Motivational Interviewing Therapists in 08108

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions; intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand--that even in the most dire circumstances positive change is possible. My philosophy is to provide you with patience; positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions.

I believe that people start to heal the minute they feel heard. I am dedicated to providing an authentic therapeutic relationship to help you work through and heal whatever is causing distress. I will help you process what is keeping you feeling stuck, and together we will explore ways to change. I have experience working with many different populations, and my main interests lie in helping adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, compulsive behaviors, and low self-esteem. My specialty is helping people figure out their values, priorities, and sense of purpose in life.

I have a passion for working with family building (infertility, pregnancy and parenting), chronic illness, and young adults.

I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and innermost experiences. By fostering a collaborative relationship, I aim to empower you to gain insights into your challenges, develop new skills, and process your past in order to feel more grounded in your present and future.

I specialize in working with folks with ADHD and other neurodivergent-types in NJ and PA but also heavily work with anxiety, depression, and issues surrounding activation and assertiveness. So I'm very action-oriented in my approach and that's because I believe when we see and experience change it can help build momentum. People are resilient, creative, and adaptive but sometimes we get stuck. (And when we neurodivergent folks get stuck we get really stuck!) Let's work to build awareness, strategies, and change!

If you find yourself navigating difficult life transitions (work, relationships, loss, etc.) and are seeking to feel more connected with life or to manage these stressors with greater ease and confidence, please reach out. Clients experiencing grief, or who carry heavy worries or painful recollections of the past may find solace in individual sessions where we will identify the distress and make a plan for moving forward. You don't need to have specific symptoms to "deserve" therapy; we all deserve more peace. Catherine works primarily with adults in individual sessions, and has special expertise with caregivers.

Life as we know presents us with many challenges, and some are often difficult to navigate through alone. I have a special interest working with adults and adolescents who are struggling particularly with anger, anxiety, depression and/or self esteem issues. I believe in exploring unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and patterns that continue to promote unpleasant feelings and self sabotage. I can assist you with developing positive self care; increased insight, healthy boundaries, better communication and strategies to manage stress better.

Congratulations on taking such a significant and courageous step in your self care. We can easily become stagnated by the struggles of our past or bounded by the worries of our future. My mission is to empower my clients through identifying and cultivating their strengths consequently building upon these qualities to achieve the vision and goals they have for themselves. I strive to foster a relationship that provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to share openly and freely.

I believe in creating a warm and structured space where clients feel safe exploring their thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences. Through utilizing evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I am able to tailor my interventions to meet clients' specific needs and goals.

A bow of welcome to you! Taking the first steps of exploration into suffering, challenging life circumstances, overwhelming emotions, and conflicts with others takes courage, and I acknowledge that you have taken this difficult first step. I have been working in the field for almost 15 years and I’ve learned that my greatest teachers are the people with whom I work. I will work with you to create a safe and collaborative relationship to explore whatever it is that brought you to therapy. One observation that I have made over my years doing therapy, is that the “sicker” people are, the less they play.

I believe that creating a safe space for growth is paramount and that making sure the client feels comfortable and heard is key in creating that space for growth and empowerment. I have experience in a collection of evidence-based practices- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and psychoeducation to name a few. I believe in the power of positive change through consistency, practice, patience, and support.
