Therapists in Bordentown, NJ

Lets be real. You’re in a bad spot and the last thing I want to do is bore you with optimistic clichés full of toxic positivity and lofty promises of healing and wellness. If you are having a difficult time adapting to everything going on around you and these “unprecedented times”, or if you are frustrated with the collective vibe to just accept crappy circumstances, you have come to the right place.

My ideal client is curious about themselves and the world and actively participates in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with young adults and older adults, but I'm not limited to these populations. My ideal client is at a place of feeling "stuck" in their life. Whether that be a career transition, deciding on a college major, feeling lost in a relationship, or a new onset of symptoms. I am also comfortable with helping individuals unpack their past to understand their current habits. My ideal client wants to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to develop self-awareness and self-compassion along the way.

I want to welcome you. My passion is to teach people the tools they need to have a happier, healthier, more peaceful, and successful life. I have trained under the most amazing therapists in the industry and at some of the best facilities in the world. You can read more at my bio page All about Shannon Two rules 1. You are not alone! 2.

Let our professional staff help guide you back to a path of restoration. You can live a life filled with clarity, peace and joy.

Our experiences mold us in various ways. If I were to imagine a plant that captures what happens to many of us when faced with challenging and persistent experiences, the CACTUS comes to mind. Like the CACTUS, we develop tougher skin and spikes to protect ourselves from problematic situations. When not processed correctly, the development of these characteristics may detract attention from the other powerful properties we possess. For some, the CACTUS may be the least appealing plant. When given the time to learn about it, you discover that the CACTUS is extremely resilient, powerful, beautiful and filled with wonders.

Navigating through life as a young adult/adult can feel lonely, like you are constantly being misunderstood, or that you are carrying the burdens of the world on your shoulders. Life is too short to surrender to emotional pains, traumas, and the control of anxious or depressive feelings. I desire to help you walk in your true freedom, establish meaning & purpose in your everyday life, process difficult emotions, build healthy coping skills, and tackle the obstacles that are preventing you from accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself. Take the steps to begin healing today and allow me to walk alongside you on this journey.

Welcome to the Motivational Counseling Center of New Jersey. Our office specializes in working with you to improve your overall mental health and wellbeing. We work closely with our clients to build their motivation, self efficacy and resilience needed to set and work towards goals. Our philosophy is that enhancing meaning and personal empowerment is just as important as treatment of mental illness. It is believed that therapy can be used to not only help reduce your symptoms but grant you improved ability to identify your values, reduce ambivalence towards making needed changes in order to achieve what is most important to you.

Peace of Mind. The goal of therapy is the relief of emotional distress, empowering you to approach life challenges with a feeling of calm and increased competence. We can work to reduce anxiety, improve mood, learn coping skills and calming strategies. These tools can be applied to a variety of issues including parenting skills, childhood behavior, pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood, relationships, medical stressors, anxiety and depression. I am offering in-office sessions as well as telehealth video sessions to let you choose what is most helpful to you.

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome the struggles of eating disorders, anxiety, depression, self-harm, and substance abuse. I help my clients learn concrete coping skills and effective ways to take control of their lives. The constant battle of obsessing over one's weight, the unrelenting state of panic and fear at times for no understood reason, and the feelings of shame and urges to self-destruct, don't have to be a part of your life. I've had the opportunity to successfully help people work through these issues and find peace and healing that they deserve.

I use a Mindfulness-Based, Person-Centered, and Integrative approach to work with adults in individual therapy. I especially enjoy working with women of all ages with trauma history or issues of self-esteem; and have much experience working with anxiety and depression. I take an integrative and individualized approach with everyone I work with. I am also a certified Reiki Master Practitioner and a certified Aromatherapist.

In order to find happiness, we must first accept and learn from our struggles in order to achieve personal enlightenment. As a solution-focused therapist, it is my goal to help others identify difficult emotions in order to better understand and resolve challenges. I have successfully helped individuals, couples and families improve communication, regain trust and achieve a deeper connection with self and others.

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.

My name is Fern Reinbeck. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I work with clients who have a variety of concerns, including relationship/codependency/attachment concerns, anxiety, OCD/phobias, trouble within family dynamics, substance use/abuse, and those who need help with transitions in life. Please understand that I can only help you to help yourself on this exploration of self care; therefore, if you are ready, we will begin by building a compassionate, caring, and trusting therapeutic relationship.
