Therapists in Pennington, NJ

So many issues and roadblocks are too hard to face alone. Some can feel overwhelming. My role is to partner with you to help you find solutions and peace of mind. I have 20 years of experience as a therapist, helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma (past and present), relationship difficulties, grief and loss, cancer treatment, cancer survivorship, recovery from addiction, and more.

At our practice, you will be supported by a dedicated team of compassionate and caring therapists. We are a trauma-informed, community-oriented practice that only uses evidence and research-based treatment modalities for depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and other life challenges and transitions. We believe in mind/body connection, so body-oriented skills are taught and incorporated into our therapy sessions. We will teach you/work with you on integrating mindfulness, meditation, grounding, and other effective coping skills to address emotional distress, change behavioral patterns and enhance relationships. All are welcome.

Hi, I'm Chelsea. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults and teens and specialize in the needs of college students and young adults during times of transition. My therapeutic approach is centered on helping you explore the full spectrum of your emotions and experiences, fostering acceptance, self-love and growth. I take a holistic approach that acknowledges the interconnected aspects of one's experience. I hold 10 years experience helping people find healing and growth - supporting people with mood and anxiety disorders, navigating relationships, finding their voice, and learning to trust themselves.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals and couples from different backgrounds. Mental health can be compromised by chronic stress that negatively affects our mind and body. Stress can result from living challenging workplace environments, family difficulties, personal emotional problems, the experience loss or trauma. I have particular expertise in helping those living in intense high pressure environments stressors that may have caused depression and anxiety, identity concerns, relationship problems, workplace conflicts or academic difficulties, family problems, and serious mental health challenges.

Are you stressed-out, out-of-balance, overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you have a feeling that life is passing you by? Do you often feel so tired by bedtime but cannot sleep as racing thoughts run through your mind thinking about the "what ifs"?? Even when you get adequate sleep, you still drag the next day, consumed by worry, insecurities, and self-doubt? If this sounds like you, my holistic approach to psychotherapy will help you remove negative thought patterns, emotional blocks, and self-made limitations that may be holding you back from living your best life!

Courage. That is what I hear when I am contacted for consultation. We collaborate in a supportive environment to face challenges like being single (again), grief, strengthening a marriage, #MeToo, anxiety, codependency, impostor syndrome or burnout. Together, we understand and transform barriers that block you from what you want in life. I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma/neglect. I have experience working with people from a variety of ethnicities, religious/spiritual backgrounds and sexual orientations. We will mindfully, focus on the present and briefly visit the past when it is influencing the present.

I approach my clients from a place of empathy and compassion for the issues that have led them to seek support. In a safe and non-judgmental way, I seek to partner with clients to work through their challenges, help them to develop better understandings of themselves, and empower them to make decisions. I can also help clients to understand how past experiences and relationships may inform and influence the present. I work with individuals around anxiety and depression, chronic illness, coping with grief and loss, parenting and reproductive issues, and a variety of other concerns and challenges that arise in our everyday lives.

My inclusive work focuses on: Helping people to feel regulated and empowered, and to feel seen, safe, and valued for who they are in our process together; those struggling with trauma, PTSD, depression and anxiety; chronic pain, grief and loss, phobias, racing thoughts, crossroads and upheaval; as well as Body Image, with a specific focus on Body Neutrality and Health At Every Size (HAES) – all with mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance.

At Positive Mind Counseling, we understand that you can experience fear and courage simultaneously, desire change while being afraid of it, and hold both love and resentment in your heart. You can deeply care about someone and still choose not to have them in your life. You can be both strong and vulnerable, independent and need help. You can accept yourself as you are and still strive for personal growth.

Life presents us with challenges at every phase, and sometimes collaboration with a trained professional helps to weather the storms of life and promote growth and happiness. In my work with children, teens, and adults, I strive to create a safe accepting environment, so my clients can openly express their throughts and feelings and explore their concerns. My treatment is comprehensive in nature and carefully designed to promote self-awareness and address the unique needs of each individual.
