Kaylee Andrusier, LMSW, is a licensed master of social work, currently working towards obtaining an additional clinical license. She received her Master’s Degree in social work from Yeshiva University’s Wurzweiler school of social work and obtained a bachelors degree in psychology from Concordia college. While receiving her BA, she was involved in community outreach work providing necessary programming for women, teenagers, and children. When she moved on to New York to work on her masters degree, she spent her first year internship at Lower East Side Service Center’s Su Casa which is a residential opioid treatment center. At that time she provided individual and group therapy to those struggling with substance use and fostered relationships with her clients which became a catalyst for their growth and eventual rehabilitation. Kaylee went on to her second year internship at NYU Langone Medical Center’s oncology department where she assisted in complex discharge planning as well as assessed psychosocial complexities for those struggling with severe medical issues with poor prognosis. Kaylee assisted both the patients and their families through the most challenging times in their life and played the role as an advocate for them with their medical team. Once she completed both internships and received licensure, Kaylee went on to work at a group private practice called Point Clarity services LLC where she maintains a caseload of clients with a range of different backgrounds and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and day to day discontentment. While maintaining this position, she went on to Kings County Hospital’s inpatient psychiatric facility where she served as a social worker on the adult inpatient unit. At this time, Kaylee provides psychosocial assessments, collaborates with the psychiatrists and unit staff to coordinate care, performs family meeting and individual therapy with patients and their identified loved ones.
