I believe we are all individuals on a unique journey and mental health treatment should align with that journey. Mental health should be valued just as much as physical well-being. Growing into the best version of ourselves doesn't have to be a difficult and impossible journey, it can be fun and exciting! We all need extra support and guidance sometimes and utilizing therapy is one of the healthiest ways to find that.

Hey there, I'm Ryan! Life is full of ups and downs, situations that can really tug at our emotions and shape the way we think and act. Sometimes, these situations throw us off balance and lead to symptoms that disrupt our daily routines. But here's the good news: through a blend of supportive counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we can work together to steer these changes in a positive direction. CBT is a powerful tool that helps us reframe our thoughts and behaviors for a healthier mindset and lifestyle.

No matter what situation brought you to seeking therapy, know that it is a brave and courageous decision. You may be longing to find hope, healing, and purpose in the midst of difficult circumstances, and intense emotional experiences. I believe in cultivating a positive relationship based on trust, empathy, safety, and warmth. My goal is to create a non-judgmental environment that supports growth and development of insight.

Beginning the therapeutic process takes courage, and can be a difficult first step to make. I believe that by using a direct approach, a safe environment is established that allows clients to process and grow. I enjoy collaborative relationships that enable clients to create and achieve desired goals.

In life we often find ourselves overcoming obstacles. Sometimes we can conquer these hardships ourselves and other times we require some additional support. It can be intimidating seeking professional help, but know that you are not alone. I'm here to accompany you on this path, providing support and guidance as you work towards your healing. As a clinical psychologist, I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences together.

My name is Theresa Santucci, LCSW- owner and therapist at Aurora Sun Counseling, LLC. I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Masters of Social Work from Fordham University and Bachelors in Social work from Stockton University . I am a Gottman Method Level 3 Trained therapist and trained in Trauma Focused CBT. My go to method is Cognitive behavioral therapy but I will use an eclectic method depending on the needs of each Individual. I love working alongside individuals to figure out the barriers to living their best life and how to achieve their therapeutic goals.

All I could ask for in a client is a willingness and openness to learn and grow together in the therapeutic journey and relationship. Some of the areas of concern that we can tackle together are anxiety, intrusive thoughts, depressive symptoms, mind-body connection, existential crisis, relationship struggles, issues with communication and coping, low self-esteem, and counseling for grief/loss. Together, we will reveal the different triggers, limiting beliefs, and experiences that have molded your perspectives and reactions to things in life.

If you're feeling overwhelmed or distressed and would like to enhance your well-being and deepen your self-reflection, I can help. In a non-judgmental and collaborative way, I can provide a space for self-exploration, identity development, and transformation and also help you change and feel happier by connecting to your values. As a therapist, I work with people to gain a fresh perspective on their life and on their relationships. I've successfully treated individuals on how to overcome obstacles, communicate, and live a more fulfilled and satisfying life.

It is my personal and professional goal to assist you in attaining your full potential and goals in the therapeutic process. I am a firm believer in the therapeutic relationship as one of the most important tools in overcoming difficulties. I understand it is difficult to ask for help and I view this as a courageous act. We will work together to help you in working through your difficulties at your own pace and in your time. My typical client would be an adult seeking help with substance/alcohol use, co-occurring diagnosis, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma/abuse, PTSD.

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.

Our services include individual, couples and family therapy, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. Additionally we offer a range of evaluations and assessments with our psychologist. We utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and psychodynamic therapy to help you gain insight, develop new perspectives and create positive changes in your life. Our therapists are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care, respecting your identity, background and beliefs.

My practice is built on the belief that anxiety, conflict and self doubt do not have to be an all encompassing part of anyone’s everyday life. My passion is to work with teens, couples, individual adults, and families. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, strength-based, solution-focused and culturally sensitive approach to counseling. I believe taking part in therapy is courageous and shows a willingness to grow and make positive change. I am continually impressed by the resilience of my clients and consider it my privilege to provide therapy.

It can be difficult to open up about your personal struggles to a stranger. Many racial/ethnically diverse clients find it to be a distinct challenge: “we can’t find a therapist who understands our cultural/religious beliefs & it is too emotionally exhausting to explain it.” In this journey of self-exploration and coping with life’s struggles, the last thing you need is a counselor that you need to educate, feel fearful to talk to about culturally sensitive issues due to judgment or stereotypes, or to feel retaliation from someone who is supposed to provide you a safe space. Natasha aims to create this space for everyone she sees.

Change is not easy, change is necessary, change is the key. Without change, all things remain the same. I will work collaboratively with you to facilitate this process of change and help you to reach your personal goals. I have more than 2 decades of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings. My philosophy is that good mental health only occurs within a cultural context. As an anti-oppressive therapist, I employ a strength-based culturally sensitive, and holistic approach that allows me to support you through conflict and change.

Thank you for visiting my page. In my almost 30 years of experience as a therapist, I have learned each of us has unique needs.

Implementing principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can provide that relief early on. Whatever the source of your distress, whether from childhood, recent stressors or any combination thereof, using a culturally sensitive, strength based, CBT approach is an efficient and proven way to restore your sense of well-being.
