Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in 08033

Hello, my name is Connie and I look forward to meeting you. I named my practice "A Full Life Counseling" because I strongly believe in the possibility of living a full and meaningful life, even with the ups and downs it often throws at us. I worked in high schools for 20 years, at the college level for 10, and coached high school sports for many years, so I have lots of experience with adolescents and young adults! I care deeply about helping individuals reach their fullest, most authentic potential and love walking with them on the journey. I also enjoy working with parents of anxious children.

I enjoy working in a way that is both structured, easy-going and warm. Like Ghandi said, "No-one ever understood a truth about themselves unless it is spoken with kindness." It can be painful facing aspects of our lives that we have previously avoided or self-medicated. However, I do what I can to make this safe and to go at your pace instead of mine. Although it takes a lot of courage to come to therapy and talk about these underlying issues, in the long run, there is an equivalent sense of freedom and connection.

Beginning therapy is not an easy decision, and it takes courage to start the process of addressing a life problem or difficulty you may be experiencing. As your therapist, I am committed to working with you in order to help you make positive changes in your life. My hope is that you will leave each session with something more than you had at the beginning of the session- whether this is a new tool, skill, solution to a problem or different perspective. Our work will be actively addressing the challenges you are facing in a caring and comfortable environment.

Do you want to improve your life and relationships? I have been successful in helping families in: navigating trauma, reunification, resolving divorce and conflict via improving communication skills, life skills building in aspergers teens, and increasing stress management skills in all ages. Do you want to improve your ability to manage challenges in your life? Have you been wanting to seek help but have been procrastinating? You can be helped.

I have been practicing for 30+ years, and I am committed to working with you collaboratively, to create a therapeutic environment that is safe and one which recognizes that it takes courage to begin to address one's pain. My training is eclectic, which allows me to find the best way to help you to feel yourself, again, whether that may include cognitive behavioral therapy, insight-oriented, psychodynamic therapy, relaxation/mindfulness training or some other therapeutic path to personal change.

Are you noticing that life is difficult to cope with? Do you want to build self-confidence and feel stronger? Are you fighting to manage cravings and prevent addiction relapse? Do you want help with staying motivated? Are you exploring how to incorporate your spirituality to better cope with life's trials? Are you in need of building your own safe space to be both vulnerable and strong? Do you have past hurts you desire to further heal? Together, we will work on addressing what is most important to you in a relaxed, non-judgmental, and confidential therapeutic relationship.

My goal in treatment is to help individuals find more effective ways to live healthier, happier, and more successful lives. What this looks like for each client depends on individualized treatment goals. Among my specialties is the treatment of anxiety and depression. I successfully help parents shift their children's behaviors from problematic to more cooperative and positive. I also specialize in trauma recovery, treating victims of childhood abuse, major accidents, rape, domestic violence, community violence, other crimes etc. In addition, I also work with issues related to adoption, the death of a loved one, divorce, etc.

You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf" according to mindfulness expert, author, and MD, Jon Kabat-Zinn. Are you feeling overwhelmed by the "waves", that life changes present? Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression? You want to be free from debilitating sadness, lack of energy, constant worry, sleeplessness and more. You have a life to live, for yourself and your loved ones. You want to be able to accept change. You want to get your life back. I can help you find your way. I provide the map. You're in the driver's seat and choose the route that's right for you. We work together.

Has the residue of trauma impacted your relationship, causing a lack of emotional intimacy, decreased sexual affection, depression, or anxiety? Is conflict a result of sexual dysfunction? Whether you have a history of sexual trauma, need to balance home and work life, attempting affair recovery, healing from a toxic relationship, or navigating a medical diagnosis, you can mend emotional wounds, build a new foundation, and heal trauma. Regardless of your relationship experiences, you can learn tools to weather any storm. My clinical and PhD professor experience prepared me to provide public and faith based leaders expert care.

Life can feel so overwhelming at times! Sometimes it's difficult to cope with everything happening all at once. Sometimes it's difficult to cope with things that happened in our past. Sometimes we're feeling burnt out and we don't know why. My goal is to help you work through heavy things, manage your stress/emotions/feelings, and learn tools to cope. Today's stress and past heaviness can affect our lives in different ways. We can help you work towards finding a better balance of Emotional Wellness.

My work as a therapist is to help people who are struggling with the full range of psychological issues (including anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic health issues (e.g., Long COVID, chronic pain), substance use, panic, social anxiety, and adjustment issues) find satisfaction, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives. I have found that a therapeutic relationship built on warmth, empathy, and genuine respect provides the foundation for healing and change in therapy. This approach to therapy generates long-term improvements for people suffering from the broad spectrum of painful human emotions and challenges.

My ideal client is actively contemplating making changes in their life. They are prepared to discuss, explore, and process their trauma history and to find meaning in their experiences. They are able to work towards identifying how they would like to see their quality of life change (for example, reduce and better manage anxiety) and are prepared to take the necessary steps to do so. Additionally, the client can tolerate being challenged when their thinking or behaviors are inconsistent with their goals.

We examine and re-frame your emotional reactions to current and past trauma. The relationship between therapist and client is really important for change; and I do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere.
