Portrait Health Centers of New Jersey announced today the addition of Lisa Roland-Smolenyak to their clinical team. Portrait Health Centers are multi-specialty clinics that employ the most cutting-edge and proven assessment protocols and treatment options available believing that an Effective Treatment Depends on an Accurate Diagnosis.

Portrait Health Centers of New Jersey located at 117 Highway 35 in Eatontown has welcomed Lisa Roland-Smolenyak to their clinical team. Lisa received her Master’s of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University and holds her license as an Associate Counselor (LAC) while working toward her License in Professional Counseling (LPC), is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and certified in the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Index (SASSI) and Addictive Severity Indexes (ASI).

Lisa was born and raised at the shore. She has seven years working for the District of Long Branch in special education, in grades 1-12 with students who struggle with academically and socially with behavioral, learning, and emotional disorders as well as other commonly diagnosed DSM mental disorders.

Throughout Lisa’s career, she has helped people of all ages with behavioral issues, parenting skills, collaborative problem solving, anger management, ADHD coaching, coping skills, adjustment disorders, depression, grief, loss, divorce,  anxiety OCD, Asperger’s challenges, maladaptive eating behaviors and more.

In addition to traditional methods, Lisa uses creative interventions; art, books, picture prompting, caricatures, game therapy, colors, and sand play to engage clients and encourage an open dialogue. She has seen firsthand the ways art can empower individuals; building confidence they have yet to discover. Lisa suggests that the more one shares, the more likely unresolved issues will surface, become identified and get resolved.  

Lisa believes that by helping clients develop communication skills as well as identify obstacles and feelings, she can work with each client to develop an ‘easy-to-follow’ treatment plan so progress can be made and goals can be achieved.
