Adults Therapists in 08544

I am a highly experienced psychotherapist with a broad range of training and expertise. I am a caring professional who seeks to create a therapeutic dialogue that includes self understanding and action planning in a supportive atmosphere.I work well with adults coping with anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. Also, I have worked with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse. I have years of experience counseling college age individuals who need help managing academic demands, relationship stress and family issues. I have worked extensively with first generation college students and international students.

Hello! My name is Dr. Chelece-Atavia Brown, a Pre-Licensed Social Worker (LSW) for New Jersey and a certified facilitator in Teen Mental Health First Aid by the National Council of Well-Being. I have experience in providing therapeutic services for children, teens, adults, couples, and groups. I assist high-achieving Black women and men with navigating life stressors. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between faith and mental health to increase an individual's quality of life.

My ideal client is a young adult facing overwhelming life challenges. They might feel lost amid trauma, loss, or big changes, even though they seem okay to others. They struggle with emotions like sadness and stress and need a safe place to talk, heal, and learn healthy ways to cope. They want to find peace and purpose, and they seek support to understand themselves better, grow, and face life with confidence. They're ready to explore, heal, and become the best version of themselves, knowing they don't have to do it alone.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

I believe strongly that clients come in all different shapes and sizes and from different walks of life. Therefore, I do not have an ideal client, as my wish is to help anyone who needs it regardless of their experiences, needs, and goals. I welcome the experiences I will gain from having diverse clients.

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.

My ideal client is someone who actively participates in therapy sessions, demonstrating a commitment to their personal growth and well-being. While there may not be an ideal set of issues, I appreciate a client who is open to exploring and addressing the challenges they are facing, fostering a collaborative and honest therapeutic relationship. The ideal client is someone with a goal-oriented mindset. I value a client who sees therapy as a means to gain self-awareness and understanding.

Welcome! Glad you're investing in yourself - it's a good sign. A little about me - I have over 25 years’ experience working with adolescents, adults and seniors with mental health issues. I have a strong understanding of anxiety, depression and trauma. I have been extremely fortunate to support individuals from all different backgrounds and life transitions. I am very invested in helping you take that next step, face your fears, deal with difficult people in your life or plan how to reach your goal. Problems that feel overwhelming can be managed when you share them. I'm a good listener.

Are you waiting for a sign to get help? Here it is. Time for a transformation! I am the founder and owner of New Moon Counseling LLC which offers virtual individual counseling to adults in New Jersey. I have 10 years experience working in the mental health field in many different environments. I work with clients with ADHD, ASD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, relationship stressors, LGBTQIA+ struggles, and chronic health issues.

I provide clients with a safe and confidential space to process and manage many of life's transitions. I believe that treatment should be tailored to you and your own unique needs. Therapy can be focused on different areas of your life such as improving your mood, exploring various identities, improving your ability to manage your emotions, exploring family issues, parenting, processing interpersonal problems or just wanting to enhance your quality of life.

If you are looking to make a specific changes in your life, reduce anxiety, or improve relationships then therapy may be the answer. I believe that all of us have the right to live fully and authentically. Sometimes things get in the way; from a chaotic childhood to low self esteem, depression, loss of any kind, or any other adverse life event that blocks us from achieving true satisfaction and happiness in life. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive and non-judgmental environment for those that are struggling with challenging symptoms, have difficulties managing emotions or maintaining healthy and satisfying relationships.

Life can be tough sometimes, whether it be a challenging life transition, processing trauma, or contemplating if your current relationship is your best path forward. Working together to develop a plan for your own wellness, without judgment, is the goal. For people who are uncertain about their relationship to alcohol and other drugs, we can explore this together without the expectation for abstinence. I understand people ebb and flow with their use and not everyone needs to give it up to recover from problematic use. Families of people who use drugs often feel scared and powerless, but you are powerful, you can make a difference.

I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience providing highly individualized, effective treatment for a wide range of emotional, psychological and adjustment related concerns. Being a seasoned clinician, I have a deep knowledge base, with training in many therapeutic theories. This allows me to develop interventions that will best assist you in reaching your goals.

I am a highly experienced psychoanalytically trained therapist with a broad range of clinical expertise. I work with college and graduate age students and the general adult population.

I believe that a strong and positive therapeutic relationship can help you overcome challenges and envision new possibilities. My approach is warm, engaging, and collaborative. I love to help people get unstuck and develop a deep sense of self-compassion and self-trust. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma, therapy can be a safe space to feel supported and discover new tools.

Sometimes it's difficult to speak the words? Sometimes it is hard to find answers. We believe our clients have their own best solutions from within and that Horses assist us in on that path. Spring Reins of Hope (SRoH) was founded in 2009 under the Eagala Model of equine-assisted services. The horses provide an experiential/ solution focused therapeutic model that can act as a fast-track intervention therapy alongside traditional therapies (collaborating with your therapist), or as a stand-alone alternative to talk therapy. We have licensed professionals and follow HIPAA guidelines while we 'get to the horse of the matter'.

My ideal client is an individual who presents with depressive and anxiety symptoms. They reported issues at work and experiencing insomnia, irritability, and sadness. The client is open to coping, assertiveness, and anger management skills. They also verbalized an interest in involving family members in the recovery process. I would integrate therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual and collaborate with other providers.

My ideal client is open to insight and a different perspective. They are perhaps ready for a change and will walk a path that may be uncomfortable at times. My ideal client has dealt with everything from existential crises, searching for life's meaning, addiction, behavior issues, trauma, and attachment issues, to name a few that stand out.
