			Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Family/Marital Therapist
	I see individuals, couples and families. I believe we all hit bumps in the road of life and react to stresses: at times we need a few sessions to get back on track, or others may need a longer time to complete their treatment. Like a family physican I encourage my patients to return for a checkup or further treatment if it is necessary. I can be contacted through email (midisel@bellatlantic.net) or telephone 201 444-5347. Please fee free to ask questions.
