I am a child therapist who works to empower children and families to make changes to reach their goals. I am uniquely qualified to work with children as young as 2 years old and utilize a variety of techniques to understand family dynamics and embrace each child's unique personality. My office is a safe and relaxing place to help you and your child feel comfortable. I want to help you help your child with clear guidance, reassurance, and practical steps. I address behavioral issues, anxiety, difficult transitions, enhance self-esteem, develop social skills, and utilize coping techniques and mindfulness to allow for growth.

The family is the foundation upon which we develop our understanding of how to interact and form relationships with people. The family is where we develop our first understanding of how to deal with various emotions such as anger, love, happiness, and sadness. It is also where we learn to manage conflict. I believe in taking the strengths and values that already exist within a family and using them to enhance family relationships and Inspire its members to live a healthier and happier life.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery. This work is about finding your own inner balance and resolution and feeling free to express your authenticity. I work with mood disorders, anxiety, sleep, stress, family and relationship conflicts, compulsions and addictions. I use my own mix of many theoretical and practice techniques in the service of your resolution, integration and wholeness, with special expertise in relationship counseling, spirituality and gender issues.

Establishing a trusting relationship and environment that is warm and supportive where clients feel safe and motivated to engage in their therapeutic journey is my essential goal. My approach to therapy is formulated by the uniqueness of the person along with the uniqueness of the environmental and familial systems within which they have developed. Over the past 23 years I have worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples and have treated several mental and emotional health issues. Some of these issues include: Depression, Anxiety, Grief, ADHD, Self-Esteem, Life Transitions, Relationship/Family, and Attachment.

As a person deeply rooted in relationship dynamics, I am passionate and committed to helping my clients explore their growth potential, both in relationships and individually. By nurturing insight and providing consistent support, you will have the opportunity to work at your own pace and work through issues that you feel are preventing you from moving forward. I provide Individual, Couples, and Family therapy in addition to Life Coaching.

I helped individuals suffering with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, Autism, ODD, PTSD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, and grief/ bereavement, etc. While, I have had experience working with clients ages 3-65, I am most passionate about helping children and adolescents. I have worked in co-occurring mental health and substance abuse settings, running parenting, domestic violence, and anger management groups involving both mandated and voluntary clients. I worked in school settings as well. I have also had experience providing career services, leadership development skills, and self-advocacy skills.

We are bombarded with messages daily that we are not good enough just as we are. When we don't feel good about ourselves, our self-esteem and relationships can often pay the price. But there can be healing; we can learn to speak to ourselves with more kindness, and our relationships can once again flourish. As a Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I am uniquely able to understand the complex relationships between all the areas of your life.

My name is Melinda Goodwin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I have 21 years of experience doing individual therapy sessions as well as facilitating groups and couples/family sessions. I have spent my career helping individuals struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, relationship issues, family discord and stress. I am very passionate about helping individuals actualize their full potential and work to remove any barriers that may arise.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I welcome someone who is ready to make life changes and would like assistance to take them from where they are to where they want to be. A willingness to work with a supportive, experienced (since 1979) social worker/therapist who uses dynamic and interactive approaches, knowing that I am the guide, and you are the one who knows yourself best and that healing comes from within. Relationship, self esteem, body image, career goals, family challenge, sexuality, spirituality, illness, loss, addiction, depression or anxiety related issues. I offered my first TEDx talk called Overcoming the Taboo of Touch, about platonic touch by consent.

I also offer individual, couples, and family counseling for issues that include boundary making, maintaining healthy relationships, parenting, managing anxiety, personal development, and premarital counseling.

I am an individual and marriage and family therapist that is licensed to work with couples, adults, children, and adolescents. I have experience working with adults and children individually as well as in couples or family sessions. Therapy is the setting to help build upon your strengths in order to have long-term stress management and sustainable change. I am also able to provide supervision to individuals working towards a degree in Marriage and Family therapy or working towards their license.

Entering therapy is an act of self care that takes courage. It is an opportunity to take pause and honor who we are and how we got here. My approach is to encourage clients to dig deep into what it means to be happy, content, and fulfilled. This process is as much about the questions as it is the answers. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand themselves and their relationships, build insight and distress tolerance, and to develop a "toolbox" to better communicate and relate with their loved ones. Combined, this results in a refined awareness of self and a deeper permission to feel, change, and grow.

I specialize in working with children, teen and adult individuals as well as family systems being impacted by depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ topics, trauma processing/PTSD, relational challenges and behavioral disorders. Drawing from a variety of treatment styles and approaches including Experiential, Acceptance and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (one of the most effective treatments for many chronic, recurring, and challenging mental health conditions), I focus on establishment of systemic connection and the emotional experience, authenticity, empathic understanding and compassion.

I feel that every client, along with their family or loved ones, processes and copes with adversity, trauma, and mental health issues differently. It is important that I build a strong, therapeutic rapport with my clients in order to create a more comfortable environment for vulnerability. Through building a therapeutic relationship based on mutual empathy and rapport, healing and working through difficult issues can happen! Working with the LGBTQIA+ identifying community is a huge passion of mine, including community outreach. You are safe and loved here, regardless of who you are, how you identify, where you come from.

Families in addiction, are you questioning if change is possible? Are you trapped in isolation, feeling helpless and without a way forward? Have your attempts at solutions left you frustrated? I want to share a powerful reality: Hope exists, and you no longer need to tiptoe in fear of the future. With over 20 years of experience, I know the importance of creating collaborative and personalized plans to conquer any challenge you face. Whether it's addictions, thoughts, emotions, or behaviors, together we will uncover your path to reclaim the freedom that is rightfully yours.

I work with individuals, couples and families. It doesn't matter how many people are sitting in the office, I view each individual within the context of the systems they live in each day. We are all part of many systems, marital, family, school, community, work. The relationships and importance each of these systems place on individuals can sometimes can lead to breakdowns in communication and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Treating the dysfunction in the relationship often restores the feeling of wholeness in an individual and of course leads to stronger deeper relationships between individuals.
