I help clients to strengthen their sense of resiliency, knowing that they have the power to choose to use the skills discussed in sessions to better their lives. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults and help them to better understand their issues and the factors maintaining them; this awareness helps my clients to regain control and live more fulfilling and joyous lives. I help my clients to see that their past does not define their future, as well as strengthen their willingness to accept current circumstances so that they can live more presently, each day.

I believe we should all have access to a space where we can be open and honest with who we are and what we need to thrive. It is important to me that I support individuals in cultivating such a space with safety and freedom of feelings, thoughts and emotions. We all deserve a chance to thrive in life and find some sense of peace and understanding of experiences that make us who we are. I am here to challenge any notions that you cannot be your best self and find solace in that.

I’ve been a Psychotherapist for 13+ years with experience in relational work and working from a trauma-informed lens. I am Certified in EMDR therapy, which can be utilized to address anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, and a number of other concerns.

Do you struggle with your relationship with your body? Do you often feel anxious or irritable? Do you frequently compare yourself to others and always feel 'less than?' Do you feel caught in a vicious cycle of anxiety and avoidance and can't find your way out? Have you recently been diagnosed with ADHD later in life, or think you may have undiagnosed ADHD? If you answered 'yes' to ANY of these questions, I can help. Struggling with your mental health can feel so isolating - please know you're not alone.

My name is Chloe Adel and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. I obtained a Masters degree in Social Work from Ramapo college, and I hold most of my experience working with those who have endured trauma, with extensive training in working with those who have experienced sexual violence. I also specialize working with folks within the LGBTQIA+ community, along with those with body image concerns, anxiety disorders and depression.

Each individual has the ability to make healthy changes to address areas they find of concern. Dealing with these life challenges on your own can be very difficult. Fortunately, counseling can help. My specialties include but are not limited to, depression, addiction, anxiety, codependency, and anger management. I have much experience with the gay and lesbian population. I work from a client centered, eclectic and humanistic model to address your individual needs. We will collaborate and develop a treatment approach that will best address your needs.

We do not accept insurance- As Robert Frost once said, "the best way out is through." Growing Mindset Therapy clinicians are here if you are looking for a teammate or coach to help you to work through the challenges that life is throwing your way. Our passion is making therapeutic topics relatable, accessible, and enjoyable. We recognize that we are each unique and like the variations of different house plants, we all require individualized care. We want to help you see yourself as the expert in your life and while we can't control life’s rainstorms, we can teach you new skills that can help you you weather those inevitable storms.

There are many reasons people reach out to a therapist. Sometimes, people feel stuck in their current lives, unable to realize their goals in their personal relationships or in their work. Sometimes people feel there is unfinished business to attend to from their past and they want to explore these experiences in a nonjudgemental space. Sometimes people are struggling to answer essential questions about themselves, how they show up in the world, and how they find meaning in the lives they lead. Sometimes people need someone to talk to. Whatever you are seeking to accomplish with therapy, I want to partner with you for the journey.

Despite having reached the pinnacle of my profession after nearly two decades of practice, it was my own struggle with learning disabilities, dual diagnosis and other medical conditions and issues, that changed my perspective and my life. I came to appreciate an approach which focuses on the here and now; solution focused and goal oriented. I found little solace in traditional therapeutic approaches which focused largely on the past, and went on for months with no real relief nor positive impact on my life or functioning. As such, I strive to help my clients achieve their goals and actualize their dreams using a coaching approach.

Life can be challenging but it doesn't have to stay that way. In fact, I believe that through life’s hurdles, we develop resourceful ways to cope. That's why in my practice I aim to highlight what has worked in the past as well as explore behaviors that are no longer beneficial. I am deeply passionate about being an active participant in your growth and reaching a place where we are no longer just surviving, we're thriving. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, addiction, and eating disorders. These things can be challenging but I am committed to addressing them in a collaborative manner.

Are you lost in your emotions and feel like life is “unraveling”? One of the bravest things you can do is seek help and begin to understand your own story. Early life experiences shape how we see ourselves and the world around us that can develop into negative beliefs about who we are. Over time old beliefs and patterns that once helped protect us are no longer useful and can cause disruption in all areas of life. Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, let trauma control us or feel anxious/depressed/angry all the time. You deserve to live a life that makes you excited to wake up every morning.

Do you feel misunderstood? Do you have trouble communicating? As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I help couples and individuals turn their relationships around for the better. We work on speaking and listening techniques, using "I" statements, setting boundaries and other relationship skills. We use videos, personality tests, role plays and other tools to bring about rapid change. What sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to keep clients on a systematic approach to change with a focused, short term program to help them to create satisfying, healthy relationships and build the kind of life they want and need.

Our weight-obsessed culture chastises and shames you, as though your body size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor health. Over time, you started internalizing this anti-fat bias, and often treat yourself with the same level of contempt. You either avoid seeking medical care altogether, or expose yourself to the risk of weight stigma (far more harmful than any presumed adverse effect of your weight itself). You forgot how to nourish yourself – sometimes forbidding yourself food, sometimes isolating in shame for a binge, sometimes "paying" via purge. But friend, you are meant to bloom - not shrink.

My goal is to support and empower you on your journey towards increased connection with your body, your mind, and with others. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image concerns as well as specializing in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use disorders. I strongly believe in meeting clients where they are with a non-judgmental and affirming approach. I view clients as the experts of their own lives and believe that the therapeutic process should be collaborative.

Hi there, I'm Allyson! I am a warm, caring, and non-judgmental therapist. I have helped and enjoy working with folks dealing with anxiety, late dx ADHD, periods of life transitions, those dealing with relationship concerns, who are creatives, and those experiencing an imbalance in mental load/emotional labor. I use evidence-based practices and interventions tailored for your individual needs. Together, we will highlight your strengths and find insight into areas of concern- we will work to better understand where you become caught in old ways of thinking or behaving and learn how to move you closer to your most authentic self.

It is important for you to know that your truth will always be accepted, so it is okay to tell it. No matter the person or circumstances, an individual can have hope to improve or recover. The keys include creating goals and making a plan. Our goal is to assist you at a pace that works for you to effect desired changes in your life.
