I am excited to speak with you because my passion is helping others. I have helped adolescents and adults overcome a variety of issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Relationship Difficulties, Trauma, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, Anger and a lot more... I would be happy to aid you or your loved one in taking the first step towards mental wellness. Please call or email me and leave a message with the general issues you are facing and what insurance you have. I will get back to you as soon as possible. Let's do this together!

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, depression, divorce, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need help from a professional to learn how to cope with many of life’s challenges. I would love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

I'm often asked, "When is it time to see a therapist?" I don't know anyone who can say everything in their life is going well all of the time. We all have challenges from time to time, but you don't have to go through them alone. I'm here to help you use your strengths to keep what is going right, and find your strengths when things are going wrong. I bring warmth, empathy, and a touch of playful creativity to my work. Parents who are overwhelmed by their children's behaviors, kids/teens who need someone other than mom or dad to talk to, and families looking to reconnect may find working with me to be especially helpful!

We are a private practice of licensed clinical staff serving several states throughout the east coast, via traditional and non-traditional mental health services and caregiver support. We support our local domestic courts and partner with local community agencies, small businesses, and other mental health clinicians.

Maintaining healthy relationships and boundaries can often be complicated. While we can't change difficult situations my goal is to help you navigate life's challenges in order to achieve and maintain healthy and balanced outcomes. As a therapist with over 11 years of real world experience I have gained valuable knowledge in working with both individuals and couples from a variety of backgrounds and different walks of life. I am familiar with concerns that commonly impact women including body issues, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, as well as post-partum, and low self-esteem.

Ever think to yourself "...why am I like this?!" and become frustrated that you just can't seem to let go and move on? Pause for a moment, and know that your thoughts, feelings, and very existence are all valid. Being seen and heard (and not just shouting into the void) simply as we are and where we are in life plays significantly into creating the confidence to face challenges, and then continuing to thrive. You are deserving of finding balance, harmony, and evolving into your most genuine self.

Are you looking for a stigma-free and culturally sensitive environment where you can work on improving your mental health, heal, and grow? We are a nonprofit community-based organization providing accessible mental health care since 1971. Our amazing team of therapists now have openings in their schedule and are excited to meet you!

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, and I have experience supporting young adults and adults with concerns such as addictions, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/ family issues, and anger management. My ideal client would like to resolve these issues by empowering themselves to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate moments of distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay within the present moment. My ideal client would like to learn these skills in order to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

When life is painful and overwhelming, I will listen. If you are struggling with addictions, I can help. When your relationship feels broken, I will give you tools. And if your self-esteem is hurting, I can provide skills to grow. Often childhood or adult trauma challenges your beliefs and you struggle with depression or anxiety. I practice Holistic methods focusing on Emotions, Belief Systems, Relationships, Health and Spirituality. Counseling is safe and confidential for women, men, couples and adolescents who are dealing with addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, anger, incest, infidelity, women's issues, and PTSD.

I believe that everyone has the potential to live the life that they envision and I am passionate about helping you get there! I am accessible to my clients in person and via telehealth and I work with them individually to ensure that our goals are being met. Open communication and a comfortable environment are very important to me. Let's take the first steps to living the life you envision together!

Tired of trying to figure it all out on your own? Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Hope is closer that it might seem! In a warm and supportive setting, I help my clients find relief as they heal unprocessed emotional pain. I work with people through their struggles with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem, trauma, or any any other problem they want to discuss in the context of a safe, authentic and accepting environment.

I am a strengths-based clinician providing a compassionate and non-judgmental culture of care for the treatment of anxiety and depression often associated with the challenges of daily life. My practice is based on the fundamental belief that all individuals deserve to feel respected, accepted and "heard." As such, my clinical approach to therapy is client centered and starts with building a trusting relationship so that we may work together to help you attain the quality of life that you desire. To move forward in the direction we want to go takes only one small manageable step to get started. Therapy will then move at your own pace

LIFE PSYCHOTHERAPY is a private psychotherapy practice offering counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, elderly, couples, families, and groups. Since each person is unique, the approach to therapy is unique as well, combining existential philosophy with cognitive behavioral tools. The outcome empowers a person to feel empowered to take concrete actions in order to change or cope with their current level of distress, and achieve success in improving his/her life. Along with Psychotherapy we provide a variety of psycho-educational workshops to enhance personal growth and development without any stigma attached to psychotherapy.

I specialize in women navigating infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum challenges, or any adult or teen navigating major life transitions like work/career changes, grief and loss, or family changes like divorce, separation, marriage, or adoption. I draw on interventions like mindfulness, CBT, Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), and DBT to support healing, growth, and change. I also have a certificate in Perinatal Mental Health, training as a birth doula, and my own experiences with parenthood, stepparenthood, adoption, blended and multicultural families.

The best psychotherapy builds upon a solid relationship between a client and therapist, allowing the client to take risks in examining themselves, acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses, process painful memories and use their strengths to create change. In my therapeutic work I focus on nurturing that relationship to facilitate my client's change and self-acceptance. I am well trained in psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic therapy and family/couples therapy as well as cognitive-behavioral and short term therapy techniques and use what my clients and I believe will best facilitate their goals in treatment.

**ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS**Are you feeling emotional pain and don't know what to do? Are you tired of feeling that way? Are you struggling with negative self-talk that impacts your relationships at home and at work, as well as self-esteem? You don't have to go through this alone. We are here to help you see and claim your GREATNESS.

Beginning therapy is a wonderful challenge and opportunity, one that I am committed to partnering in. My work often focuses on helping clients enact change, manage symptoms, cultivate meaning and live authentically. Additionally, my therapeutic stance is open, empathic and collaborative, creating a non-judgmental space to connect in the valued areas of your life. I am committed to considering the multifaceted aspects of your identity, in understanding your lived experience and moving towards your goals.

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.
