LaMarvin Bell, LPC

It has been my life’s goal to change the idea that you can't help a client if he or she is not ready.

 

I received my Master’s degree from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC), a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC), and a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) located in New Jersey with over 20 years of direct counseling and therapeutic experience with individuals of all ages and families.  

 

I have worked in a variety of counseling modalities including residential treatment,Therapeutic Communities (TC), Methadone clinics, and as an IIC providing in-home therapy and outpatient treatment. I also worked with Passaic County Drug Court which equipped me to interact with a diverse population of adolescents and adults entangled with the criminal justice system.

 

I am excited to be working with FSCS, providing services to the youth at the Al Moody Academy.

Director de salud conductual

Este es mi octavo año en los centros de salud y creo que hemos creado un gran programa que puede ayudar a los estudiantes de nuestras escuelas de forma individual, con sus familias y en grupos. Soy un Trabajador Social Clínico Licenciado y durante los últimos 25 años de práctica, he trabajado en sistemas escolares, Centros de Salud Mental para Pacientes Ambulatorios y práctica privada. Comencé mi formación en el Yale Child Study Center, he trabajado en equipos de Child Study en dos escuelas. He sido Psicoterapeuta de Grupo Certificado por más de 10 años y aplico este conocimiento a nuestros grupos aquí en el Centro de Salud. También tengo el placer de supervisar a estudiantes de posgrado en prácticas de nivel de maestría en nuestro programa que representa a la Universidad de Columbia, Fordham, Ramapo College y la Universidad de Rutgers y este año a la Universidad de Nueva York.

JFK High School 

PS 10

​​​

I received my Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University and started my career as a clinician at a residential school in New York, while at the same time starting a private practice. As my family grew, I made the decision to continue my figure skating career and competitively coached individuals and teams for the next 30 years. Along the way, while raising my children, I have continued a life-long passion for learning through holistic modalities, including obtaining my health coach certification and becoming a certified Reiki practitioner.

​

I decided to hang up my skates and return to the profession that I loved. Having raised three children to adulthood I am beyond excited to work with your children through the FSCS Health Center. I’m thrilled to bring my years of experience as a mom, coach and licensed social worker to foster an open, empathetic and trusting therapeutic relationship. My intention is to create a space where your child can build confidence, thrive and grow in their school environment.

​

This year I will be working at PS #10 and the Paterson JFK High School. I am so grateful for this opportunity and humbled to be a part of this vital team.

Hello! My name is Ricky Rivera and I am a Licensed Social Worker in New Jersey. I earned my Master’s degree in social work from Rutgers University and had the opportunity to intern with FSCS during the 2023-2024 school year.

 

My experience spans working with children, teens, and adults across community settings, school-based programs, and the justice system. I take a non-judgmental approach, utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. I am excited to continue my work this school year at PS #22 in Jersey City. I look forward to making a positive impact in our school!
