Therapists in Ewing, NJ

Maybe you have anxiety, experienced trauma, or diagnosed with ADHD and you're looking to heal those parts. Perhaps you’re struggling with your partner, friends, boss, or parents and you’re looking to understand those relationships deeper. It can feel overwhelming and isolating working on healing from negative experiences, I get it. We may oftentimes find ourselves feeling stuck and unsure of where to go to next. I want to help you overcome that. Changing is not necessarily the answer, but rather growing into the version of you that you want to see.

Having spent 18 years in the Mental Health field and 8 years in Private Practice, I have gained the confidence to empower individuals, offer guidance, and be a supportive part of your journey towards conquering life's challenges.

I see life as a journey and counseling as an opportunity for an individual or couple to reach a greater level of health and joy. It is my hope to share in that journey. The focus in my practice is to provide quality, professional care for adolescents, adults, and couples through confidential counseling and consultation. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years experience.

I have over 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents and their families, as well as individual adults, in independent practice, school and hospital settings. While I work with patients presenting with a wide range of issues and concerns I specialize in working with neurologically or developmentally 'atypical' children and adolescents - ADHD, learning disabilities, autism spectrum, etc. I often work with those neurodevelopmentally atypical children, adolescent and young adults who don't easily fit into these kinds of standard diagnostic categories. I look for and develop strengths, resiliencies and resources.

Growing up isn't easy. In my practice, I focus on teenagers and young adults who need support as they navigate life's stressors. I provide coping skills for young people struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood swings, major life changes, disruptive behavior, grief, and many other issues. In therapy, you will feel heard, understood, and important.

I work primarily with adults and specialize in anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (including complex or developmental PTSD) as well as depression, relationship issues, performance enhancement and work stress. Please don't hesitate to call me if you have questions. You will find additional information on my website at www.drlaurakogan.com.

Some of human suffering is about the way we experience the events of our lives rather than the things themselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to bring awareness to our experiences and change our relationship to them rather than try to change the events themselves. Through this approach, we gain a sense of control in our lives and positively experience and influence its direction. If we believe that we have power within us to achieve health and happiness, then the events in our lives that cause us pain and suffering can be seen as an opportunity to learn about ourselves and experience personal growth.

From frozen to happiness… In our work together, you will learn how to get in touch with your intuition, as well as how to identify and manage emotions in healthy ways.

As your therapist you can count on me to be genuine, honest, and to never give up on you, even if you've given up on yourself.

I enjoy working holistically with individuals, from teens to older adults, as well as couples/relationships to enhance communication skills and deepen connections. I utilize mindfulness, attachment, and self-compassionate approaches and find a great deal of benefit from incorporating creative interventions, such as the use of art and horticultural therapies.

Additionally, I am a gender specialist with advanced training through WPATH.

Too often, we are taught to suppress our emotions and keep going. We may feel that addressing our past and daily challenges are too painful to conquer.

It takes courage, commitment and perseverance to break the chains that may hinder you from being the person you desire. The name of my practice is Truth in Healing, LLC, because I am aware of and acknowledge all it takes to go on this journey of self-healing.
