Sandra Trzanowski-Gawley, LCSW

NJ | NY LCSW-_Do the same relationship patterns keep repeating, even when you try to do everything “right”? You may feel easily triggered, disconnected, or stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break. My approach is to create safety, clarity, and lasting emotional change. Therapy doesn’t have to be just talking, it can help your nervous system from trauma/stresses heal, too. I specialize in EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I work with adults and couples who are in search of a deeper connection, lasting change especially those impacted by trauma, infidelity, betrayal, attachment wounds, anxiety, and relationship distress. As a certified EMDR therapist and a trained EFT therapist my approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. EMDR helps process painful experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming in the present, while EFT focuses on understanding emotional needs while creating more secure, meaningful connections—with yourself and others. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and respectful of your lived experience. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning with a clearer sense of what you want, I aim to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to heal.
