Therapists in Camden County, NJ

An ideal client would be someone who might struggle with either anxiety, depression, or substance abuse. Their needs and goals would be to improve their self esteem and learn how to cope with the symptoms of their mental health disorder(s). They want to be able to work on themselves with the support and guidance of a therapist until they can do it on their own and live a happier fulfilling life.

Whether the client in front of me is one person or a couple, I look forward to the opportunity to help people feel heard and validated. Helping people identify and express their needs is a favorite part of the therapeutic process. From there, people can begin to identify and set the boundaries they need, leading them to feel empowered within their relationships. My wish is to give clients the opportunity to identify and communicate their needs, set boundaries, and live the life they'd prefer without others' expectations or limitations. I love to watch the transformation as clients live in a way that allows them to feel confident.

Hello, and welcome! Are you experiencing anger, anxiety, fear or sadness? Are you feeling that you have to withdraw from the world? I invite you to join me on a journey to destination reinvent for ages 14-19, adults and elderly 65+. If you are at the crossroads of fear, loneliness, and sadness; detours of emptiness, indecisions, and failure; roadblocks of disbelief, financial strains, and personal pain. I invite you to allow me to work with you on your journey, in a safe therapeutic setting, where you will receive the necessary tools to help realign your thoughts, while empowering you to make meaningful, and lasting change.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to discover the factors in our lives that keep us from being fully alive and happy. People make decisions to enter therapy for various reasons; relationship problems, feeling sad or fearful, or simply the feeling that something is amiss in their lives. In my approach to the therapeutic process I provide a safe, positive environment in which to explore the present difficulty. Together we will pursue a variety of approaches ranging from gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic to hypnosis/guided imagery, depending upon what is best suited to your particular problem.

When I complete intakes and assessments, I enjoy it when the client has an understanding of what they are looking for in therapy. I enjoy the rapport-building process and helping the client feel welcomed into the program.

I am a forensic and clinical psychologist with expertise in conducting psychological evaluations in legal contexts. More specifically, I conduct evaluations including those for child custody, violence and sex-offender risk assessment, independent medical evaluations, fitness for duty, fitness to carry a firearm, international adoption, and child custody evaluations.

It is with great pleasure that I have practiced with individuals of all ages for the last 25 years. I enjoy building trust in the therapeutic relationship-even with those who are resistant or not sure if therapy is for them. Accompanying individuals on their journey to self-discovery and witnessing their transformation is an enormous privilege of my job. People come to therapy looking to "fix" things. We forget that often we contain the solution to our problems, but that the solutions are buried under the residue of stressful life events, trauma and loss.

I can't say that I have an ideal client, as every client presents with their own unique set of strengths and challenges. I find myself drawn to clients whose lives have been significantly negatively impacted by the systems they belong to. Aiding clients with the tools and resources to work on breaking those generational cycles of trauma or poverty, is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have as a therapist. I truly believe that all clients have the ability to overcome whatever challenges they may be experiencing and achieve their personal goals. My only job is to help them develop the tools to do so.

My ideal client would have the desire to work in a therapeutic partnership for positive change. He/she would be open to discussing past experiences, as well as present circumstances, even if it is painful or embarrassing. The client should work hand-in-hand with the therapist to develop short-term and long-term goals that are realistic and reasonable. Overall, the client would accept that this is an active process that requires ongoing work in order to achieve a successful outcome.

My ideal client is seeking the opportunity to live a fulfilling life but is struggling with a mental health issue and may exhibit various symptoms and experiences, depending on the specific mental health concern. They may experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or substance use, which can impact their mood, thoughts, and behaviors, leading to difficulties in relationships, work, or school. This client may feel stuck or overwhelmed by their current situation and may seek guidance and support to help them overcome these challenges. They desire to develop coping skills and strategies to manage their symptoms and emotions better.

I am a licensed counselor with years of experience treating teen/adolescents and their families. My areas of specialty and focus are depression, anxiety, low self esteem, mood disorders, and trauma. The driving force behind my practice is to create a nurturing environment where kids can grow into healthy adults with learned coping skills and a better understanding of their own identity.

I work best with individuals in which are internally motivated for change, looking to work collaboratively alongside the individual to explore depression, anxiety, PTSD, codependency, and much more. My approach to therapy is person-centered and solution-focused, focused on offering a kind, compassionate, yet straightforward approach to growth, which encourages individuals to think deeper and build connections that will assist them with a better understanding of the underlying issues. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is by far the most important aspect that encourages internal growth.

My ideal client is anyone who is seeking help understanding their mental health issues regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. Their needs would be to find a therapist that they can build a therapeutic relationship and learn more about their mental health disorder. Their goals would be to learn coping skills and therapeutic interventions to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Clients will find a warm atmosphere of acceptance and support in which issues are addressed, clarified and improved. Short term therapy is an option, addressing a specific issue. Therapeutic style includes creativity, humor and support. Therapist's professional experience includes success with children, women, men famiies and couples.

My ideal client is someone who is committed to the process of therapy. That client understands that healing does not transpire overnight and is ready to do the work essential to the healing process. Their issues and needs vary, and their goal is to find solutions to those issues. Their goal is to learn and develop the tools needed to maximize their full potential. They do not define themselves by their problems and want to seek ways to overcome those barriers that hinder them from becoming the best version of themselves.

My ideal client is motivated, open-minded, and committed to showing up and doing the work. I work to provide clients a supportive, safe, and warm environment where you feel comfortable talking about the challenges you are facing. I will work with you to identify your personal goals and strengths to help you achieve a more satisfied and fulfilled life that feels true and authentic to you! My clients ultimately want to overcome challenges and welcome change and feel secure being open and honest with themselves in our sessions together. I will be right there with you along the way. Please reach out if this sounds like you.
