Madeline Salerno, LCSW,
Perinatal & Young Adult Therapist in Jersey City
Life can often feel outwardly stable while internally feeling uncertain, overwhelming, or emotionally noisy. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, perfectionism, or difficulty making decisions that feel aligned. Together, we slow things down and create space to better understand what is happening beneath the surface so you can move forward with more clarity and intention.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I focus on helping you build insight into your emotional and behavioral patterns while also developing practical tools you can use in your daily life to feel more regulated, grounded, and confident.
Evidence-Based and Experiential Work
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with mindfulness-based strategies, somatic awareness, and narrative approaches. This allows us to work both with present-day challenges and the deeper patterns that shape how you think, feel, and respond in relationships and life transitions.
A Collaborative and Supportive Space
Therapy with me is active and engaged. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported, while also being gently encouraged to notice patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and try new ways of responding. The goal is not just understanding yourself, but creating meaningful and lasting change in how you move through your life.
My Experience and Training
I have a particular interest and extensive training in supporting clients through anxiety, depression, social anxiety, codependency, perfectionism, self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I am trained with the Postpartum International to work with clients navigating postpartum adjustment, infertility, adoption-related experiences, and the emotional complexities of motherhood and identity shifts.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. In our work together, we focus on slowing things down, identifying patterns, and building tools that help you feel more grounded and in control. I balance warmth and support with directness, helping you both feel held and challenged in ways that support real change.

​Life often presents unexpected twists and turns, whether you're moving through adolescence, adjusting to adulthood, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, or managing the complexities of relationships and parenthood. My goal is to offer a supportive, empathetic space where you can better understand what you're going through and feel more equipped to move forward. Together, we can work toward greater emotional well-being, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I focus on helping you better understand your internal experience, build emotional resilience, and develop practical tools you can use in your daily life.
Evidence-Based and Experiential Work
I integrate modalities such as Gottman Couple's Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR. This allows us to work both on present-day challenges and deeper patterns shaped by past experiences.
A Collaborative and Supportive Space
Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and also gently challenged when needed. My goal is not just insight, but meaningful, lasting change.
