Neil Schiff
LCSW
Therapist
Neil Schiff, LCSW
Neil (Raphael) Schiff is credentialed as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and has been providing psychotherapy sessions for ten years. He graduated from Long Island University with honors and a concentration in addictions. He has worked in several NY/NJ outpatient clinics and top telehealth companies. Neil believes that his greatest teacher is his massive experience. He has been successfully treating individuals challenged by a myriad of mental health issues, stemming from all kinds of backgrounds. The modality he uses depends on each individual, as opposed to “fitting in” a specific modality. He utilizes a wide base of therapeutic interventions, practical strategies, and a hands-on approach.
With his genuine warmth, deep understanding of people, humor, and sincere interest in helping clients explore their inner world, they ultimately feel themselves being back on the path to their true ambitions or self-actualization. Neil has a wife and 7 kids (yes, seven :) and has taught guitar, karate, and acting as well
