Your safe haven for healing and growth
At Strength to Strength, we understand that life can be challenging. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I, Tracey Rubenstein, have firsthand experience with the difficulties of feeling hurt, lonely, and misunderstood. But I also know the power of support, acceptance, and understanding. This is why I founded Strength to Strength - to provide a safe and nurturing environment for adults to overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma.
My Style of Psychotherapy
At the heart of our therapy approach is a commitment to safety, support, and non-judgmental understanding. We believe that therapy should be a collaborative journey, where you feel heard and accepted. My direct, honest, and gentle style of exploring any issue you're facing creates a sense of trust and security. We offer individual and group therapy sessions, tailored to your unique needs and treatment goals.
My Credentials
With a Master of Social Work degree from Tulane University, I earned my licensure as a clinical social worker in 2001. My undergraduate education was completed at Middlebury College. I'm also certified as a Telemental Health Professional, a Florida Qualified Supervisor for Registered Social Work Interns, and licensed in Florida, Arkansas, and New York.
Experience in Clinical Social Work
My career began serving victims of crime at the New Orleans District Attorney's Office. Before Hurricane Katrina, I was the Coordinator of the YWCA Rape Crisis Program, and after the storm, I transitioned to private practice in Florida in 2010. I've also had the privilege of teaching at the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work at Florida Atlantic University since 2020, while continuing to enjoy my private practice.
My Services
Depression: Feeling sad, blue, or down in the dumps occasionally is normal; however, depression is a deeper and more intense emotional state. It often accompanies irritability, hopelessness, and boredom.
Anxiety: This can be a mixed blessing - motivating us to achieve, but also preventing us from reaching our goals. If anxiety is getting in your way, we offer many options to help you regain control.
Relationship and Family Issues: As a specially trained and experienced therapist, I help individuals build stronger foundations for their relationships with loved ones.
Trauma and PTSD: Unsettling or terrifying events can trigger trauma, leading to uncomfortable symptoms and PTSD. Quick relief is available; let's talk.
