Emily Grossman, M.A., Founder

After several years of work in a middle school classroom, Emily began to see a need for specific, yet unorthodox services for her special needs children.  It was apparent that there were not enough supports in place for students with mental health disorders. 

As a Consumer in recovery, Emily felt a desire to help others who were struggling with these disorders, especially the youth.  Her passion for encouraging younger Consumers to acheive their goals can be seen in the results that she has provided to her clients. 

Emily is currently a Recovery Specialist for a community mental health agency in Bergen County, NJ.  Her main responsibility is to work with clients and help them develop coping skills to aid them in their recovery from their mental illness.  Additionally, Emily is working with the Mental Health Association of New Jersey to receive a Community Mental Health Assistant Certificate.  Provided through a nationally recognized program called Consumer Connections, Emily has been training with other consumers in recovery to work with those who are struggling with mental illness. 

Emily received her training in education from Columbia University, where she earned a Masters in Education.  She has a Bachelors in English from Rutgers University.  Prior to her work in the classroom, she was an Assistant Director for two nationally recognized tutoring agencies.  While Emily brings years of experience to each child that she works with, more importantly, she also brings her heart.
