Humanistic Therapists in 07043

ACCEPTING that we sometimes need help with life's challenges can be both difficult and overwhelming. My goal is to make GETTING that help easy by creating a safe, non-judgmental counseling environment. My counseling approach is supportive and empathic, while emphasizing self-awareness, empowerment and the ability to change.

Have you reached a crossroads in life where it feels difficult to move forward? Are you facing challenges from an illness, disability, or chronic pain? Isolation? Financial stress? Or just the inevitability of aging? I can assure you that no matter the circumstances, you can bring hope, joy, meaning, and human connection back into your life. Often, people who face difficult situations feel overwhelmed and hopeless. They pull away from friends and family. They feel little pleasure in activities they had enjoyed in the past. And sometimes they fall into habits that hurt themselves or others.

Throughout life we must develop a relationship with ourselves. During difficult times, we find that relationship can be negative and draining due to our experiences or thought processes. My aim as a therapist is to build a positive and uplifting sense of self with room for growth and changes over time. It is my goal to help clients feel comfortable, happy, and safe in their relationships with themselves. Oftentimes, this involves resolving issues of past and present by creating a harmony among mind, body, and spirit.

Due to my clinical training and experience, my services are best suited for families experiencing relationship issues, parenting stress, divorce, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attachment issues, developmental disabilities, and immigration-related concerns. Each of my clients receives an individualized treatment plan, and when required, a battery of tests tailored to the individual needs of the client. My work often includes school visits, participating in IEP meetings, home visits, collaboration with pediatricians and psychiatrists, testifying in court, and consulting with experts.

I view therapy as an active and collaborative process that allows for flexibility and fluidity based on your individual needs over time. I take time to get to know you as an individual and how your lived experiences, including the influence of oppressive systems, transgenerational narratives, culture, community, family, and societal norms have had an impact on your holistic well-being. I stray away from Eurocentric practices that view people as a collection of symptoms that need to be 'fixed'. I view each client as a whole person with strengths they can utilize to build emotional foundations and achieve wellness.

In my role as a therapist, I consider it a privilege to be a part of my client’s healing journey. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to enhance insight, growth and change. Although the past informs the present, it does not have to determine or limit the future. Engaging in therapy can assist you in restoring hope, increasing self-awareness, and improving your connection to yourself and others. Using a holistic perspective to understand my clients' presenting concerns, I strive to create a nonjudgemental space for my clients to bring all of who they are to our work together.

You’re lying in bed and it starts - endless thoughts of what there is to do and what hasn’t been done, what is going wrong or what could go wrong, memories, exciting new ideas, old conversations, thoughts of how to ‘fix’ your sleep/anxiety/mood/organization/relationships/life. Your busy mind can be exhausting yet that is exactly the problem; you just can’t seem to disengage enough to fully relax, enjoy, or possibly even sleep. And all of that thinking does not seem to improve the way you live day-to-day anyway. This is a frustrating paradox when you are trying to reach your fullest potential but it feels just out of reach.

My greatest incentive as a therapist is to help clients explore different ways to make positive changes in their lives by providing them with a better outlook into the future. I know that everyone needs someone to talk to who will listen to them without any judgment. In my sessions, I want each client to feel accepted and heard in a safe environment; a place where they can find themselves and do some searching to move past any issues that are preventing them from living a healthier lifestyle.

Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals. You may be feeling overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety that won’t allow you to move forward and you just can’t seem to get out of your own head. Perhaps you feel ready to take the steps to improve your quality of life, but you don’t know where to start. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can openly discuss any obstacles and recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I now offer Telemental health sessions using a confidential computer platform so you can be in the comfort of your own home.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with advanced training in Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Trauma and Stress Reduction. I provide trauma-informed, general psychotherapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, family, work, and academic problems, and those who wish to resolve traumatic events, sexual abuse, and/or domestic abuse. People have varying reasons to seek therapy, but generally they are experiencing discomfort in one or more areas of their everyday life. This discomfort may be experienced as depression, anxiety, anger, sleeping and eating problems, compulsive behaviors, and/or relationship issues.

Drama Therapy for Kids: Act Your Way out of Anxiety. Is your child suffering from anxiety about school, friendships, or new situations such as divorce? Are your child's issues lowering their self-esteem? Why send your child to just talk therapy when they can heal through stories? Through drama and arts therapy kids communicate how they were meant to communicate - through storytelling and imaginary play. They act out characters, make up stories, share favorite films or t.v. shows while healing from anxiety or depression. A drama therapist speaks the child's language and quickly gets to the core of the problems.

Listening to the narrative of every person's life is fascinating to me. I am empathic, interactive and am a firm believer that good therapy brings results that make people feel more comfortable, empowered, and gives you the strength that is needed to grow. Therapy begins with identifying destructive themes that repeatedly arise, and interfere with one's life. I believe that therapy should be transformative, and provide a healing experience. I am particularly skilled in working with panic disorder/, depression, divorce conflict, and trauma, including sexual abuse.

The most important step towards healing is to acknowledge and address the unresolved emotions inside you. Unprocessed adverse childhood experiences, traumatic events, and family issues can stay with us throughout our lives. Oftentimes, our earlier experiences lead us to function in ways that leave us unhappy, stuck, or unfulfilled in our relationships with others and in life in general. Moving toward accepting what has occurred in the past can slowly dissolve the pain and trauma. I am privileged and honored to hold space for you and your story respectfully.

You're stuck. Overwhelmed. Everyone and everything is demanding your energy, and you don't have anything left for yourself. What's worse, you've tried all the things already. You follow all the therapist IG accounts, you read the books, you journal and you have limitless insight into your difficulties, and yet your frustration and resentment haven't budged. Doing it all by yourself isn't getting results, because humans don't heal in isolation. So here you are, reaching out to another human being for support. And here I am, ready to empower you to move to the other side of your suffering.

I help clients make significant changes in their lives through a combination of very practical goal oriented modalities like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, assertiveness practice, social skills training and life coaching as well as supportive modalities like insight therapy, guided visualizations and relaxation techniques. In addition, I also work with clients using approaches that include meditation, mindfulness and Ericksonian Hypnosis.

Hi! My name is Brittany Wolfson (she/her/hers), I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, Art Therapist and founder of Prismatic Counseling Services (PCS). I use a blend of talk therapy, art therapy and DBT skills to meet your needs in therapy. I value creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients who are struggling with anxiety, negative self-talk and maladaptive behaviors. I primarily work with LGBTQIA+ clients exploring self and/or gender identity, who want to incorporate DBT skills and want to start working in a creative environment for further exploration.

Therapy is a process. I believe the most important elements include forming a meaningful connection, recognizing strengths, and facilitating unique pathways to growth and change. Life can be challenging, it is full of both wonder and adversity, we are all on a journey and at times it can be helpful to talk about what is going on. The last several years have been different than anything we have experienced. As we enter the "new normal" there continues to be a lot to take in. It is important to practice self care and to reach out for support when needed.

Therapy is an empowering and affirming experience. I engage in an individualized and collaborative approach that employs varied techniques to best address your concerns and situation. It is important to create an atmosphere of safety where difficult thoughts and feelings can be freely explored. I am actively engaged and empathic. Collaboration between therapist and client is fundamental in eliciting growth & change. In my years of experience I have seen how therapy leads to growth and enhanced quality of life and overall well-being. People can change to become the fullest version of themselves and live the lives they want to live.

We all want to be our best selves in life. Sometimes, due to a variety of circumstances, we become stuck in patterns of thinking or behaving that make it difficult to achieve our life goals. During these times, a therapeutic relationship can help to reignite passions, bring our best selves back into focus, and inspire forward movement once again.
