pursue their greatest potential. I will meet you where you are at in life and walk WITH you on your journey. I genuinely believe (and personally live) in taking life in one day at a time and remember that it is PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION.
