I am a Buddhist psychotherapist specializing in transformative therapy that integrates mind, body, and lived experience. My work centers on wellness, growth, and conscious change rather than pathology. I support individuals in recognizing their inherent strengths, uncovering their potential, and dissolving internal and external blocks that limit healing, meaning, and fulfillment. Through a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship, clients transform suffering into insight, and personal power. Clients learn mind/body connection, coherence, and integration, guiding them to move beyond survival patterns towards purpose.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults as well as first responders and their families. I offer cognitive behavioral therapy, integrative therapy, mindfulness based training skills, art/music/play therapy, trauma-focused CBT, life coaching, and other evidence based modalities. I specialize in neurodivergent and first responder/veteran populations.
Four Immeasurables was founded with the intent to help individuals cultivate kindness and to provide a safe therapeutic space for integrative and evidence based practices in counseling and psychotherapy. It is a modern therapeutic space located in Downtown Westfield, NJ. My focus is on wellness not pathology. It is a neurodivergent affirming practice.

Neurodivergent College Group

Hosted by
Misty A Shores

What? How? Navigating college can be difficult but should be a time of growth and self-exploration. For many students with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Order) or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) it can be an overwhelming process. Having a community or group to rely on helps lessen the load and takes the pressure off from constant reminders from parents or others, as well as the frustration of applying tips from neuro-typical individuals who mean well but often have trouble understanding what it is like to be neuro-divergent. Come join our small group community. Groups limited to 8-10 people.
