Jennifer Stull Schied, MSW, LCSW, CEDS

Jennifer is a strengths-based trauma-informed Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She completed her graduate studies in Clinical Social Work at New York University, post-graduate coursework in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) at the Albert Ellis Institute (Manhattan, NY) and Mindfulness Based Stress Management (MBSM) training through the Penn Program for Mindfulness (Philadelphia, PA). She has experience working as a Primary Therapist in both inpatient and outpatient private, non-profit and public healthcare settings and served as a Social Work Supervisor and Su***de Prevention Coordinator for the Veteran population with NJ VA Health Care System. Jennifer provides Clinical Social Work Supervision to eligible NJ LCSW licensure candidates and maintains a private practice with offices in both Basking Ridge and Summit, NJ. Jennifer offers telebehavioral health services within her scope of practice for established clients on an as-needed basis. Jennifer endeavors to cultivate clarity (clear seeing), compassion (for self and others), connection (in the world) and resourcing the body (embodied recovery) in the healing process. She enjoys working collaboratively and believes in an integrative team approach to healing. She offers individualized care and utilizes a variety of therapeutic interventions, strategies and evidence based practices to meet the unique needs of her clients. Treatment is interactive and personalized with input from additional healthcare providers and healers across multiple disciplines to address biological, nutritional, somatic, psychological, social, spiritual and religious concerns as indicated. She invites clients to explore complementary interventions that augment traditional forms of treatment (i.e., aromatherapy/essential oils, mindfulness meditation, forest therapy/the grounding properties of nature, strategic breathing, animal-assisted therapy) to embody overall health and create a genuine sense of well-being.

Marillac Behavioral Health (MBH) offers interactive, personalized and integrative outpatient psychotherapy services for individuals and families. MBH encourages a whole health approach to healing, treatment is collaborative and referrals are available for input from additional healthcare providers and healers across multiple disciplines to address biological, nutritional, somatic, psychological, social, spiritual and religious concerns as indicated.

Potential clients are invited to contact us via email and telephone to have their specific questions answered and schedule face-to-face services in our Basking Ridge and Summit, NJ locations. Telebehavioral health services are also available on a case by case basis for established clients within our scope of practice. MBH does not participate in-network with any insurance providers, and payment is due at the time of service in the form of cash, check and major credit card. MBH utilizes a secure online portal and can electronically submit out-of-network claims through insurance on behalf of clients. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, and MBH encourages potential clients to explore their benefits prior to engaging in treatment. MBH understands and appreciates that treatment is a significant commitment of time and resources, and we are happy to provide assistance and support with understanding the therapeutic process, navigating insurance and answering questions.
