CLINICAL SUPERVISION AVAILABLE Therapy can help you change and improve your life. A therapist is an unconditional, non-judgemental listener. I am committed to your goals and want to make therapy comfortable and refreshing. I work with a variety of age groups, including children and adolescents, and conduct individual and family sessions. CERTIFIED CLINICAL ANXIETY TREATMENT PROFESSIONAL (CCATP)

As a Licensed Social Worker, my goal is to create a safe and warm environment that will allow you to grow and heal. By creating a space and building a strong relationship between therapist and client, you will feel comfortable in speaking about vulnerable and personable topics. Together, we will work on identifying and navigating emotions, and creating solutions that best serve to achieve your goals to continue on the healing path.

Do you need help coping from the effects of COVID-19? Are fear, anxiety or depression preventing you from enjoying life? Do you feel challenged by the same core issues or self defeating patterns? Do these patterns affect your life in a negative way and you are at a point in your life in which you desire change? You can overcome it and lead a more fulfilling life.

Psychodrama New Jersey is a multi-practitioner office. All practitioners use a combination of modalities to treat conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, dysfunctional relationships patterns, behavioral issues, issues arising from difficult life transitions including health issues, past abuse and trauma. By combining different modalities, our practitioners are able to help you address issues from multiple directions.

In a safe and non-judgemental environment I use art therapy for reflection and insight, to build upon strengths and coping, and to gain understanding into feelings and behaviors. Working together I use art therapy in counseling with those who are seeking to resolve conflicts, healing from loss, trauma and personal growth. I have practiced art therapy in Monmouth and Ocean Counties since 1993 serving groups and individuals dealing with loss, life challenges and transitions, illness and trauma.

Is someone you know struggling with mental health issues, behavioral or emotional difficulties, are you feeling frustrated or overwhelmed? You don't have to do this alone. Jennifer Lawrence, MA, LPC, ATR-BC is a licensed professional counselor, board certified registered art therapist, and certified yoga teacher who has 30 years experience as an educator and therapist. She has supported littles to elders, exploring how to identify barriers to thriving and living an amazing life. Her goals in treatment are experimenting with tools for regulating the body and mind, which then allows one to tap into creative solutions.

Often we experience situations that can cause us to feel overwhelmed and sometimes powerless. Maybe we can't stop thinking about situations in the past or we can't get negative possibilities out of our head. Maybe we are having difficulty feeling heard or find it hard to find a neutral person who listens and understands. Maybe we just need some tools and skills to help manage whatever difficult situation we may be in. Maybe we have tried everything, and it is not working. My approach focuses on how to empower you to create the change you would like to see in your life.

If you are facing challenges in your life and seek growth and relief from anxiety, depression, and other stress related symptoms, our work together can provide you with the necessary tools and a pathway toward the positive changes that you seek. In my work with adult clients, I bring a collaborative and creative coaching style that can catalyze you toward your wellness and joy. Clients come to me seeking assistance in navigating life transitions including: changes in relationships and work, blocks initiating/continuing creative endeavors, improving performance (testing, public speaking, sports) recovering from grief and addictions, and healing from trauma.

Specializing in the treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults, I utilize a strength based approach and creative interventions to connect with each person, child, and/or family in a meaningful way. I have specific training in play therapy and incorporate those techniques as well as other empirically supported modalities into my treatment to produce positive change in a solution oriented style.

Are you or your child overwhelmed with life's stressors? Perhaps you may be experiencing feelings of anxiety or depression and would like to learn to them manage differently. In my practice I offer compassionate mental health counseling services to people of all ages including children as young as 3 years old.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards self improvement for yourself or your child! I often tell my clients, family and friends that therapy is the ultimate gift you can give yourself or your child. Imagine devoting a set time each week in a comfortable and calm environment to focus on yourself. This time is devoted to you and only you. I will ensure that the space is held and that you, or your child, feel safe and supported during this time of healing. With over a decade's worth of experience, I help individuals with challenges stemming from issues such of anxiety, depression, trauma, inattention, and family conflict.

My clients tell me I am easy to talk with because I am calm, patient, interactive, and very compassionate. I know what it is like to be stuck; wanting to change something about yourself or your life and yet not sure how to do it. I think that by reading this, you have already taken the most important step to a better life. I greatly admire your courage and determination to seek help. I am passionate about what I do because I know people CAN change! I have repeatedly witnessed how people do fulfill their potential through our work together.
