Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Titusville, NJ

Have you been feeling stuck with your negative emotions? Do you still feel sadness and emotional pain after years of treatment? Does it seem that no one understands your problems and that you feel “alone”? There is no simple formula to solve unwanted and unresolved emotions. I work with chronic anxiety and trauma, including generational trauma. In my practice, I emphasize the mind and body connection and incorporate Eastern philosophy to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.

My ideal client would be someone who is sick and tired of being sick and tired of struggling mentally. This person would have years of experience with close relationship failure and consistent loss, have seen or been a victim of domestic violence, been verbally or physically abused as a child, and or experienced poverty. They will have either ignored the signs or continued to survive because of fear of what others would think. The person will need to understand what they are experiencing is not their fault, and their goal is to break free of the cycle that has continued for so long.

I work collaboratively with individuals to help them succeed beyond their barriers and overcome their mental health challenges. Whether someone is reluctant or ready to start the work, I meet them where they are in their journey.

You, like so many of us who have survived sexual abuse, often find yourself struggling to create and keep healthy relationships. More often than not, you have a hard time standing up for yourself. You have worked so hard to make yourself feel safe, confident, steady, and worthy. You seek peace at each sunset and hope at each sunrise. Still, there are times when the nightmares haunt you in your sleep, and the flashbacks freeze you when awake. You seek escape from the trauma of your past, but rarely find long-lasting relief. You want to emerge from the turmoil of your past and find your Paths to Healing.

As a nonbinary, transmasculine therapist who has lived experience and advanced education & training working with the marginalized and oppressed, specifically LGBTQIA+ adolescents, adults & their loved ones, I listen first and speak second. As human beings, we need connection to develop, cope, and thrive. Through an integrative approach tailored to your situation, I work from an attachment-based starting point where judgment has no place in the therapeutic relationship. This allows us to build trust and space for you to develop healthy autonomy in therapy and life. Whatever the reason you came upon my profile, I welcome you!

I believe in meeting clients where they are at! Every person is resilient. I intend our collaboration to remind you of your strengths, provide you tools to weather the storms of life, and a safe space to gain insight into your truest self. I come to social work from a social justice background and recognize that trauma and oppression are often intertwined. Acknowledging systemic issues is a vital part of my practice, particularly for youth and families directly impacted by it. Teaching you to advocate successfully on your own behalf, whether it be in your relationships or larger systems, is also essential.

Village Counseling Services offers the longest running comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program in central New Jersey.

I want to acknowledge your courage in taking steps towards improving your mental health and wellbeing. You may have found yourself here because you are seeking something - maybe relief from emotional pain, clarity of your goals, or support during a difficult time. Perhaps you are stressed by the demands of work or school, or are having challenges coping with global issues or changes in your life. Maybe you are noticing that uncomfortable feelings like anxiety or sadness are becoming more constant and impacting your functioning or relationships. I want you to know that whatever your "mountain" is, you don't have to climb it alone.

It is hard to say what my ideal client is because I believe that I am capable of working with various types of people and that each person is unique. Even with a "challenging" client, I have learned a lot and found value in the work. With that being said, my ideal client has a history of trauma that has impacted their ability to connect with others and themselves. They are struggling with body image, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety about how others are perceiving them. They want to be empowered to advocate for themselves when necessary and create a wellness routine that serves as a preventative measure for mental health problems.

The journey to parenthood can take many different paths. Are you finding that your path feels nothing like the pregnancy test and diaper commercials that promise rainbows, unicorns, and happy endings? Whether you have had a baby or are trying to have a baby, the journey can feel like you are on a never ending roller coaster, full of ups and downs, and unsure of what direction to go in next. The journey can evoke feelings of sadness, worry, fear, anger, loss and isolation. It can be overwhelming and confusing. It can leave you feeling like you don't recognize yourself anymore. You are not alone. I see you, I hear you, and I can help.

My ideal client would be motivated to achieve better for themselves. They could be coming for anxiety, issues in relationships, or a stressful life event. They would be choosing to focus on themselves, what they need, and seeking help. They may be struggling with negative self-thoughts and emotional regulation or simply need guidance in how to identify and verbalize their feelings. Their goals for therapy would be to process their thoughts and emotions while developing long-term skills to use in the future.

My ideal client is a young adult aged between 18-30. Their issues and needs may look like learning how to control anxiety symptoms, increasing emotion regulation and distress tolerance while improving mindfulness. This client is motivated and willing to work with the therapist to learn how to change their life to meet their goals.

Too often, we are taught to suppress our emotions and keep going. We may feel that addressing our past and daily challenges are too painful to conquer. I completely understand and agree that taking the steps to heal can seem daunting. I am here to not only support you in the process, but to protect you while doing so. It takes courage, commitment and perseverance to break the chains that may hinder you from being the person you desire. The name of my practice is Truth in Healing, LLC, because I am aware of and acknowledge all it takes to go on this journey of self-healing.
