LaQuanda Rexach, LCSW

Hello, I'm LaQuanda! With over a decade of experience in social work, I’ve been helping adults and youth overcome mental health and addiction challenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Rutgers University. I hold multiple certifications including Addiction Counselor Training Certificate from Rutgers as well as a Certified Nurtured Heart Approach Practitioner. I have worked in multiple settings including crisis, case management, inpatient psychiatric hospitals conducting intakes, conducting individual therapy as well as group therapy. I've also worked in community hospitals as well as screening centers. I’m a warm, friendly and spiritually grounded person who always makes sure everyone feels heard, seen and valued. When I’m not helping people, you can find me getting in some exercise like long walks, running, or hanging out with my 3 fur babies. 

Specific areas that I focus on include social anxiety, general anxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure, people pleasing, boundary setting, career stressors, self worth building/self esteem building, depression, seasonal affective disorders, anxiety with co-occurring depression, previous substance use and alcohol addictions, BIPOC, LGBTQI+, professional skill building such as time management. 

 I’m a therapist because I know how helpful it can be to talk to someone who understands. I’ve been through my own struggles with anxiety, and I’m so grateful for the support I got when I needed it. Now, I want to help others feel the same way. 

 I enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing because they are powerful tools that help uncover how our deeply rooted thoughts and beliefs influence our emotions, behaviors, and even our physical well-being. These approaches allow me to work collaboratively with clients across all walks of life—whether they're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity struggles, or challenges with self-esteem. Together, we explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical coping strategies. My goal is to support you in making meaningful changes so you can feel empowered, resilient, and aligned with the best version of yourself.
