Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in 08869

With over 23 years of experience in private practice, I have worked productively with adults, couples, and teenagers, in addition to running group therapy. For many people coming to therapy is the most important step in their life. Perhaps above anything else, the most important part of psychotherapy is the bond that is built between the therapist and those seeking treatment. The “right fit” in therapy is crucial to the patient’s progress.

Are you seeking to improve your quality of life & overall well-being? My approach to therapy is to help you gain a better sense of self, develop emotional stability & achieve personal growth. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 year's experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Columbia University with a MSW & have a BS in Applied Sociology/Social Work from Seattle University. I possess extensive experience working with individuals & couples living with PTSD, Trauma related issues, Grief, Adjustment Issues/Disorders, Depression, Substance Use, Anxiety, Work-Related Issues, & Marital/Relational issues.

*I am currently accepting client's for a 4-5 month waiting list only* I have over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families. I am strength based, solution focused and strive to empower you to build on what is already working in life. I am trained to work with children ages 0-5 and have an expertise with struggling teens. Whether it be life situations, depression, anxiety or trauma, I will partner with you to improve general happiness and well being.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents and adults with symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral issues, stress-related problems, life transitions, trauma, relationship issues and parenting.

We all want to feel happy, supported and understood, but sometimes life situations make us feel sad, lonely and unsure. During these times an empathetic, warm and engaging therapeutic relationship can promote healing, encourage growth and create joy. Reaching out for help is a brave and courageous step towards creating the life you deserve, and I would be honored if you chose to work with me.

We all strive for clarity and peace while navigating the many challenges life throws our way. Counseling allows you the space to focus on your personal growth while working through hardships and hurts. My goal as a therapist is to provide my clients with that safe and caring space where they can let their walls down and feel supported on their journey to being the best version of themselves. I believe that every single person can flourish when they have someone to empathetically listen and understand them.

I have often had the best success with clients seeking a symptom relief or crisis resolution, in combination with a desire to change lifestyles. Personal growth is more than learning new coping skills, requiring a commitment to self exploration and changing orientations. Breaking old patterns of thought and behavior can be accomplished via changing what we pay attention to,how we treat ourselves and others and broadening our view of the world. I focus on the life directions, passions and strengths of people. I am informed by the belief that we are all unique beings.

It's possible that you've reached a point in your life where therapy could be a valuable resource to help you navigate various challenges. These challenges might encompass a wide range of experiences, from typical life transitions to complex issues like relationship struggles, mood fluctuations, grief/loss, depression, or overwhelming anxiety. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely listen, work with you to develop coping strategies, assist with emotional regulation, and help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, then you've definitely found the right person.

We’re pleased you’ve made your first step towards healing. We understand that seeking help, whether for yourself or for your children isn’t always easy. Unfortunately, life doesn’t come with a user’s manual, and when times get tough, many of us are left feeling confused, angry, depressed and helpless. While we can’t provide you with a magical user’s manual to life, we can offer you an ancient symbol of peace, an olive branch. We want to help you extend that olive branch to not only the important relationships in your life but to yourself as well. Because at the end of the day, we all deserve inner peace.
