Hi! My name is Aliza Reinstein, and I am a dedicated graduate student, currently serving as a therapy intern at Hopeful Core Therapy under the supervision of Rose Bleiweis, LCSW-C.

I am focused on providing compassionate and effective support to individuals facing personal challenges and fostering resilience with an enthusiasm for mental health and commitment to evidence-based practices.

I currently provide individual and group therapy to children ages 4-14, adolescents ages 14-18, and adults ages 18-65. I utilize creative therapy techniques to engage with clients who prefer the use of art, play, or other interactive therapies. I also utilize talk-therapy and work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy lense.

I am a Master of Social Work Candidate at the University of Maryland School of Social Work with a Clinical Concentration. My academic journey includes hands-on training in therapeutic techniques and psychological assessment. In 2023, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychological Science with Honors from Colgate University, where I conducted research focusing on self-perceptions of peer relationships and community engagement in individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. My interests include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and behavioral interventions, and I am enthusiastic about incorporating evidence-based practices into my work with clients.

Through my experience working with children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disabilities, I have honed my skills in both individual and group therapy settings. My research and clinical practice background has equipped me to engage with diverse populations and advocate for mental health awareness, neurodiversity affirming care, and social inclusion. I am dedicated to creating a warm and supportive environment for my clients. I strive to build strong therapeutic alliances and develop personalized treatment plans that align with each person’s unique needs and goals.

I am eager to continue my professional growth and contribute to positively impacting the lives and well-being of my clients. My dedication to creating meaningful change and continuous professional development make me a valuable therapist.

 I enjoy working with:

• Children
• Teen/School issues
• Neurodivergence
• Friendship and relationship issues
• Anxiety
• ADHD
