Buddhist Therapists in Middlesex County, NJ

Have you been wanting to make meaningful changes in your life but feel hesitant to start therapy? I know how courageous making this move is, and provide a relaxed, supportive atmosphere as you explore your emotional life. I partner with you to identify your goals for personal growth. Together we create a safe space for you to clarify patterns of behavior and thinking that may be bogging you down. We can look at repeated sources of disappointment or dissatisfaction so that you can grow away from them and into a more vibrant relation to yourself, others, and the world.

My ultimate aim is to teach clients to become their own therapist. I facilitate self-reflection to gain insight into maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. I foster self-compassion, coping skills, and mental fortitude in facing stressors, problems, and crises. I believe in empowering clients to make positive changes beyond the near future and build resilience in facing challenges for a lifetime.

Our mission at Faithlift and Hope, LLC is to instill a seed of hope in each of our clients while lifting them up in their emotional, mental and even spiritual life. We welcome all people of gender, ages, and spiritual backgrounds.

We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! Does your inner voice sound like constant chatter pointing out mistakes, flaws, and worse case scenarios? Are you stuck on a loop of worry and negative self talk? Living with anxiety can feel like being on a carousel of nonstop thoughts. Life can be difficult when we feel this way. You don't have to stay trapped in your own head. You can reach out to me and together we can unpack these thoughts, get acquainted with emotions, and learn tools to consciously respond to life's challenges.

Finding a therapist you can connect with can be overwhelming and feel like a daunting process. In a world that has conditioned you to live an unconscious life, self-reflection and building your intuition is an act of rebellion. You may struggle to find meaning, balance, & peace within the chaos of living. Life inherently involves suffering, and sometimes navigating relationship issues, big life transitions, traumas, or just daily stress can get overwhelming and confusing. The choice to go to therapy is a radical act of self-care, bravery, and accountability.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 30 years of experience as a coach, counselor, and therapist. I see people from New Jersey virtually, and in person in Rochester Minn. Effective therapy begins through a relationship in which one feels heard and understood. I listen well. From that foundation my aim as a therapist is to identify and understand ways in which you may be caught in unfulfilling ways of thinking and interacting , and then work together to uncover and develop strengths and skills to flexibly move toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life. If you’re feeling down - let’s talk - I can help.

There is little in this life I have found more uplifting then helping people overcome challenges and return to experiencing life in the present moment, where there is true peace, joy, and stillness. I believe in the power of each individual to take control of their lives and in doing so - accomplish their goals, feel happy, present and alive. We all benefit from connecting to a trusted source we can share deeply personal things with, opening ourselves in vulnerable ways with no risk of judgment. I take great pride in being that person for many and am blessed to do this work. This is my gift and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Hi, my name is Felipe, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Montclair State University with a concentration in Community Counseling. I am a bilingual therapist and can conduct therapy sessions in English and Spanish. I have 15 years of experience as a mental health professional with the opportunity to work with various ages and backgrounds in different clinical settings. I have experience providing individual therapy and use a person-centered approach. I utilize concepts and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship

As a holistic psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I integrate left & right brain techniques to promote healing and well-being. I'm a registered yoga teacher, somatic and mindfulness practitioner, reiki healer, and artist. I'm passionate about expressive arts and the mind-body-spirit connection to help clients cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and inner joy. Thru yoga therapy, creative expression, and relaxation techniques, clients explore different aspects of themselves, fostering emotional healing and self esteem building. I also lead a structured virtual DBT group teaching emotion regulation skills to supplement.

It takes courage to start therapy. To become aware of old beliefs & behaviors that no longer work. To be open to healing from the past and creating a more authentic & fulfilling future. I use an integrative approach, combining Psychodynamic theory, CBT, as well as concepts from Evolutionary Psychology to guide my clients through this process. As needed, I also add in several science-based stress management interventions, such as: breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, positive visualizations, etc. My clients report they feel more relaxed, less reactive and just generally happier over time.

In my professional work I have learned to empathize deeply and to make observations and interpretations based on years of accumulated clinical knowledge and experience. While my professional training has been invaluable, my clients (and my colleagues, too) have been the most extraordinary teachers of life and healing. Through my work I have learned to be more open and compassionate and more fully human. This enables me to be a more effective facilitator in the healing process of psychotherapy. It is always a privilege to do emotional healing work with another human being--both of us are enriched.

In my experience as a therapist, I find that many people are looking for someone who will provide a safe space to talk, listen, and support them. My goal is to provide children, preteens/tweens, adolescents/teenagers, adults, and elders, as well as, families and couples with the skills and tools to help them reach their own personal goals. With these skills, you will become a better communicator, develop confidence, and utilize positive responses to daily life problems.

Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, starting therapy can be one of the most taxing and anxiety provoking things we can imagine. Many of us live day by day worried about what may happen or what has happened, and eventually it starts to consume how we think and behave. We start to lie to ourselves and others about what is happening, and we start to feel trapped and hopeless. Everyday seems to be a battle and we crave a release.

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.

I am a psychologist, father, husband, poet, scientist, actor, and lover of the truth of how difficult it can be to navigate adulthood from 18-80. I strongly believe that too few clients know what makes a therapist effective enough to make a meaningful difference.I value humble, poignant, and open interpersonal connections with clients, above all else.I am a directive therapist who understands both sides of the couch and gives 100% to each individual.I am a trained scholar in behavioral heath, and I have specialties in depression, anxiety, OCD and child loss.I meld cognitive behavioral psychology with the rich tenets of Zen-Buddhism.
