Therapists Beginning With U in New Jersey

As a professional helper, my goals is to walk alongside you and help you find your solutions to problem situations. I believe that the solution to problem situations in life are within you and I will strive with you to find an effective solution to your life struggles whether they be relationships, family, marriage, parenting, work and your overall sense of well-being. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches personalized to the specific needs of each individual. These approaches include Psychodynamic and Person Centered Therapy, CBT, Gestalt, REBT, Family Systems, Play Therapy as well as others.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier life! As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

The past few years have been a time of change, turmoil and transition for so many of us. Feelings can be difficult to manage and express, especially if you feel you have no one to talk to or who can offer you support without judgment . My goal is to offer you a place where you can feel free to speak openly about everything and anything you'd like to in a safe and non-judgemental way.

I founded Uncommon Waters Counseling Services because in the journey of life we find ourselves veering off the path and into some uncommon waters. I will help you navigate through the storm and find your way to brighter days. I specialize in addiction, trauma, and grief. I am a graduate of Seton Hall University and a Doctoral Candidate at Liberty University. I have worked in addiction centers and various mental health facilities. I have attended and completed courses from top Psychologists in grief treatment. As a society we live in some difficult times, if you are questioning therapy please call for a free 15-minute consultation.

Are there aspects of your life that you are unhappy with? Are you feeling anxious, struggling to follow your dreams or having difficulties in your relationships with your partner, children, friends or colleagues? If so, therapy can be helpful to you! Therapy is a space to discuss your struggles with a neutral person who is not a part of your family or your friend. In therapy, we will work together to better understand your struggles. We will focus on building new skills to help you navigate difficult emotions or situations. We will also explore how past issues may be impacting you in the present.

I provide a safe, nurturing, supportive, warm, nonjudgmental, confidential environment in which my clients can explore openly and find solutions to the challenges life brings. Promoting positive changes in thoughts and behaviors. Offering Hope, Healing and Health.

Most times it is not what is behind the door but why you don't want to open the door. Life can be overwhelming. The first step is up to you. Once you come for your first appointment, we immediately begin to formulate a plan to improve the quality of your life. Learn to break lifelong patterns of negative behavior and also deal with current challenges in a safe and nurturing environment. Life can be more rewarding.

Are you juggling many balls wondering which one you might drop? Maybe you’re stressed about work, your boss, or about your relationships. You see it getting to you, your partner, or the well being of your children. Are you busy, socially visible and active, but feel “tired all of the time”, stuck or lacking a sense of purpose and meaning? 
You want to feel healthier, satisfied with your life and relationships, maximize your potential, wake up in the morning embracing your day with direction and purpose. Imagine what that life could look like.

It takes courage to seek help. Therapy can help you develop self-awareness and, most importantly, find strategies to help you live a more fulfilling life. In working together, we will work to develop an understanding of your own story and the obstacles you face. I work with adults with mood disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and life transitions/adjustments. My therapeutic style is empathic, supportive, honest, and open-minded.

If you are feeling stuck in your life or simply feel like you have lost your way, therapy can help. I work with individuals, couples and families who need help with anxiety, depression, disconnection in relationships, or every day challenges that need support and guidance. I am dedicated to helping people with stressors in all aspects of their relationships. As a Certified Imago Therapist, it is my passion to help people reconnect by teaching effective communication skills. When relationships are not connected, it can feel like everything is crumbling. If couples are willing to work at it, they can become more connected to each other.

At some point, we have all felt sad, anxious, lonely, or angry. But, sometimes, we get locked into these emotions, and it begins to feel like our life is out of control. My goal is to help you get back onto the path of living a life that you value. While I am trained in the evidence-based practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, my therapeutic approach is collaborative. If you don't feel comfortable, then none of this will work. Our working relationship is so important and something that I highly value.

Hello there! If you are looking at my profile today, it most likely means that you are currently experiencing some form of psychological suffering, whether it be anxiety, depression, anger, and so forth. I commend your courage in making yourself a priority and taking the steps to get some help. My goal is to re-direct you back into living a valued life through the application of evidence-based psychological approaches - in other words, treatments backed up by science/research. So, while we spend our time talking and processing your current difficulties, I am also helping you develop new ways of thinking, accepting, and living.

You are feeling “stuck” in life because of anxiety, grief or trauma. You want therapy to be a safe, supportive and deeply healing experience. I can help you “do the work” to really shift your perspective, heal from the past, develop healthy relationships, and feel positive momentum toward your goals. If you are open, insightful, and committed to developing better self-awareness; I will provide the safe, supportive structure you need to heal your emotional pain and move forward in your life. Using Psychodrama (a mind-body therapy) and mindfulness I will help you identify and access your own strengths and resiliency.

Early in my career as a healthcare professional, I became aware of the mind-body connection and its effect on our emotional well-being. I view counseling as a person centered, creative process of healing, wellness and self-discovery. I strive to help my clients identify and capitalize on their strengths and to quiet down the inner critic, in order to find their own voice and meaning. I respect cultural and spiritual aspects of my clients' worldview and their unique background. Perhaps you are feeling stuck, discouraged or depleted. You are having a hard time coping with life's challenges or struggling with relationships.

Difficulties in personal or professional life can make anyone feel overwhelmed, confused or hopeless. Relationship problems, health issues, loss, pain or traumatic past can add to the distress. Getting through these obstacles doesn't have to be a lonely process. In a supportive and confidential atmosphere, we can discuss your thoughts and feelings, and together, make sense of your unique life's circumstances, whether you are in crisis, caught up in relationship conflicts, facing identity questions or repeating patterns that don't always bring positive outcomes.
