Female Therapists in 07009

I am a dedicated and passionate therapist who is invested in helping my clients. My warm and caring demeanor is combined with open and honest feedback, which allows for the processing of thoughts and emotions in a safe, nonjudgmental and validating environment. I consider you to be the expert of your life and I serve as a collaborator and supportive guide in your personal and unique journey. My approach to therapy stems from the importance of increasing self-awareness, identifying unhealthy patterns, and developing an understanding of what is holding you back from achieving happiness, positive self-esteem, and success.

If you have experienced a loss, transition, relationship conflicts, parent-child dilemmas, depression, anxiety or another struggle which has left you feeling alone, sad, confused or even angry, I am here to help. Stability, loving relationships, proactive achievements and empathic parenting are all goals we can achieve together.

The therapeutic relationship is one of the most important relationships we create. I believe that all individuals can effect change in their lives, and that my role as therapist is to empower my clients to lead more fulfilling and happier lives. Through a collaborative relationship, I help my clients envision the lives they want to lead and reach their goals in a safe, compassionate and supportive environment. I specialize in helping clients move through life transitions such as marriage, separation/divorce, changing lifestyles and family structures, illness, relationship conflict, career changes, retirement and grief and loss.

Are you going through difficult times? I am here to help you get through it, to help you live the life you desire. Seeking help is a sign of strength and the first step to recovery. Change is the one constant thing in life and also one of the hardest to cope with. We all need support along the way. Together we can discover solutions to help you gain control over your life along with your emotional well-being. Remember, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Are you finding lifes challenges difficult? Transitions can be stressful and difficult to manage. I will provide a supportive and empathetic environment to help you achieve emotional well being and reach your goals.

I have been a Healthcare Professional since I graduated from NYU and achieved a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. Today I have a comprehensive Counseling Practice where I work with co-occurring clients that suffer from mental health issues as well as substance abuse issues. I provide mental heath counseling for adolescents, adults, couples and families. Individual sessions and Out patient groups are provided. I also focus on anxiety, depression, family dysfunction, PTSD, grief and loss, divorce mediation and relational issues. A Cognitive Behavioral Approach is used to help our clientele manage and understand how they think, feel and consequently behave.

Congratulations on taking the first step on your therapy journey! If you're feeling "stuck" and wanting something to change or need support working through life's difficulties, I can help be a guide. I often work with clients who experience high stress (job, caregiving, academic, parenting), unhelpful thoughts, and coping through transitions (medical illness, loss). Together, we'll dedicate time to unravel your thoughts, emotions and experiences so that you can find the best version of yourself. In therapy, you can expect an empathic, safe, non-judgmental environment focused on you and your goals.

Are you struggling and experiencing sadness, anxiousness and/or stress from day to day? As life and certain relationships can be challenging, we may find ourselves wondering what to do in order to stop the unwanted stress. For those who are parents with a struggling child or adolescent, do you feel like you’ve tried everything to help and instead feel stuck? Fear of the unknown prevents many individuals from reaching out and finding the right professional that is a suitable match to support healthy change. Challenges are real and there is help.

Do you find that you're having difficulty adjusting to new circumstances? Maybe you're feeling anxious or depressed about life stressors such as work and/or school. Perhaps you want some assistance in navigating the relationships in your life. Most of us have been there at some point in our lives. How you experience your world and cope with your feelings influences every part of you. We each deserve a safe place to share these experiences, learn to cope with these feelings, and feel empowered to make a change. I strive to provide a nurturing, non-judgmental environment in which you feel supported to do just that.

Listening to the narrative of every person's life is fascinating to me. I am empathic, interactive and am a firm believer that good therapy brings results that make people feel more comfortable, empowered, and gives you the strength that is needed to grow. Therapy begins with identifying destructive themes that repeatedly arise, and interfere with one's life. I believe that therapy should be transformative, and provide a healing experience. I am particularly skilled in working with panic disorder/, depression, divorce conflict, and trauma, including sexual abuse.

Life can sometimes be overwhelming, full of surprises, and stressful. We may wonder how to face these struggles, experiences of sadness or anxiety, or difficulties in relationships. Often we can find ourselves feeling this way after changes in our family, the loss of a job or retirement, or the death of a loved one. There are times when we all need extra support to make it through the challenges we are facing. Therapy can help empower us to recognize inner strengths, develop effective coping skills, and enable personal growth.

My work is dedicated to helping you embrace who you are in order to live a fulfilling and balanced life. I focus on developing your ability to understand the powerful connection between your mind and body. This insight facilitates a path toward healing from current and past challenges. During the course of our work, I will help you develop your "Emotional Intelligence" (understanding of what motivates feelings and actions) and acquire the tools needed to overcome barriers blocking growth and change. Once you gain these coping skills, you will find yourself open to loving relationships, living in the present and creating a more fulfilling life.

ACCEPTING that we sometimes need help with life's challenges can be both difficult and overwhelming. My goal is to make GETTING that help easy by creating a safe, non-judgmental counseling environment. My counseling approach is supportive and empathic, while emphasizing self-awareness, empowerment and the ability to change.

About Me: I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), and an Accredited Clinical Supervisor in NJ with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, families, and couples. My work over the years, particularly with people struggling with addiction, has demonstrated how physical and emotional trauma can affect our well-being and how a holistic approach can offer long-lasting healing and transformation.

I’m a goal-activating expert at helping people let go of emotional baggage and start living the life of their dreams. My priority in session is to make sure you get what you need out of the experience. Period. How do I do that? By providing a judgement free space to openly discuss and explore your “stuff.” And yes, we all have it! This “stuff” includes stress, anxiety, and other emotional roadblocks that are disrupting your life. I will help you identify faulty thinking patterns, confront your fears, and retrain your brain. This process is so powerful and transformative that it almost seems like a short-cut to achieving goals.

Every day we make choices, big and small. In doing so, we create our ever-unfolding life story. I work with my clients to better understand what their unique "storyline" has been about; how their "script" originally got written; and how their present life challenges can be opportunities for discovering hidden strengths. These strengths are very important, as they will serve my clients in their next life chapter.

Thank you for your interest in working with me. My passion is helping others with the belief that whatever you are facing, you are not alone. I provide a comfortable, safe and supportive environment. Approaches are based on the nature of the presenting complaint(s) as well as the inclination of the client. My intent is to help address issues that negatively affect every day functioning and promote awareness about oneself and circumstances. Specializing in early intervention and youth psychotherapy. My background consists of working with a variety of populations and issues.

If addiction has taken over your life, now is the time to do something about it. Life is too short to be unhappy. I offer a warm, confidential environment to help you find the clarity you need to break the cycle of addiction so you and those around you may lead happier lives. I also offer help for co-occurring issues: mood regulation, anxiety, anger management, trauma, and high functioning autism. I am trained in EMDR, Mindfulness Practices and Stress Reduction. In addition, I frequently work in consultation with other therapists' clients, providing EMDR and substance abuse assessments and treatment.

I offer a holistic approach to personal growth, infusing my Western psychology background from my NYU Mental Health Masters with Eastern philosophies, like Buddhist mindfulness, astrology and human design. I assist clients in deep self-understanding and navigating life's hurdles, leading them towards significant breakthroughs and transformative paths in challenging areas of their lives.
