Therapists in 07090

Finding the right therapist can be quite stressful and exhausting. I’m dedicated to making my clients feel comfortable and understood from the start. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults from a variety of backgrounds to overcome many difficulties such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, relationship issues, and complex trauma. I see every potential client as unique with their own strengths and life story.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (psychotherapist), professor, life coach, consultant, trainer, author & motivational speaker with over 20 years of experience. My Team and I at Great Joy Counseling & Consulting Services are committed to providing specialized services in a variety of treatment modalities. When asked what sets me apart from others in the field, clients cite my keen insight, non-judgmental approach & depth of experience. I provide "just-in-time" services that assist individuals and organizations with refocusing their energy and getting back on track with their goals.

I am a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and groups to help them resolve issues interfering with emotional and mental health. My aim is to help empower clients to live a fully conscious and meaningful life in harmony with the world around them. Using the techniques and training listed below I’ve helped clients manage and overcome relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, and other issues. I also have experience as an EMT, Buddhist chaplain, and prison counselor, so I bring diverse perspectives on health and the human condition to our work together.

If you are troubled by anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, panic, or relationship issues, you may want to try cognitive behavior therapy. I'm a psychologist who has been practicing CBT for over 25 years, and I know how to help people change distressing emotions, self-defeating thoughts, and all kinds of negative behavior patterns. If you come to see me, I'll explain your difficulty in plain English and you and I will develop a treatment plan that will help.

Are you facing a challenging situation in your life? Perhaps you are trying to recover from a difficult break-up. Or you may be trying to resolve conflicts in a relationship with a partner, family member, co-worker or boss. Your struggle may be an internal one, such as dealing with behavior that feels out of control, confusion over sexual orientation, gender identity or other issues affecting self-esteem. Utilizing a combination of mindfulness, cognitive therapy, insight oriented and trauma based approaches, my goal is to foster a compassionate view of yourself as you deal with life's challenges.

At times we find ourselves at a difficult crossroad, uncertain how to grow and change in the face of our distress. With 35 years in private practice, my goal is to help individuals and couples find a path to unknot conflicts and develop more resilient and expansive modes of living. Many of the people I work with are embroiled in addictive behaviors such as alcohol and substance misuse, gambling, sex addiction and pornography. Others struggle with painful traumatic personal histories, chronic and acute illnesses, grief and loss. And still others are mired in destructive relationship patterns that undermine the quality of their lives.
