Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 08876

Life is filled with many opportunities as well as challenges. My goal is to help children and adolescents recognize and seize those opportunities and overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in their way. By helping them create a positive mindset, build effective coping strategies, and expand their repertoire of problem-solving skills, they can live a healthy, satisfying, and successful social and academic life. The earlier these skills are cultivated within the child or adolescent, the greater the opportunities to practice and utilize them to their benefit.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for a person to feel heard, to be respected, and to be understood. Each individual is unique and therefore no one issue is ever the same among different people. I utilize an integrative approach to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". Trust is paramount in the therapeutic setting and I strive to create a safe and empathetic environment to facilitate growth.

Welcome! I am a Psychotherapist (in practice since 2010) and owner of Mindful Life Therapy LLC in Somerville, NJ. MLT (est. 2012) is a team of professional, compassionate, and skillful Clinicians. Treating adolescents through adults who struggle with a variety of psychiatric, emotional and behavioral issues in individual and family counseling. Specialties include: Mood Disorders, Addiction Recovery, Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, PTSD, Adjustment concerns, and Borderline Personality Disorder. In addition we work with individuals who are struggling with everyday issues and adjustments.

Welcome. I believe it is a great privilege and responsibility to accompany someone on their healing journey. My approach to therapy begins with a firm belief in the inherent dignity of the individual. You aren’t damaged, nor do you need to be fixed. All symptoms—negative thinking, addictions, unhealthy coping strategies—develop to help you survive. Habitual ways of being, therefore, need to be seen through a lens of compassion and curiosity. I strive to create an atmosphere of respect and trust in which clients can safely explore their background, relationships, and inner workings of the mind, to help alleviate their suffering.

Accepting New Clients! Welcome. Starting therapy can feel scary and vulnerable. My goal is to provide an accepting and non-judgmental environment for you to process your feelings. We will work together to find the right approach to meet your goals. Together we will overcome grief, loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I also have a special interest in working with the LGBTQIA+ population.

Hi! My name is Sarah, I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist and community partner at Healing Reimagined. I've been providing trauma informed counseling in non-profits, sexual violence prevention programs, and long-term mental health & substance abuse treatment for the last 5 years. I primarily work with individuals who are navigating anxiety and life changes, folks who have been affected by interpersonal violence, addiction, or other traumas. My intention is to create a space that feels secure for folks to feel seen and heard for who they are, while moving through their own healing process.

I have been working with adults, teenagers, young children, and families as a whole for many years, using a positive strengths-based approach. I specialize in a number of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for adults and teenagers, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Sandplay Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and general behavioral modification for younger children and adolescents. I am committed to helping people of all ages with a range of challenges such as sells-harm, suicidal ideation, divorce, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, school refusal, trauma, attachment/adjustment difficulties, oppositional behaviors, and general family conflict.

Life can be highly complex, with obstacles overwhelming the healthiest of minds. The decision to seek counseling is often not an easy one. Successful therapy is more than the absence of symptoms or issues, it is a life enriched with increased self-awareness/compassion/empowerment. I will help you recognize and build upon your strengths, challenging restrictive/limiting beliefs/behaviors, and grow toward wholeness, confidence, and joy. Healing happens in relationships when there's true and honest connections with others, but more importantly within oneself. Finding and using your "inner voice" is often the key needed to begin meaningful change.

I have over 15 years of counseling experience working with a wide variety of personal problems including marital and family, anxiety and depression, chronic illnesses, grief and loss, workplace adjustment, and others too numerous to list. I have specialized training and experience in stress reduction, mindfulness, Enneagram, and family problems. I have a graduate decree in Christian counseling and work closely with people of faith.

Everyone has a story. I believe people are deserving of a safe space to be genuinely seen and heard. I am here to support and empower my clients in their growth and fulfillment as they navigate their own unique journey through life. Although I work with clients of most ages and all backgrounds, many of my clients are millennial adults who are wanting to discover and connect with themselves on a deeper level as they experience the full spectrum of the human experience. Sessions are often a balance of supporting my clients as they process thoughts and feelings, and empowering them to develop new patterns in coping and communication.

I have worked with children and adults both online and in person. I have experience in play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, creating writing, music therapy, and the trauma narrative. My goal is to help you achieve your goals.

Accepting New Clients. Hello. My style is warm, non-judgmental, playful, validating, and challenging. It is my belief that the best work comes from building a strong therapeutic alliance and working together to uncover goals while simultaneously developing a deeper understanding of oneself. It is always my objective to provide a space where clients feel comfortable and open discussing their thoughts and feelings. I use a variety of different strategies while in session and we will work together to find an individual approach best suited for your journey.

Struggling with "adulting"? Approaching retirement or recently retired? Contemplating a new career or just changed jobs? First-time parent or empty-nester? Recent graduate? Adapting to a new marriage, relationship, blended family? Newly divorced or separated? Whether it’s a shift in your career, transition to a new school or job, family composition, marital or employment status, adjusting to change is stressful and challenging.

Welcome to my practice. 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 experience anxiety from time to time. However, for some, anxiety seriously interferes with their lives - relationships, careers and ability to feel joy. Are you experiencing any of the following: excessive worries, inability to concentrate, muscle tension, restlessness, shortness of breath, fear of social situations, uncontrollable negative thoughts, upset stomach/nausea?

Welcome! Therapy has the potential to positively change the direction of your life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has worked with both adults and adolescents for the past 25 years. My work with clients centers around dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, social issues, life transitions, as well as, school and work-related difficulties. I have extensive experience working with both undergraduate and graduate level college students. I offer a judgement-free atmosphere where individuals can feel validated and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

Taking the steps to seek therapy can be difficult and overwhelming, but I am here to tell you that I am already proud of you for beginning this journey. As a therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you feel comfortable to be able to grow and change into the person you know you can be. By combining evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies, with my clinical experience, we can work together to get you where you want to be. So, let's take this journey together!

Do you ever feel like life just keeps happening and you are trying to keep up? That feeling of holding your breathe; preparing yourself for whatever may come next? Situations, transitions, people, our past all can take a toll on both our minds and bodies. To cope; we rationalize away whatever is happening and how we are feeling. As we try to keep pushing forward there is still this doubt; this lingering feeling of either wanting help, wanting things to change or just wanting to feel better. Taking that first step may not be easy; but I am here to support you to make yourself a priority, to make progess for yourself, not perfection.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults of all ages in individual, couples and family therapy. Together we will work to identify your strengths and coping tools to improve relationships, emotions and behaviors. We will focus on changing automatic negative, self critical thinking to more empowered, compassionate thoughts.
