Faith Dressel, MA, LAC

Licensed Associate Counselor & Neurofeedback Clinician

Faith holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montclair State University and is a provisionally licensed counselor (Licensed Associate Counselor) in the state of New Jersey. She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from Wilkes University, where her passion for neurofeedback first took root at the university’s NeuroTraining and Research Center.

Faith began working in the neurofeedback field in 2017 and has developed a strong foundation in its clinical application over the years. For the past two years, she served as a neurofeedback technician and program coordinator, working under the mentorship of Dr. Goldberg and Leanne Hershkowitz. During this time, she honed her skills in neurofeedback and developed a deep understanding of the Attuned Arousal Model, which she now integrates into her clinical work.

Now practicing as a clinician, Faith continues to bring her neurofeedback expertise into the therapeutic space. Through a NeuroRelational Framework, she integrates research from attachment theory, somatic therapies, and neuroscience. This approach offers clients a grounded, trauma-informed path to healing that supports both emotional regulation and nervous system resilience. Known for her warmth and relational style, Faith creates a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered in their growth.

Faith is deeply committed to lifelong learning and the thoughtful integration of emerging clinical insights. She remains passionate about exploring the intersections of brain, body, and relationship in the healing process. Her dedication to compassionate, evidence-informed care makes her a trusted and valued presence in the mental health community and at ANPNJ.

Outside the Office: Faith is a musician, enjoys all art forms, and loves spending time in nature.
