Self Esteem Therapists in 08096

A time comes in everyone's life when we need to do some growth & healing work. Thankfully the ability to grow & heal is built into our human-nature, a nature that comes alive when we receive the support we need. Therapy is for receiving this support, and in a way that fits with you.
 Throughout my life, along with my broad training and experience as a therapist, I've experienced my own, and have guided others in finding their ability to overcome what's happening 'right now', no matter what happened 'back then’, and no matter what concerns there are about the future.

Hi there! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist with several years in the field, I work with Adults experiencing depression, anxiety, low self esteem, life adjustments, and more. Majority of my work has been spent centering the needs and care of Black and Brown identified individuals from underserved and marginalized communities. As a Black Therapist with a shared experience I can resonate with the frustration of not being able to show up authentically. Which is why it's important to hold space for folk to do just that. You belong and you deserve to take up space. LGBTQIA+ allied. Glad you stopped by!

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor committed to helping individuals overcome challenges and thrive in their lives. With a deep understanding of human behavior and emotions, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, empowering them to make positive changes and cultivate greater mental well-being. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, tailored to meet each individual's unique needs and goals. I believe in creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and and experiences openly.

My mission is to consistently provide quality mental health counseling that is based in scientific research, tailored to your individual needs, and conducted in a spirit of collaboration between us. I have specialized training in anxiety treatment, mindfulness interventions, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Family Therapy & Consultation Services provides individual therapy, family therapy, marriage counseling, art therapy and medication management at our NJ offices in Woodbury, Audubon, & Moorestown. Our mission is to strengthen individuals and families to be full participants in the solution of problems that can be the result of family and community disruption, mental health issues, or life challenges. Our therapists can help assist youth, adults, couples, and families utilize their strengths to overcome emotional and behavioral challenges and allow participants to lead successful lives in their homes, schools, work, and communities.

There are many difficult experiences in life--a painful loss, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, stress, divorce, parenting challenges, gender identity, sexuality, etc.--that require us to seek help and guidance. Whether you are dealing with a crisis, a long-term struggle, or a desire to grow and become your best self, I am trained to guide clients to make positive changes and begin to feel better.

**In-person and teletherapy sessions offered** When feeling the need for help emotionally, reaching out for support can be very difficult. This is why my main objective in working with clients is to make them feel comfortable and understood. Often times, we deal with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, health issues, etc. without much emotional support, which is ironically when it feels we need it most. My therapy techniques take a collaborative, holistic approach so that I can understand my client and provide them with measurable, long-lasting change for an improved overall state of well-being.

In-Person: Woodbury, NJ; Telehealth: NJ, PA, NY, DE. Couple & Family Therapist. The right fit and connection with your therapist is key. Perhaps...Your relationships may not not be what they once were or what you had hoped they would be...Your sense of future is burdened by past trauma or shame...You are tired of making the same mistakes and hurting yourself and the people you love...Your relationship is in a crisis or trying to recover from an affair...You are trying to find your way as a parent...You feel like an imposter as a professional...Or, you simply need an objective "witness" to your life and struggles.

Most of my clients are people who have lost sight of how awesome they actually are whether that be due to some sort of trauma, a bad or unfulfilling relationship, a chronic illness, or a mental health disorder. They are people looking to make sense of their realities and to learn how to manage them. My clients are mostly adolescents and adults, but I will see children who are capable of handling the telehealth format.

Do things feel confusing, overwhelming, or uncertain? Does the current season you are walking through feel lonely or isolating? Support is more important now, than ever. You do not have to journey forward alone. Your personal struggles are private, intimate, and personal---so a safe, warm, healing space and a therapist that you can create a comfortable and trusting relationship with is of the utmost importance to me. My goal is to help my clients find healing, restore peace and hope, and fully thrive in creating the type of life they both want and deserve to live.

Life is full of things that can make us feel completely out of control: anxiety, depression, difficult family dynamics, school, work, peer conflicts, fights with partners, and much more. Often we find ourselves pushing these problems away or letting them consume us. What can we do to help take more control over our lives? You may want to talk it out to find where your feelings are coming from. You may wish to find skills to help you make it through the day to day. You may want to work on changing your thought patterns and how you approach these obstacles. Or you may just need to release these feelings and and a place to be heard.

Hi! I am Andrea, your friendly neighborhood therapist! As a therapist who has a therapist, I understand the importance of connectivity and having a safe outlet. With my affirming approach to treatment, we can address your concerns, set goals and crush them together.

“You can’t see inside someone’s heart unless you ask.” These words resonate with me and are the foundation of my practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I pride myself on being the therapist that questions you to work through your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Seeking to understand begins by asking the questions that influence an open and pure conversation that leads to connection and healing. Through dialogue, psycho-education, and uncovering, you can forge a stronger relationship with yourself, which is the most important one you will ever have. You can find relief from trauma,depression, anxiety, PTSD & loneliness.

I work with people in all stages of life, including children, adolescents and adults who want to improve their mental wellness and increase their understanding of coping skills to assist in managing their mental illness.

Whatever feelings or difficulty you are experiencing that that have brought you to your current standing position, I hope to help you to gain insight to the following: relationship dynamics, gain more effective communication tools, conflict identification/management, gain accountability, explore areas of vulnerability, clarify expectations, identify triggers, enhance decision making process and problem solving skills. The process will not be linear but the journey will provide you with skills, connections and inner growth.

Having a safe place of support and connection to unload burdens goes a long way. It is exhausting to explore more about yourself, others, and your world when you are not feeling heard unconditionally. I am here to walk with you in a judgement-free, yet honest journey toward emotional safety. I am here whether you face anxiety, hard relationships, stress, or family tension.

My extensive training and own life experiences make me feel passionate about helping others. I am trained in different approaches and I tailor treatment to your present needs, in an eclectic, individualized and non-judgmental way. I think empathy and trust is crucial to a therapeutic relationship. I am experienced with all ages from childhood to geriatrics. I would love to help you by listening and guiding you through the therapeutic process.

Here are two things I think are important about therapy: 1) People can find relief for symptoms like worry, loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, and craving; and 2) People can build psychological strength. Psychological strength allows people to have more fulfilling relationships, use their capacities more effectively, and bring more flexibility and creativity to problems in living.
