Therapists in 08055

Welcome! My name is Dr. Alison Hoyt. I often say, most people do not go skipping with joy to talk about some of the hardest things they carry in life. I respect and value how hard change can be, and even talking about change with a stranger that you do not yet really know! It is my goal and joy to create a safe and supportive place to work through goals in therapy. I view therapy as a toolbox -one in which we will work together to learn tools to help you achieve the goals you set in therapy. Part of therapy will be learning how everyone’s mind is unique to them and understanding how your mind can be a very valuable tool.

Welcome to Peaceful Practices! Hi, I am Steve and I believe good counseling is a collaboration between you and your therapist. It offers an opportunity to get real about what you want and figure out what may be standing in the way. My goal as a helper is to guide you from feeling stymied in your life to experiencing a sense of balance that can help you best discern what is worth keeping and what you may need to let go of to gain greater control over your life. Letting go of negative emotions, anger, anxiety, and trauma connects you to the wisdom and strength within you needed to create a happier and more purposeful life.

I’ve fit into a listener role even from a young age, always finding myself listening to others’ stories and experiences. Having this interest led me to pursue my degree in Clinical Counseling and I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have spent the past several years working with individuals from all walks of life who struggle with depression, anxiety, impulsivity, life transitions, and emotion regulation.

I provide treatment for a range of concerns, from depression and anxiety, to family conflict and parenting difficulties. My goal is to work with clients in times of distress to make changes in their lives that will leave them feeling happier and healthier.

I am a practicing therapist with over 30 years of experience in the field of Vision Therapy which was founded by John Powell, S.J. In essence, I help clients discover their underlying negative attitudes which contribute directly to their emotional/psychological disorders and feelings of insecurity, guilt, and anxiety.

Life can be difficult and most of us are doing the best that we can given our circumstances. Sometimes, things become too stressful and the need arises to seek help outside of ourselves. Taking the first step can be scary, but it also shows a level of courage. Ironically, the solutions we may be looking for reside within us- we just need a little help to discover them. With 26 years experience as a social worker, I have worked with women and teens of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. I am also able to communicate in Spanish.

Hello, my name is Danielle and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey. My number one priority is to facilitate a non-judgemental environment where all of my clients feel safe, heard, and validated throughout the therapy process.

I am a NJ Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a NJ Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work, and Director of Community Counseling Service of South Jersey LLC. Primarily a psychotherapeutic counselor for the last 25 years, I am also a published author, present personal growth workshops, lecture at conferences, and conduct professional supervision for my colleagues.

I believe that the therapeutic process is a valuable vehicle for positive change in a client's life. I help children, adolescents and adults find relief from depression, anxiety, and anger and develop coping skills to deal with the many stressors that life presents.

LaToya Pegram is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Art Therapist (LPAT) and Board-Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) in the State of New Jersey. As an experienced therapist, driven by William James’ words, “the great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." I take pride in using a person-centered approach to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for couples, adults, and children to process life circumstances confidentiality in therapy.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey. I received a Master of Arts from Montclair State University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been working as a bilingual Spanish-speaking mental health therapist for 8 years. I have experience in helping clients with challenges such as trauma, cultural issues, depression, anxiety and adjustment.

Are you seeking a happier life? Sometimes we realize that our way of handling challenges is just not working. Major loss or life changes are hard. For some of us, the disconnection we experience with loved ones actually prevents us from feeling loved. Maybe you are a parent with a child that struggles, and you’re just not sure what else to do. Therapy can help with personal and relationship challenges. Therapy can give you the tools and strategies to help you live the life you want and and the life you deserve.

I am primarily a female-focused therapist working with adolescent, teen and adult females in the state of New Jersey, through virtual sessions. I use a humanistic approach to therapy where I treat every patient the way I would my own friends and family - with a healthy dose of humor and rapport :) I believe our relationship is key to the therapeutic process. My speciality is in anxiety, depression and PTSD. With my person-centered approach, I use a mix of modalities tailored specifically to each individual's needs and goals. I combine my education, along with nine years experience, to best treat each individual.

We can all agree close loving relationships are complicated. Do any of these concerns sound familiar to you? "We are considering living together and getting married, but we have a lot of apprehensions." "We are at our wit's end. We fight constantly. There is never any resolution." "Sometimes I feel like I married my mother or father." "I get flashbacks of the affair. I am triggered by everything." "We feel like roommates, like ships passing in the night." "We are tired of trying to please each other and failing." "I want to feel like I matter to my partner. I am always last behind work, extended family, and friends."

Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, struggling with infertility, recently experienced a loss or trauma, are adjusting to motherhood and parenting or experiencing general women’s issues - you are deserving of a safe space to explore your experiences and emotions.

I believe each client is unique and requires an individualized treatment plan based on their strengths, and needs. I subscribe to a holistic approach to treatment and work collaboratively with other wellness professionals to optimize recovery. Clients are partners in the recovery process and as such I empower them to draw on their strengths as a path to wellness. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and self-psychology primarily as modalities of treatment.
